I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Oh, in other domestic news, how do you clean one of those anti-lint glove thingy-doos? I can't get the lint off without getting it on to something else.

I have a brush rather than a glove and I just hold the thing over a gargage can and rub my hand over it perpendicular to the direction you remove lint in and it all comes off. I have no idea how similar the glove thingies are.

At my last company, I flew to Dallas and removed a small rodent from inside a dell computer that was jamming a blower fan. The property manager reported it to me as a pink "wire" hanging from the fan, it was in fact the rat's tail.

Ick. I have thankfully not had the displeasure of removing anything currently or formerly living from the inside of a computer and hope that I never have to do so.

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

I think Canadians in particularly have a free pass to criticize the U.S. because, for good or bad, our fates are necessarily entertwined.

You may be discounting the degree to which entire countries can live or die by the actions of the US, countries which have far less leverage (being third world) than Canada may have.

i should rep him.

Where's that fan site, huh?

I don't think the Democrats have much of a message lately on how they are going to make your life better. The Republicans are going to lower your taxes, keep icky gay people from getting married, perserve your right to have a gun, and protect life.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Coming late to the discussion because of an abortive attempt to do actual work

See, that right there is your problem.

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

Where's that fan site, huh?

Help me dig up pics, yo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a brush rather than a glove and I just hold the thing over a gargage can and rub my hand over it perpendicular to the direction you remove lint in and it all comes off. I have no idea how similar the glove thingies are.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I just keep screwing up and putting the lint back on the thing I just got it off of. Will try my hand next.

I can't even.

And you can talk shit, it's not like my bristle is some magic spell to stop you.

And it won't, no fear. Like I can shut my yapper when I want to, never mind when anyone else wants me too. [insert smiley] I have bristle points too. I try not to react to them. Doesn't help.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"Bush: 'I don't see how you can be president without a relationship with the Lord'..."

Hee. i suppose my dad will run for Prez.

He has a relationship with the Lord, and basically, he'd like to kick His Holy Ass.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

You may be discounting the degree to which entire countries can live or die by the actions of the US, countries which have far less leverage (being third world) than Canada may have.

ita has a good point. I don't think I bristle much at foreign criticisms of U.S. government policy, and I always enjoy a good Bush-bashing. I am a little testy which people from other countries who start sentences with "Americans are just too....(selfish, impatient, ignorant, provincial, etc.)" There are very few statements that cover all Americans. For that matter, I get testy with Southerners who make blanket statements about New Yorkers, when I have probably been helped by more nice strangers in New York than any other city.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Shrift, I think the fact that you've been working 24/7 since Clinton was in office is the reason you have a backache.

Upon reflection, I realized that, hey, I've been working 10-12 hour days non-stop for... the last six months.

Huh.

Despite the pile of work on my desk, this is inspiring me to leave as soon I possibly can. I will go buy comics and beer. And then I will sit on my ass an watch pretty, scantily-clad people for a couple of hours.
