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.

My first trip to the ER was when I fell out of my great-grandfather's car as a kid. I was 4-ish. I'd tried to open the passenger door to get in but couldn't, so I climbed in the drivers side and slid across the seat. Unfortunately, I'd managed to unlatch the door. Combine that with my great grandfather never making me wear my seat belt and oops. Once the car got moving, the door flew open and I fell out into the street. I remember rolling and then seeing my great grandfather's car stopping about 50 feet away. I have no recollection of actually falling out of the car or hitting the ground. I ended up with a huge lump on my forehead and numerous scrapes, but otherwise I was okay. I really don't remember much about the hospital visit other than them giving me a sucker, though.

Second visit I was 7. Jumped off a slide, hit a support beam on the way and snapped my femur in two. Also the only time I've ever ridden in an ambulance (knocks on wood). I don't remember much about the ER since I was pretty high on Nitrous Oxide at that point. Though I do remember yelling at the nurse who was cutting my pants off so they could examine my leg because the pants were brand new and we didn't have much money because my dad had been recently laid off.

Third visit, and only one in my adult life, was when I got my eyebrow split open by a broken practice sword. Bleeding everywhere as head wounds do. That was doubly fun since I work at the hospital and the nurse on duty recognized me. Bad enough trying to explain to a strange medical practicioner that you got your gaping head wound sword fighting, let alone one at your place of employment.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I forgot until I re-watched today a nugget for you Cumming haters: did you catch how he called himself "clever" for using the word enervated to mean excited?

Still cute, though.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

You know what IS universally cute, no matter what one thinks of Bean, Cumming, etc.?

A baby girl sitting on her daddy's lap while he checks his email. Especially when the baby girl is laughing and making all kinds of sounds that sound like they should be English, but aren't quite.

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

Maybe he was being ironic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No, he used the wrong word. I noticed.

But he was still cute. And he used the word "apocryphal" correctly - and with the most amazing roller coaster of Scottish inflections.

Remember the scene w/ Julie at Lindsey's house? OK now remember that Lindsey's house = Buffy's house? Now remember what Julie said when she left and what Lindsey said right after?
