Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, so that's what happens to the math teachers? Maybe I won't tell that to Emily.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Wait a minute...Why isn't Raq going to the A's game?

Actually, she may be.

Don't you mean VAGINA BOJANGLE?

At Ren Faire last month, one of the tavern-wenchy type girls who was hanging out with our group kept complaining that so-and-so had cock-blocked her. I kept wanting to correct her to vagina-bojangled. Never did, 'cause I figured it would take waaay too long to explain (not to mention ruin my rep as the "token prude." Heh.)

whoever is going to Costco, can you remember to pick up a couple of those big half and halfs and some sugar/sweetener?

oh, and Deb, can you print up some instructions for using the coffeemaker (proportions of coffee, etc.)

We'll get half and half - the hotel will provide sugar and sweetener on demand. No worries.

You bet - I usually eyeball it, though.

I read this as "eyeroll it," at first. All I could think was "Damn, she's good -- brewing coffee through the power of her facial expressions!"

Yeah, it's a sort of combination "single eyebrow twist triple growl dismount using stern tone" maneuvre.

Or, as Eddie Izzard says, not really a maneuvre. More of a gesture.

t over in the corner, the coffee is frantically brewing, driven by both fear and awe....
