There's a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyes.

Madam had pulled out one of her stitches, but arkady, despite running on three hours' sleep, dashed over to assist, dabbed it with antiseptic and a paper stitch (stick-on, very handy) and got the bucket back on her head! And boy was Madam unhappy about that.

Arkady and redcountess then spent the afternoon and early evening cooing over dollies, and have just bought from Luts a Delf Mature body, a Delf Boy body and a pair of 18mm soft green acrylic eyes. So Arkady's Eric and Liz's forthcoming dollie will both have bodies! I think I have been dollied. This might be a downside of polyamory. At least they're lucky, apparently.

Arkady also finally opened her Christmas Coincidental December Present from _nicolai_ — a comprehensive screwdriver set! Including ... a 9mm Torx driver that got that bastard screw out of my laptop! And this might be an upside. Love you, darlings!

That explains the reaction arkady got in Super Noodle Bowl with one of her dolls that time :-)

There's just something about women and tools.

You should see her with a Dremel in her hand. I'm not sure if she was disappointed the Torx worked.

Dude, if you were using something other than a Torx driver to try to get a Torx screw out then you deserve everything you got.

WHO THE FUCK INVENTED THE STUPID THINGS ANYWAY. HOW BLOODY COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.

Really. What advantage does a six-pointed screw hole have over a four-pointed screw hole? In this particular application, i.e. using a metal screw to hold a plastic laptop together. What was wrong with the Philips heads that seem to do just fine holding Thinkpads together?

I suppose the Connector Conspiracy is the dark side of Compaq's DEC genes.
