    • for the MINI’s sake
    • because she has all those Doc Martins
    • because she has a really cool Mom
    • because she knows somebody that knows Debbie Harry
    • because she also has cool IT glasses in addition to IT hair
    • because she has  developed a new NATO alphabet which includes “n as in numinous” and “p as in portmanteau”
    • because she has never, to her knowledge, been friends with a Sagittarius
    • because she dares them to hire her
    • because she is carbon-based
    • because she was the inspiration for the song “You Shook Me All Night Long”
    • because she missed RJD2 at the Orange Peel
    • because she really is sorry
    • because she cannot afford Gillette Fusion razor refills
    • because it was October’s fault after all
    • secret reason
    • because she deserves it

    • that ass is bangin
    • I like xty so much better when she’s drinking!
    • she looked her best in the 80s, with the butterfly headband and the unspeakable tortoiseshell glasses

    (addendum to this.)

    You know, shamefully,  I  forgot all about Mice Parade, which called to mind Danger Mouse when I ran across them.   Discovered Bear In Heaven this morning, and was reminded  of Minus the Bear.  I also think Gregor Samsa qualifies.   There is no need to mention Modest Mouse so I won’t.
