The Delta agent: "Wow; you're on top of stuff, because you're literally just the second person I've talked to about this this morning!" She actually had to read the news when talking with the first person because Delta hadn't even gotten an official notification of the airport closure.

This year’s edition also came with vegan drunken whiskey pecan praline king cake from Breads on Oak!
Yes, it's BONG HiTS 4 JESUS and "Fuck Cheer" Day in Romero's Children & the Law!
And this year, it even comes with king cake.

Me, searching "fuck cheer," at work, hoping to find the old ACLU video of Brandi Levy talking about her Snapchat video where she said "fuck school, fuck cheer, fuck softball, fuck everything," and getting results I was definitely not bargaining for.
I suspect I'm now on a departmental IT list.
