"tell me your favorite coyote stories" coming from a wildlife ecologist is *not* an invitation for me to talk about that time I forgot I could speak English

or the time I got a chunk of Brookhaven National Laboratory on lockdown

or the time I threw lawn mowers off a roof

@Leucrotta After some consideration, I can't stop wondering how you got a national lab to even partially lockdown.

@LexYeen okay, exaggeration. I did manage to get a chunk of buildings on alert from "a suspicious person sneaking around" apparently, by which time I'd gotten really bored and biked off to the oceanography library. I only found out there'd been some sort of deal after I'd been blissfully in the library reading for a few hours.

@LexYeen There were some dudes in a clean room doing *something* with *some* sort of device, and you could watch it through a window, so I did, but I had exactly no idea what they were doing and still don't so after a while I got bored and went off to read magazines.

@Leucrotta Gotta love being the false positive for institutional paranoia, huh?
