You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

OK, this is scary:

Officials are investigating what may have killed some 100,000 fish in the Arkansas River in the northwestern section of the state, authorities said on Sunday.

This fish mystery took place more than 125 miles from the town of Beebe, where officials are still trying to determine what caused 5,000 blackbirds to suddenly fall from the sky on New Year's Eve.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I vote some sort of sooper sekrit government energy weapons test.

They'll never admit it, of course.

You guys do remember all the parallels I drew between my hometown and Sunnydale back in the early 2000s, right?

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

RIP Pete Postlethwaite. He was young.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Dude, birds falling from the sky? Flash Forward.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, totally flash forward. Although if my flash forward was my dream about looking for a place to store my kayak outside my childhood house, I will be very confused as to why I`m in northern Ohio, and also a little irritated that I don`t get my kayak until then.
 
Unofficial onerosity underway! Onerous task number one? Getting out of bed after an insomniac night. Onerous task number two, take trash out, achieved. Feet are cold because I lack slip on snow boots and am too lazy to put on real boots but still. And 2b. included taking out the ashes. Onerous task three, outside pants. Even though I`m not going outside because onerous task three is actually laundry. Engage. Right after my coffee, because I hear my kettle boiling.
