Evening, all.

Anyone fancy a trip to New Casablanca? Reckon there are plenty of us who could use something in the vein of a vacation given all we've managed lately. I know I ain't alone in knowing a few folk who could stand to relax some.

( he's not naming names, but. these people Know Who They Are. )

Just a day or two, probably heading out Friday and back Monday evening so's those of us working don't miss too many shifts. We'd be going by gate, so it wouldn't be too much out of our way time-wise.

@ gaby, may I have a moment of your time?

Oh — no, no, it ain't morbid at all though trust me I see the confusion. A tenter was a device used for making cloth. Wool, I think? The phrase just means... you know, being kept in a state of tension?

Hadn't thought about it like that, but I suppose for the sake of metaphor?

Alas..... what's done for the sake of the metaphor.

[preseance]

Well, if you wanted that phrase banned from my vocabulary forever after, you may've accomplished it.

Yay, Loki. Gold star.
