The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress

[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.

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

Main Entry: pop·u·lar

Pronunciation: 'pä-py&-l&r Function: adjective Etymology: Latin popularis, from populus the people, a people 1 : of or relating to the general public 2 : suitable to the majority: as a : adapted to or indicative of the understanding and taste of the majority b : suited to the means of the majority : INEXPENSIVE 3 : frequently encountered or widely accepted 4 : commonly liked or approved

So, I meant the fourth definition. I know that poularity can give one power (and the most awful people can be popular in high school), but for the sake of my argument, I meant being liked.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

suited to the means of the majority : INEXPENSIVE

Heh. I like this one -- popular = CHEAP.

Go team Shrift!

Heh. Recalling it went something like this:

Betsy: ...the rhetorical term for the part used to represent the whole.
Me: I know that word. It's -- t mem-fault
Word: t poof
Me: Crap. Okay. It sounds like... Mnah mnah?
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Metonymy
Me: Closer than the Swedish Chef, yet not quite the thing with the thing what means the thing. Bork bork bork!
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Synecdoche.
Me: My English degree is ashamed to be seen in public with me now, isn't it.

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

It's so odd how Minearverse has become the de facto gender studies thread.

Kristen just AIMed me:

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ah ha ha, Allyson!

Although as far as I can tell, it isn't even nature vs nurture, as most people seem to be putting them together in one messy category.

I'm too out of it to weigh in on the issue. Suffice to say that this morning reminded me that I, at least, am different from the majority of men I know in at least one way: the way I behave in a fight.

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

Me too! Groin kicks, right?

You forgot this part:

Allyson: Nature v. Nurture debate
Me: DUDE! That conversation is SO totally following you.

Not that kind of fight, but thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind.

If I only had a brain...

Now we should talk about ita's cupcakes, which (I understand) bring all the boys to the yard.
