Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It's entirely possible that people shorten it in different ways.

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

It's pretty likely that I'm not hearing what people are actually saying.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmmm. I just got an email from a friend saying she had bad news to convey that should be over the phone.

Good news that needs to be conveyed over the phone means babies or marriage.

Bad news means death or cancer.

I don't think she'd broach her bad news that way. So I think it's our friend in common that she'd be telling me about. Who already had cancer.

So I think our mutual friend might've died.

Not looking forward to this phone call.

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

Hmm.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, I am sorry, David. And I hope you can talk soon to know for certain.

It's snowing. There was an intense wind swirl so it looked kinda like hyperspace. I threw another log on the fire and poured another half glass of wine.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

At first I was worried about the woman who emailed me, but now that I let the tumblers fall I think that must be it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awww, fuck. And there's her obit.

My first girlfriend.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Gosh, I'm sorry, David.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, I'm sorry, Hec.

My sympathies.

That is really a charming obit. There's a sense of who she was.
