My favorite thing about the Puppy Channel is the theme song.
"Puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies PUPPIES!"
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
. I think it is funny that I could buy it if I wanted to .
Maybe puppies would enjoy watching it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can totally imagine small children wanting to watch it repeatedly

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Susan decides to test the awesome brainpower of the hivemind, because she doesn't even know where to begin Googling this one
Long ago I read a book set in my era (i.e. roughly 1800-1820) where a husband didn't believe his wife was a virgin on her wedding night because she didn't bleed, but was eventually convinced by a Learned Medical Type that sometimes it happens that way and he really ought to believe her protestations of innocence.
I'd like to borrow that plot device and twist it to my own nefarious ends for maximum torture of certain of my characters. But it occurs to me that I shouldn't trust the research of an author whose name I've long forgotten from a half-remembered book I read sometime in the late 80's.
So, does that sound right? Was there still enough expectation that virgins were supposed to bleed that a man would question his bride's chastity if she failed to? And if so, would the woman (who by this time is wondering if somehow she was raped at some point but was so traumatized by the experience she developed amnesia) be able to find some doctor or book that would justify her to herself, even if her husband refused to believe her?
Googling is pretty useless for this one, no? If none of y'all know, I'm going to have to throw myself on the mercy of the Seattle Public Library research librarians, who probably already think I'm half mad.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It was a very common belief, Susan. You can get quite a bit of information by Googling "intact hymen virginity."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Timelies!
I think one of my favorite Puppy Bowl parts was when the ref went into the stadium on his needs, tweeted a non-puppy-trauma-inducing whistle and called a puppy penalty... paper towels at the ready to clean up the 'incident'.

How much do I love that we had a puppy bowl watch-n-post! I was at amyth's anti-super bowl party where Eve and Lulu proved that yes, affectionate toddler and patient doggie are super adorable. And I got to watch Calli's reaction on learning about Sharpe's Rifles, starring Sean Bean and featuring AD in "tight, Napoleanic-era uniforms."

What is even happening?
And I got to watch Calli's reaction on learning about Sharpe's Rifles, starring Sean Bean and featuring AD in "tight, Napoleanic-era uniforms."How difficult for you, flea. The things we suffer to be in the company of our friends.
Wow, I can't remember the last time there wasn't a post in Natter between 10:40 pm and 4:41 am. Did SoCal fall off the continent? Did Nilly's paper eat her alive? Were Theo and DX abducted by rowdy Pats fans?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Not abducted. Got tuckered out watching puppies, and went to sleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd been meaning for a long while to come in here and ask a question I didn't know how to google the answer for. So I typed it all out, reread it ... and then picked three words from the paragraph, googled, and found precisely the product I'd been looking for.
I love the web.
Still -- it reminded me that there was a question I don't think I can google, that I've been meaning to ask, but I only remember it on my way to the car. With no 'net connection.
When one is looking to make sure there's not a guy hiding under their car -- what sort of attack is the guy going to launch? It seems a very disadvantaged position, and one that's slow to get out from. Or are you maybe looking to see if he's on the other side of the car?
