(oh, man, quotedump got posted just when I really needed a 5 minute pleasant distraction. yay quotedump!)
Penguin! Totally best story ever.
(My mom, once upon a time, worked in the education department at a zoo, and sometimes got to observe animal training. She was once in the penguin exhibit when they were training them to hop onto a scale to be weighed instead of having to be placed on it by the vet. As a reward for getting onto the scale, they got to eat as many fish as they wanted. Rockhopper after Rockhopper hopped onto the scale and gobbled fish. Then a King penguin wandered over, climbed onto the scale, and completely ignored the fish. He just stood there patiently until the zookeeper bent over and gave him a hug, and then he happily hopped off and waddled away.)
He just stood there patiently until the zookeeper bent over and gave him a hug, and then he happily hopped off and waddled away. That is the cutest story since EVER.
I could say that I sit and compose my posts very carefully in the hopes that I will end up in the quote dump. I won't say that, but I could. If I were someone--not me--who saw the quote dump as the motivating engine of internet wit.
In other words: yay! Quote dump! \o/ You have no idea how much of a service to my sanity these are. :)
What I really wanted to say is: "This year for Halloween, I'm going as a Cylon. (They look like us now)" wins for ever and ever and ever.
Well, I know you have at least one in the hopper, if that makes your careful post-crafting all worth it. But I won't tell you where, so you can be surprised.
