Ok hear me out.

Thin sliced fennel, Sliced pear, blue cheese...

@thefishcrow Even better: http://oloyogurt.com/ . Walter White approved!

@thefishcrow !!!

STAY WHERE YOU ARE. AN AGENT WILL CONTACT YOU SHORTLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

@thefishcrow Oh! And in a sleep fog she interpreted "This is a message from the EOC" as "THIS IS AN APPROVED MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES" and I think I might need to buy her ice cream later today.

(I work for the federal government in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You may draw your own conclusions.)

@thefishcrow And I'm not even on call, but here's that whole "Duty and Responsibility to the people who rely on you"... THING. So I gamely logged into work and started validating shit.

My wife, who wasn't aware that I'd signed /her/ up to receive similar operational messages so she's aware when work gets dangerous was very perturbed. (Oops.)

Still waiting for the all clear this morning.

Nothing like getting a page from the EOC at 5:30 on a Saturday that your office is on fire and you should evacuate immediately. -_-

OK, so jwz has observed that The Crow and The Candyman are both horror stories where the Super Natual fights gentrification and it's a bit of a stretch but MAN is that concept doing it for me today.

How many OTHER horror stories deal with people desecrating sacred ground or violating land agreements? Amityville Horror, Poltergeist, Pet Cemetary, BUFFY THE FUCKING VAMPIRE SLAYER??

I don't know what the lesson here is, apart from "Know your neighbors and be nice."

I'm allowed to overcome my abuse and live a happier life. I'm allowed to ask for things. I'm allowed to have needs and desires.

I am allowed to be honest about my needs and emotions. I am good and worthy and I deserve to be happy.

#MetaFilter continues to serve class and culture.

Comment from phooky@MeFi:
So you say the shoe won't... boot? That the firmware is laced with errors? That there's a sole point of failure? Was the engineering team caught flat-footed? Did they try to shoehorn in too many features? Were they able to cobble together a fix?

*takes deep breath*

ok. I'm... ok. I'm done.

sorry to be such a heel

So what lipstick goes well with bald masculine-presenting men? #MakeupQuestions

Yes yes, very funny.

Alright mister smartypants, YOU take a Mexican beer into the shower and put it next to the bottle of Dr. Bronners soap and tell ME how that ends up working for ya.

@OldManSteiner I'm tempted to point out 'landlubber' but you do make a good point.

@OldManSteiner I, a landlubber, still don't know what a knot is.

@OldManSteiner Knots?
