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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Penis piercings killed the thread!

In less gruesome news, what is wrong with this sentence?

Martinez, who seldomly reported on time with the Red Sox, surprised the team by showing up yesterday for spring training.

I find the English language wonderfully variable, even moreso when mangled by Associated Press reporters.

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 once watched a documentary about a female-to-male transexual, and the operation she received to give her a penis. Not everything went according to plan....

Which is probably why none of today's penis talk has squicked me yet.

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

seldomly? Oy.

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

Encyclopedia says that "larger shrimp are often sold as prawns" -- which was my understanding, and that prawns are certain crustaceans of the suborder shrimp. So every prawn is a shrimp, by their estimation, but not just any shrimp can be a prawn.

So where do crawdads fit in this lineup?

I think of crawdads as freshwater.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I can't believe nobody saw me on TV last night! I was sitting right behind the cast during the party, and so every time CBS did a "Live, with the winners, after the show!" promo, I was in the shot.

For real, man! Not that I watch TAR, but how can you miss someone with blue hair?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Neither shrimp nor prawn. Crayfish fun facts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For real, man! Not that I watch TAR, but how can you miss someone with blue hair?

It was too dark to see my hair, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately -- when Jonathan and Victoria showed up, I was suddenly struck with the horrifying thought that he might interpret my hair color as a gesture of solidarity with him, and, um, no. He can blame the editing all he wants, but he was being such a jackass the entire party that I just wanted to kick him in the head. Which I totally could have done, since he was sitting on the floor right in front of me.)

Up with the sun

every time CBS did a "Live, with the winners, after the show!" promo, I was in the shot.

Jessica, was that national, or was it the local affiliate? Because we didn't get those spots in D.C. -- we got a promo for Gus talking about the race on our local news instead.

he was being such a jackass the entire party that I just wanted to kick him in the head.

Surprise, surprise.
