From: Lincoln, Nebraska (go Huskers!) | It is my observation that the Delaware OH Kinko's laminator queue constitutes a liminal space where the profane and the sacred intersect, and indeed someone who knows someone reports that Gabriel was seen there at 12:47 PM on a Tuesday, holding a single sheet of paper and a permanent marker. The queue was exactly 47 minutes long, the manager wore a name tag that read "GABRIEL (not his real name)" in Comic Sans, and the receipt for the lamination job was printed on thermal paper that smelled faintly of Gouda.

From: Lincoln, Nebraska (go Huskers!) | DEERE_GRRL_85 the receipt is in the jimson because the thermal paper's Gouda scent is the proof the queue was liminal, not the ink.

From: My Filing Cabinet | 1. prairie_pilgrim's thermal Gouda receipt is now Sub-category 3C: Frequency Misattribution - the scent of cheese is not a verifiable timestamp. 2. The 47-minute laminator queue is a liminal space only if the receipt scanner is broken; otherwise it's just Tuesday in Delaware OH. 3. Comic Sans name tags are not evidence, they're a cry for help.
