very much like a cake from Walmart.
Yes, except cheaper! And in more massive quantities! It was bad, but it was still cake.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Now I am eating oatmeal. It is not like cake.

Sadly no. I'm having more cake.
I'm going to the size of a smallish house if I keep this up. Yet CAKE!

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
God, if I knew where I could find a piece of cake right now. All I have is bitterish coffee.

The people in Moon have been passing around the same herpes sore for 73 years.
According to the book, there is no venereal disease (and virtually no infectious disease of any kind) on the libertarian paradise that is the moon. This, despite the fact that the 2:1 ratio of men to women implies that in every generation the number of newly transported criminals from earth must equal at least 50% of the native population. Criminals, of course, would never be expected to introduce sexually transmitted diseases to a native population. Fastidious group, those criminals.

Well they are Criminals of THE FUTURE, right? Everything's cleaner in THE FUTURE.
The moon book has been travelling around in the back of my car for months. Based on the comments made here, I'm afraid for my walls if I try to read it. I'm thinking I'll just wait for the Tim version.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Bwah! I do seem to remember Kidman—who said "the Duke" like 90% of all the times it was said in the movie—pronouncing it in a reedy squeal that seemed to have a couple of j's and an h.
She went overboard, I'll admit, but I've been told a few times that the u in "duke" and "suit" should be pronounced as an almost-dipthong. Like how Ewan said it.
I still want marzipan.

Speaking of cake, I came to the office today to discover that a co-worker brought some. For no particular reason. Wheee!

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I was going to say:
It was more along the lines of "you've always had a gift for killing your characters, how hard was it not to kill anyone on Wonderfalls, and if the series had continued, who would've been the first to go?" Only she said it better than that.
Also a good question.
Then Tim posted and there was a cake discussion. Now I'll say instead:
Damn. I missed Tim and the cake discussion. I have got to get the internet working on my home computer. Is anyone out there a Linux guru who can magically let me know how to get the modem to work with Linspire or Knoppix? Or, alternatively, does anyone out there have any idea how I can magically get $50 more per month so that I can afford cable internet?
