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.

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 did. Fingerpainted whimsical cynicism. Sort of like riding a carousel, except instead of horses, you realize your legs are wrapped around a side of beef from a slaughter house while that crazy funhouse music plays. That expression on your face right before the silly grin turns to horrified disbelief is sort of wonderfallian, I think.

Though, it's possible I should finish this cigarette and go to bed.

So I finished my lesson just in time to tell you good night, then?

G'night Nilly! i should have gone to bed a half hour ago, but then I downloaded Chris Isaac's Two Hearts and have been listening to it over and over because it's so lovely.

So you did something that was nice and relaxing for you? On occasion, it can be just as refreching as sleep.

I TAed a class who really didn't want to be there (if you had to sit in a class on 9am on a Monday (our weeks start Sundays), wouldn't you?), and argue with the people from the class that was supposed to take place there later that I need to finish my lesson before they can enter the room. You would have been much better at that than me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

were entertained in the parkinglot by an old guy who was a copy boy in Wisconsin when the Ed Gein story broke

An aquaintance of mine (that I lost touch with years ago) said that he and a friend were once biking outside Chicago when a very off-putting guy crossed their path and said he had something he wanted to show them. They got spooked and left rather than going to his home, fortunately. He couldn't be sure, because this happened years before the news stories broke and he was a kid at the time, but given the time, place, and physical description of the guy he thinks it was probably John Wayne Gacy. He may have avoided becoming one of the victims by a hair. t shudder

Okay. The next thing you develop should be about baby kitties who catch rainbows. I worry.

Hey, Wonderfalls was sweet and quirky and almost all the deaths were of natural causes. Tim took a break from the grim between Angel and the current project.

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

Eeep. This page includes a random serial killer quote. [link]

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Tim, I'll post your grabs, too. My (our) site [link] gets a million plus hits a month.

Hey, it is no Whedonverse, but it has a following.

What is even happening?

My brother has the best whackjob killer stories. The dude who gutted his wife and strung her innards on stakes in the back yard "because she overcooked the spaghetti" is in his prison.

Ziti. And wow. I remember that case.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Hey, Adelaide has you all beat. We have less than a million and a half people in the entire state, yet have an appalling death toll from serial killers.

Keeping it sort of on topic; the "Tehran Vampire" was recently hanged from a crane in Iran, after first receiving 100 lashes. All in front of over 5,000 spectators. The mother of one of his victims placed the noose around his neck.

NEVAH! Kristen has been salivating for an update, and I shall strike down with great vengeance and FUR-I-OUS anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my sister. And you will know my name is Allyson when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
