    I wonder if the Vice President in question was Cheney or Biden?

    Because I’m not sure if she’s been there long enough for it to be Cheney, but I get the impression she’d actually get along pretty well with Biden.

      Somehow, I’d expect Cheney to be a client of theirs.

      She’d get along TOO well with Biden, methinks.

      It’s probably Mell (wearing the LAME contact lenses)

      The Vice President of Skin Horse, I’m thinking. Sounds like classic ‘the Boss is coming, quick hide all the useless employees!’ behavior.

        The entire–pretty effective, if unorthodox–field team is “useless”?

    Please tell me we get a storyline inside the bureau of yarn weaponisation some time.

      And what is that beside it? (other than a water fountain…)

        It’s a weaponized-yarn dispenser, hence the warning.

          Fun Facts to Know and Tell: The Bureau of Yarn Weaponization has been around for decades. It produced all of Cliff Huxtable’s sweaters on The Cosby Show.

            Cosby sweaters? The fiends! Don’t they know better than to mess with God’s domain?

        They may tak oor knittin’ needles, but they canna tak awa’ oor fleece-spun!

        No, that’s a water fountain. It’s the *sign* that’s not a water fountain.

          And it isn’t a pipe, either.

      I need new glasses for when I’m at my desktop. I could have sworn your comment said the Bureau of YAM Weaponization.

      I don’t know which I think would be more cool.

    Yarn-bombing requires serious research.

    (TUNE: “Vacation”, Pump Boys and Dinettes)

    Hey, what’s a vacation?
    It’s pay for not working!
    Don’t want a vacation,
    It’s making me growl … and … curse!
    We always end up
    On some dumb mission, somewhere else,
    And that somewhere (here or there)</i)
    Is always worse!

      Vacation, worse than staying at work.
      Vacation, HAVE to get away.
      Vacation, wish it’d freakin’ end…

    I wonder what would happen if Sweetheart got the gumption to go on a vacation alone, without the usual gang of looneys. I’m picturing her going on retreat back home in Canada, taking in the sights, sleeping late in her hotel (?) room, and then quietly going insane from the lack of paperwork anyway.

    You know… I’m not sure the spacing is quite right for it to be “weaponization”. Possibly “re-weaponization”?

      I’m hoping for “yarn ponization” myself, what with the co-author’s fandoms and all.

    ONLY because this is WEIRD coincidence – I discovered a yarn related webcomic today – Worsted For Wear – and to have weaponized yarn on skin-horse the same day is just too strange. Then again – its way past by nominal bedtime, so I’m getting a bit stranger than usual.

    Archive dive wasn’t too bad – about 3 hours while switching off w/ other web surfing.

    You know, every time I read ‘Little House’, some small portion of my brain automatically adds ‘Of Horrors’ to it, as in ‘Little Shop of’, etc. I think that little bit of my brain is smarter than the rest of it.

      I think that was a TV movie on Doug once…

      No, wait, that was “Evil House on the Prairie”. Pretty close tho.

    No one likes an armchair writer, but I think *whine* would be as funny as *sob*… because she’s a doggie.

    Plausible. The setting’s version of Ronald Reagan was assembled in a lab in Minnesota, after all.
