Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This might have been posted a long time ago. But since it's Friday, here's a video of Alcoholic Monkeys Stealing Cocktails from Caribbean Beach-Goers
In 2009, the BBC television show Weird Nature went to the West Indies island named St. Kitts to film vervet monkeys snatching cocktails from beach-goers and then proceeding to get drunk. According to the clip, the monkeys were brought from West Africa 300 years ago with the rum-making slaves and they acquired a taste for alcohol from eating the rum’s leftover fermented sugar cane. The footage was produced and directed by award-winning media company, John Downer Productions.
Drunken monkeys!
What's interesting is the percentage of monkeys who are teetotalers and alcoholics match match human percentages.

So if I'm following the legislative logic here...what we really need is a vaccine that's administered vaginally. Because then it could be legally mandated.
Damn, Jessica.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh my god the drunken monkeys clip. One of my all-time favorite research requests. So many memories!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We bought a new washer last night (top-loading, agitator-less HE washer), and it gets delivered in a week. The old washer still works, but is very, very noisy and possibly possessed by a demon. So I did laundry today.
I am now Googling laundromats. Balls. The one load I put in the washer did in fact wash and rinse, but the spin cycle has given up the ghost. So I wrung that load (t-shirts, socks, and oh my god yoga pants) out by hand into the washtub and threw it in the dryer, where it will probably take 10 hours to dry. Maybe 20. (Okay, probably 90 minutes, but hyperbole is more fun.)
All I really need to wash still is my load of stuff I hang up -- sweaters, jeans, etc. So I only need to do one load of wash at the laundromat, but damn, is it going to not be fun lugging home a load of wet (but, one presumes, at least spin-cycled) laundry.
Modern problems, I haz them.

Ginger, that is really terrible. I'm angry on your behalf, but also angry at our health care system in general.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think you've crossed threads, TB.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Beautiful wee man, Nilly! Nice to see you here.
