[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is it just me or does it seem like Greico is aging into Mickey Rourke?

Ooh, good call. It's the combination of bad plastic surgery, manly features and alcoholism.

Has Mickey Rourke completed his transformation into Ralph Feinnes' character from The English Patient yet?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Matt, have mercy. Do you have to be SO mean and yet make me laugh SO hard?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Is it just me or does it seem like Greico is aging into Mickey Rourke?

I confess that was my first impression.

And Matt, that's an eeevil eeeeeeeevil eyeworm you've infested my mind's eye with.

Brain bleach. Stat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Degrees of separation from the Minearverse:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - In an unusual TV comeback, NBC is resurrecting the suburban comedy "Five Houses" seven years after it was conceived at Fox.

NBC is in negotiations with the show's creators, Todd Holland and John Riggi, to order a pilot for the comedy, which revolves around five families living on a suburban Los Angeles cul-de-sac.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

My first thought when I saw Fox was, "scheduled for Friday nights?" But with NBC, there might be a teeny, tiny hope. Bitter? Me, bitter?

Um.

The success of Desperate Housewives may have something do with this resurrection.

What is even happening?

Happy Birthday, Someone*

NOTE: For this salutation, all values of "Someone" are greater than or equal to a particular person, and I am never sure whether that particular person publically acknowledges the date of his/her birth in this venue.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

We have precedent for wishing that someone a happy birthday inthread, yes'm.
