"You never finish your work on time. Sometimes you don't finish at all. You don't work well with others. Your communications skills are poor at best. We should fire you right now."

"Sir, this is Congress."

"Oh, yeah, right. See you at the Christmas #Party?"

"There's a deep #chasm between a CEO's pay and those who produce the actual product," Trevor said mournfully.

"Yeah, that's why I steal office supplies and take two donuts from the box each morning," Pat replied.

"Living the dream, Pat. You are living the dream."

As one of my partners in crime said, "The joy of writing 'The End' will never get old."

I just put the stamp on my ~25k tale.

Will Grandfather Frost put an end to the Fae, or will they #RiseFromTheAshes?

I mean if you are offering snacks while we battle our demons, then maybe. Nothing is a bigger bummer than an empty snack bag in the middle of an existential crisis.

"This #chalice dates back to the Roman Empire. Taste the ambrosia. Hail Caesar, long may he reign!" Carl lofted it high.

Sally slapped his shoulder. "That's a Big Gulp cup and you are drinking Mountain Dew. Stop messing around, the next episode of ONE PIECE is starting."

The generations of the past ignored us. They had their own wounds to tend. The newer generations think we don't understand. But we've seen things. We've been through the shit. It's near impossible to hurt our feelings or make us #blush. We're built Gen X tough. #vss365

Some people say Mars is a #desolate wasteland.
That's a lie, sort of. I saw a lot of dead people today.
And it's my job to figure out what happened to them.
So that's exactly what I'm going to do.
At least, I get to do my job in peace.

The cacophony of battle rang in their ears. Grimed sweat marred their face. Grizzled veterans dug their heels deep into the sodden turf knowing their #beleaguer(ed) defense must hold the line. A shot sizzled into the crowd. Goaaaaaal! The Reds are B-League champions! #vss365

He was listless. His throat dry and cracked. Then, a #sombre darkness enveloped him. The harbinger of his death? He raised his head, pleading for the end.

A sun-weathered, gaunt man with a toothy grin hovered over him. "ΒΏey, you want a sombrero? Only 5 dollar."

We #draw the line here. No quarter for the wicked!

My liege, who are the wicked?

I don't know. Anyone who disagrees with me!

Everyone disagrees about sumthin' or 'nother.

Do YOU disagree with me?

Ah...ah...n-n-no. I am a loyal servant of thy Royal Echo Chamber.

Heh, 92Β° & Sunny, still the leaves are falling.

The access pad flashed red. "The door won't open," Walter said.
"You better figure it out. The hull isn't going to hold long in this debris field," Benedict shouted.
"I know. I can't figure out the #cipher."
"Is it in Russian? Alien?"
"No, teenager."

"What is that?"
"They're called #headphones. People wore them to listen to their entertainment."
"Where's the neural-link and the holomitter?"
"They didn't have that. They used giant LED screens and even unplugged from time-to-time."
"Wow, that was truly the stone age."

The #windmill no longer turned. The well had run dry. Nowadays, rush hour was just Old Rudy rushing to meet his bondsman. I pulled into the mall parking lot, a barren concrete desert. Inside only the Glamour Shots and a kiosk selling barbecue prighozin were open... #vss365

Me while #editing : Anything we don't like, we'll turn it into a happy little phrase or something; we don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents. Maybe in our world a happy word lives over here. How about a bunch of new happy words? Wouldn't that be nice?
