Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Liese, how very sad.

It's very good to know that Castle is on the watchout for correct usages of the word ironic.

What am I supposed to say to the work guy that wants to go to lunch with me? How do I deflect? I...I dunno. There are so many people here I like more than him, and I don't go to lunch with them.

msbelle, take your meds!

I am wearing earrings, necklace, cufflinks, and lipstick today. All gussied up. Oh, and Ace bandage.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Liese, that is just horribly, horribly sad news. Peace to everyone involved.

Nilly, as others have said, your only offence is your absence. And I forgive you for that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tell him lunch time is your time to decompress, or you need your alone time? I dunno.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

- realized I had not taken anxiety meds for 3 days!

Oh, hey. ::takes meds::

ita, how's the hand? I'm guessing that the Ace bandage means still swollen.

Maybe ask the other people too? And go once and then be busy/bring lunch from home if he tries to ask again?

A reader writes to Sullivan's blog:

The Tea Partiers were created by Republicans.

They devolved.

They rebelled.

They look and feel like Republicans.

There are many copies.

And they have a plan. (Maybe)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

tell him you have errands to run and then be gone. or that you have other plans. or "not today, swamped, maybe another time?" or "just got asked for new XXX on project, need to work through lunch today, sorry." or "not feeling great today, raincheck."

what? I don't like people, I have a million of these.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

They also found that mothers favor rhetorical questions when dealing with children ironically, but fathers are fond of sarcasm. (Speaking purely from personal experience...that sounds about right.)

My parents are the opposite of that.

Coding and Sleeping

Sorry Liese, that's so tragic.

Good luck for Amych's DH.

After hearing so much about Christine O'Donnell, I decided to visit her campaign website to see first hand what her positions are, but there appears to be nothing there.

All I've heard from her are the typical empty generalities. Well, that the MTV clips about the masturbation thing, which I'd admit are awfully funny.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Tommyrot, that's terrifying. The vapid blonde on Fox & Friends even LOOKS like a Six!
