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

What's "roll tide"?

I have one more sequestered day. Thank dog the consultants they usually send are of good humour. I don't know if that's a consultant thing, an IT consultant thing, although it is making me overshare. And be overcruel. I just told them that one of my coworkers cries every time he goes to the washroom.

"Roll Tide" is cry of the University of Alabama sports fan.

As opposed to "Roll Wave Roll," which is for Tulane. (It seems there aren't that many verbs for ocean-related sports team names.)

OMG, you collegiate sports people are insano-crackers. Nutso! National sports are the only way to go.

not your mom's socks.

And we have moved on to the 'kill it with fire' portion of the sinus infection. And at least a marginal acknowledgement that this may indeed be the same sinus infection I've had since MARCH. Also, we will now get a CATscan, after the big-gun antibiotics regimen finishes in (gulp) 28 days.

I am so tired of this, y'all. I'm actually thrilled at the idea of fire. I want to feel well again. And be able to think clearly.

Thank you for the good wishes on the refi/appraisal. We need every ounce of it. I will throw confetti made from my bigbadbankbook if we get through this.

The University of Alabama mascot is the Crimson Tide (which, frankly, always sounded like it was related to menstruation rather than algae [I'm assuming they mean red tide from nasty algae, and I have no idea why that would be a good mascot, but then sports mascots often baffle me, living as I do in a state where Chief Wahoo is still considered peachy keen]).

Good god, Sox, that's awful! Good luck with it!

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

USS Enterprise in Christmas Lights

This Constitution-class starship comes equipped extra running lights. According to several redditors, it’s on display in East Peoria, Illinois. That city is apparently famous for its grand Christmas light displays.

Have they checked you for MRSA? That's what the sinus infection that would not die was.
