If, god forbid, a loved one of mine was murdered, god help me if a BLIND DETECTIVE shows up on my doorstep.

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

When does the blind detective show start? I like Ron Eldard a lot, but I don't know if I like him enough to get over the whole concept of the show.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
god help me if a BLIND DETECTIVE shows up on my doorstep.
Well, first, I would put my coat tree in the hallway for him to trip over. After that? I'd Google my city by-laws and ask him if total blindness fell into the color-blindness exclusion standard for law enforcement.
Whereas, if Ron Edlard showed up on my doorstep, I'd invite him to take the dark glasses off, and possibly to fetch me some smores pop tarts.

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
It'd be awesome if the next procedural stars those twins joined at the head were the detectives. I would so watch that. I would be queen of that fandom.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Okay Fred Pete, if she freaked out about a blind detective, she'd totally wig over a DEAD ONE!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wired has an essay about clueless media sites that continue to have popup adds despite the fact that they are so hated. And if you go to the link you'll find that Wired hits you with a popup.
Correction:1 A stream of reader e-mail has come in, pointing out the irony of a columnist (that's me) criticizing media sites for deploying pop-up ads, only to have his publisher (Wired News) serve up one (for Blockbuster) on this very same column. I hadn't encountered one on Wired.com in the eight months I've been writing this weekly media column, and my editor had assured me the site hadn't used them since even before then.
I'd now like to add Wired News to the list of clueless media sites that rely on pop-up ads for additional revenue but who, judging by the reader reaction, may instead be alienating its audience. The "money side" of the house is investigating the matter.
My apologies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love this furniture idea. I think I need to buy that.
