So Hi, I’m Chris. I make gadgets, or find gadgets, or fix gadgets. I have three kids. Two of them are cis but they’re not militant about it, and anyway it’s not like they’re heteronormative. My spouse is a mad (angry) scientist, formerly nuclear physics latterly genetics, yes you should be afraid. I adore cats, and wordplay. I would be thrilled if you’d show me your puNO CARRIER.
#Introduction #oncemorewithhashtag
We (my family) are sitting around fantasy-casting “The Muppet Princess Bride”. Kermit and Piggy as the leads obvs, but so many great cameo parts. The Swedish Clergyman. Beaker the Albino. Sweetums the Giant. Miracle Rowlf and Janicerie the not-a-witch. Rizzo the six-fingered rat. Pepe the Spaniard. Prince Honeydew. The Great Gonzini. Fozzie the gatekeeper (oh, you mean THIS key, waka waka). Special Guest King Statler and Queen Waldorf.
Auspost have admitted that they have lost the parts for my coffee machine (or rather delivered them two months ago to the wrong place, which they say is nearby according to GPS and was photographed by the deliverator in lieu of signature, but which they cannot divulge). Auspost suggest I dispute the payment and stick it to the innocent seller. I am not such an asshole. BUT AS $DEITY IS MY WITNESS I JUST WANT AN ESPRESSO.
Delivery has been in brisbane for two days and not delivered. Has anyone ever had a F*d*X delivery /not/ be a shambles (it was the only option or I’d not have chosen it)
