It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

I don't specifically know, but it would prevent companies from giving nontaxed benefits/income by just classifying it as a gift.

Okay, I can understand that. I'm guessing his co-workers didn't know this, though, because they just would have paid for the gift themselves. Otherwise it's pretty tacky.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, I'm sure they had no idea - it's the kind of rule that I'd bet is there to prevent crazy deals where you get, I dunno, Ferraris and shit as an "unoffical" part of your compensation. It's a shame that it bites innocent giftees like Bob, not to mention whoever gets stuck doing the accounting for funeral flowers at Sophia's always-wacky workplace.

Seriously! That is way more annoying than our situation.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ack.

The SO just called me from the highway. He's spun two 180s, but thinks it's too dangerous to try to turn around. A 4 wheel drive just spun out in front of him. So he's trying to get to town to maybe come back home a different way, but he might be stuck in town. And me stuck here with no car, because our intern has our (AWD) van but is stuck in his driveway in town.

Worried! I wish he'd just turn around but I understand why he doesn't want to.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Happy anniversary, Amy & S!

Wishing careful and safe driving to Liese's SO and intern. And every one else around there.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Careful driving, everyone!

Because books.

Oh, 180s are scary shit. Be careful, Liese's SO!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yikes! Lots of safety~ma, Liese's SO!
