You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

I would take the threesomes only because I don't like heights.

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

Someone's always going to get the shaft (no pun intended).

I think if you're all decent people with a well-balanced dynamic, there's no reason that has to be true without resorting to a stopwatch.

But, then again, I might be having a hard time seeing it, since I don't have a problem with either being the least hot or the least paid attention to. As long as I get to get my rocks off and get other people's rocks off, I don't really mind. Assuming they're both attracted enough to me to get our clothes off at the same time, anyway.

Wasn't someone using those? Aren't they cold now?

Maybe not right at the time. People could have lost them while they weren't wearing them.

he hadn't been in America long?

I love how the dispatcher said "You're a cab driver. Work it out." Never mind look at his GPS. Is that breaking people of actual mapreading nowadays? If the voice doesn't take them straight there (which it didn't), are the lost automatically?

When do the football games start today? I am trying to time my grocery trip correctly.

Apparently, no matter how much coffee I consumed, lying down with my eyes closed, covered in cats, means I sleep. Cause I can't do anything else. I'm not even supposed to swim today. Which...yeah, makes me pretty damned cranky.

Our house is listed wrongly on some of the major GPS databases. If we have a plumbing problem or something angry service people call and ask "what is your real address?" It takes some argument to convince them that the GPS is wrong.

Ravens/Pats starts in about a half hour, I think. Giants/49ers is 3:30 board time? So 6:30 for you?

Now I need to figure out which game Cincinnatians are likely to be watching. Both, I guess?

Anyway, thanks. There's nothing worse than going to the grocery an hour before a game starts.

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

According to 1950s futurists, women of the year 2000 would be giantesses

The woman of the year 2000 will be an outsize Diana, anthropologists and beauty experts predict. She will be more than six feet tall, wear a size 11 shoe, have shoulders like a wrestler and muscles like a truck driver.

Chances are she will be doing a man's job, and for this reason will dress to fit her role. Her hair will be cropped short, so as not to get in the way. She probably will wear the most functional clothes in the daytime, go frilly only after dark.

Slacks probably will be her usual workaday costume. These will be of synthetic fiber, treated to keep her warm in winter and cool in summer, admit the beneficial ultra-violet rays and keep out the burning ones. They will be light weight and equipped with pockets for food capsules, which she will eat instead of meat and potatoes.

Um, I'd guess Ravens/Pats as that's the AFC championship, which will decide who goes to the Superbowl from the Bengals' conference. So, honestly, you're probably good to go in a bit here.

eta: but yeah, they'll probably be watching both. I know I will. The boys are out hiking (they got windblown out of their camping last night, but it snowed today and is lovely out so they're tromping around) so I have the house to myself to do laundry and watch football, which is ok with me.

Well, that's true enough.

Apparently at one point there was a whole movement to give women pockets, because women's clothes didn't come with them. I guess because they interfere with the hang of the material? Still, I'm always a bit resentful when my slacks don't have pockets. Where will I put the change from buying lunch?
