If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Even completely free of any history, as if it had just been made up today, it's stupid and horrible.

Horrible's kind of the point.

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

I don't even know what to say to that. "People really are that stupid" gets borne out over and over.

"You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."

American Exceptionalism - you're doing it wrong.

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

Definitely good news for Darby!

ION, it looks like Planet Earth wants to fart us to death because we've been so selfishly polluting it.

I brought ginger cookies and still have half a tin left. They are NOT coming home with me.

Maybe kbugs mechanic would like them?

Our wings are not tired.

Vortex, how are you liking your new work and location??

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel suspiciously human. I expect it to wear off right around the time of my three-hour rehearsal tonight.

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

I had office hours, then gave exams, then graded exams. Now I'm exhausted and achy. I want a cookie.

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

I'm okay with my profession not having a naked calendar, because it would be too close to imagining my co-workers naked. However, while I was a krav instructor I tried really hard to convince the guys to do a calendar (as naked as it takes), but never got traction.

It actually takes very little to get field archaeologists naked. Especially if they're British, I suspect. In fact, on multiple occasions while working in field archaeology I was inadvertantly flashed by coworkers who didn't wear underpants.
