REVENGE IT IS NOT SWEET!
Uh actually it seems a tad anticlimactic, maybe a bit petty
WELL IT WAS AT LEAST OF A SIMILAR SCALE TO THE PRIOR OFFENCE
Eh I’ll give you that
IS ANYONE ELSE IMAGINING HOUSES MADE OF WHEELS
You fill old tires with dirt, stack them on top of each other, and pack dirt in between them. It’s called an “earthship house” and they’re supposed to be an eco-friendly.
Having dealt with actual red tape, I can tell you that it is not adhesive, being a sort of woven cotton ribbon for tying up documents. It’s also usually pink. In the past it wasn’t meant to be, it just faded; the modern version is pink on purpose (http://www.companyseal.com/pink-legal-tape/).
I’m an archivist; we still tie up documents with cotton tape quite a lot. It doesn’t degrade over time the way staples or adhesive tape (argh!) do.
That is an awesome slogan, and a wonderful lesson!
I plan to put it to use immediately at work. Heh. Heh. Heh heh heh he he he he he. Bwa ha hah ahahahahah! Change Control Board, you shall suffer for your obstructionism!!!
No worries, this place is a safe environment for potential mads I’m sure. Oh wait, it’s on the internet… Well an understanding environment at least… Probably.
I wouldn’t say “a person’s narrow range of interest or abilities”, but rather “within a person’s authority or capability”. Originally, wheelhouse referred to the shelter from which one steered a boat. On bigger boats, this is the bridge, which is clearly the seat of command authority.

I am!
You’re unsweet, anticimiatic, and maybe a bit petty?
Well I am now.
That’s actually a legit thing.

Tire upcycling week in webcomics world: http://xkcd.com/1659/
…someone else make something about the “cycling” joke available there, it’s too early for me.
Earthships are a pretty big thing up in the Taos, NM area. I’ve been inside one, they’re pretty cool.
Doublestick red tape, for holding up those strapless gowns at the bureaucratic balls.
Bureaucrats have Balls?
Director Coulson, Sweetheart ain’t
C’mon Sweetheart, just bite her. You know you want to.
Bite her right in the wheelhouse.
And by “bite her” you of course mean “write her a strongly worded letter”.
Red tape is double sided? No wonder it’s so hard to untangle.

Huh. So *that’s* why those bodkins have a needle’s eye. I had wondered.
Clearly, Unity should have trained in the British art of Notary Public.
“Red tape sticks on both sides”
That is an awesome slogan, and a wonderful lesson!

Ahem. Sorry about that.

Eveything’s coming up wheelhouse.
I had to look that one up—apparently, not a common bureaucratic phrase [apparently]—but referring to a person’s narrow range of interest or abilities.
I’d say she has a black belt in bureaucracy!
Beware Dr. Engelbright.
You may be the pilot on this ship, but Sweetheart is the Captain.
Ah, but who has command authority at the red-tape desk?
I wouldn’t say “a person’s narrow range of interest or abilities”, but rather “within a person’s authority or capability”. Originally, wheelhouse referred to the shelter from which one steered a boat. On bigger boats, this is the bridge, which is clearly the seat of command authority.
This is why decisions must not be made out of spite. They tend to come back to bite you in the butt.
As another example, what is about to happen to the office manager via Sweetheart.
I’m glad to see that these two ladies are getting along so well! ^_^
