Yes, but does he remember to thank his massage therapist, his chiropractor, and his acupuncturist?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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
Dude said I should probably keep an eye on Tim's cool website for information on airdates
Was he sort of tall with glasses, extraoridinarily well-dressed and sort of backstreet boy-ish?

No, Betsy. But he does remember to thank his parents, God and Ayn Rand.

And also don't set your Tivo for Friday nights -- I'm told Friday is out. More later when I know the specifics.
Yay! This is such good news. I can't wait to see it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Good news for network support and no Friday death slot, but on a more selfish note... it's gonna end up starting in the summer when I have no tv, isn't it? Damn.

Hey. New board.
My biggest problem with the whole "parents, God and Ayn Rand" thing is... well, actually, I have a two-fold problem with it.
First, Ayn Rand would be very very annoyed at somebody thanking her and God in the same breath.
Second, the idea of God and Ayn Rand having a baby is about as scary an idea as I can imagine. Do we really want the next son of God to be a libertarian and objectivist? That seems like an anti-christ waiting to happen.

What is even happening?
I'm told Friday is out.It's Christmas already, and I haven't done my shopping!

I'm told Friday is out.
The whole Fox thing still freaks me out. I think I won't really believe the not-Friday-night-thing until I see the whites of its eyeballs on another night. OK, bad metaphor. Still, launching off season seems promising to me. I mean, Grey's Anatomy seems to be doing pretty well, and it just launched. Plus, for purely selfish reasons, it would mean that I would get to see what Allyson's been talking about sooner!

Did you need an extra comma in there, Gris? As in "parents, God, and Ayn Rand"? 'Cause that's how I read it.

Um, it's the time-honored joke about the serial comma.
The question is, is it right to say "I'd like to thank Tom, Dick, and Harry" or to say "I'd like to thank Tom, Dick and Harry". Some organizations do it one way, some the other. The "parents... Rand" phrase is the standard example of why the second comma (known as the serial comma) is important.
