[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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Look at all the jokes that were made about Martha Stewart's cellmate.

Coincidently, Sean just posted the lyrics to the song "Date Rape" over in Bitches that talks about it, too.

That's the way it had to be.
They locked him up and threw away the key.
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,
even though he now takes it in the behind.

Nope, the DOJ just started a survey to track prison rape in 2003. There's been no national study before, but there have been statewide studies that suggest the number is pretty high.

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

Jim Goad did a piece on prison rape in Answer Me! years ago that I remember reading. Will try and dig up...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Right now, his mold to me (Firefly notwithstanding) is X-Files. So creepy, dark, FBI? Check.

Yep. When he appeared on Angel my reaction was "OMG, Knowle Rohr!"

Does anyone have a link to AB's post about being on "The Inside"?

I cannot for the life of me remember my username for the FF board!

D'oh! I hit post before I meant to: for "pretty high" substitute "100-150K." Because "pretty high" conveys nothing at all.

Ooo, you have Answer Me? I'm jealous.

I'm a big Jim Goad fan. Love his writing, even when he and his writing make me want to beat him to death with his own limbs.

Going back to the crime statistics for a moment...I feel like women are more likely than men to be the target of a serial killer. I mean, obviously, there have been cases where serial killers victimized men but they don't seem to be the norm.

Though that could be just my perception from watching too much A&E.
