Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

How did the whole poem go, with the making him pay, bit? Where's the rhyme?

Oops. I meant toe, not tail. So it goes:

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe
Catch a tiger by it's toe
If he hollers, make him pay
Fifty dollars every day.

We have thunderstorms with hail in some areas, flash-flood warnings, and a fog advisory. And snow predicted for tonight. Are the forecasters just trying to cover all bases, or should I anticipate rain of toads before we switch to sub-zero temps at the end of the week?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

VM: So the fact that the listening in didn't even ping me probably says something about me, and not a good something. Meep. The kaoroke was weird and gratuitous, but I love the song and KB really sold it. I have to admit I did laugh out loud at "Smile and say "repressed homosexuality" despite it being a pretty old chestnut, and I thought the very end of the episode was an effective sucker punch.

That said, I REALLY don't care much for the Veronica character anymore, despite really liking KB, because she strikes me as the smuggest teenager ever (and not just this episode), which in TV-Land takes some doing.

I think I'm sticking it out, though, since a) 24 won't be interfering with it after all, b) they are supposedly wrapping up the mystery and I would like to know what's the what, c) I still like the supporting cast (and characters) a LOT, and d) I figure it won't get renewed, so I may as well ride this year out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I REALLY don't care to much for the Veronica character anymore, despite really liking KB, because she strikes me as the smuggest teenager ever

When I realized that VM is basically a teenager with the maturity of a 24 year old, I suddenly had a lot less respect for KB as an actor.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, I just realized I haven't eaten any tamarind balls yet. I think I may need to change that today.

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

I think I may need to change that today.

I highly recommend that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

God must be punishing Chicago for something naughty someone did.

ION, I have the sinus infection from hell. That's right - if you were to take the virus and look at it under an electron microscope, you'd see "Made in Hell" on the bottom.

Soon I shall be forced to find a power drill so I can releive the pressure....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Harumph.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Everyone seems to be talking about a new VM, but my TiFaux taped the Purity Test episode last night. Wha happened?

Oh wait. No it didn't. It didn't tape it at all last night. Can anyone sum it up for me, or point me to a recap?
