Mine were shipped from New Castle DE
See, this is so wrong. I'm twenty minutes from there. Where are mine?? Probably Texas.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
if we assume Jaye's tchochkes are only moving and speaking in her head
I don't think I assumed that. That makes her kind of crazy, and I didn't think she was crazy. I thought there was some actual force communicating to her to get things to happen. She was fate's bitch, after all.
In Tru Calling, all the talk of fate was ridiculous because it was stupid for fate to require someone to go back in freakin' time to fix things, but here, there's no going back in time. It's just a force trying to make things turn out the way they're supposed to, the first time.

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

Why can't the force speak to her in her head?

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
no violations of natural law are going on.
It wasn't so much the natural law that squicked me, but the thought that this was supposed to be funny that this woman was impregnated against her wishes.
I would like to think that Tim would have intervened and explained the unfunny to Bryan.
You said something before about Bryan being gay and maybe not getting the how women-folk get pregnant. Were you kidding or do you think the not really having to deal with women sexually means not really having put much thought into the physical aspects of it?

Art Crawl!!!
I had intended to start watching last night -- you know do the whole season, but actual life stuff interfered with my dvd viewing. Maybe tonight. . . .

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

Maybe he would've explained the unfunny, but how many unwanted (miracle) pregnancies were there on Angel again?

1. Learn from your mistakes
2. At least they had prophecies and magic and magic and prophecies

Oh, I was being sarcastic there. Since my own exposure to info of the No, Babies Don't Come from under Cabbage Leaves variety started back in the 5th grade, I'd assume that Bryan has run across the same at some point, even if it didn't turn out to be personally relevant.
To clear up my earlier statement P-C, my assumption is that Jaye's not crazy, but that the tchochkes don't actually move and speak in physical reality. Whatevever it is that's communicating with her, it's doing so by giving her visions rather than changing objective reality.

Ha! No, I figured that there was no stork confusion.

Trust my rage
I completely love the design on the Wonderfalls DVD (which arrived just now). It's so creative looking while reminding me of childhood at the same time.
Ok, I have to go watch...
