Vet clinics often have litters of kittens to raise. Either they’re too young for a shelter, too sickly, or the clinic intends to adopt them out when they’re big enough. Whatever the reason, nurses often end up raising kittens and giving them ‘temporary’ names.
The intention of these temporary names is that if you give the kitten a stupid name, you have something to call it other than ‘the middle black male’, but because it’s a stupid name you wont get emotionally attached and end up keeping it. Again.
Which is how some nurses end up with cats that have names like ‘Flea bus’ and ‘Trash bag’.

Build-a-Bear Employee: please,,, I can’t fit any more stuffing into this pikachu
Me: You fool….. Make Him Fatter
i worked at build-a-bear in downtown disney and one time a guest came with a grinch and had me force 6 custom sounds into him which was just him breathing really hard and saying “MERRY CHRISTMAS” into each one the thing is, he had me stuff them into the arms, which were stick-thin so the seams were coming up and i was having to repair his now lumpy grinchy arms this took like 45 minutes and all the while the kid was legit trying to remove my kneecaps, his mom was even telling me that she warned someone this would happen and they sent her straight to me ROFLMAO after he was stuffed to the brim and i could hear the soul of the plush screaming at me for what would be the next eternity the kid dressed him up like batman but his mom was like “NO HE HAS TO BE CHRISTMAS” so he put a santa hat on him and also a little plush gingerbread that smelled like actual gingerbread and it ended up looking like this
i clocked out an hour and a half late it was like 1 am
I always felt there was something sinister—cold and disturbing—about “the world’s first computer-generated TV host”, quintessential 1980s character Max Headroom—but perhaps that was the idea. It didn’t surprise me when I heard that in the US, the show was scripted by Twilight Zone writers—George RR Martin did one (unproduced) episode.
Watching TV as a kid, looking up from my homework, I would occasionally catch bits of the show. It didn’t seem like an actual show, it didn’t have an intro or end credits: it suddenly came and went, as if some malevolent digital subversion had hijacked the channel to spout nonsense at the audience, in that stuttering, electronic, vaguely threatening voice.
I kind of miss that weird, satirical cyberpunk stuff though.
