If, god forbid, a loved one of mine was murdered, god help me if a BLIND DETECTIVE shows up on my doorstep.
We'll be in our bunk.

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.

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.

I've been looking at that too ita. What I'm thinking of buying, though, is this [link] and maybe a couple of these at a later date when I have a lot more money: [link]

It's only going to stand 24 inches high. I'm pretty sure it's not less stable than the wall bracket my stuff is currently on. I wish it were deep enough to put the TV on, though.
eta: Those are very attractive, Brenda.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Don't Seventh Day Adventists keep kosher?
Sorta. Well, they call it kosher. They skip pork and shellfish (and many are just flat-out vegetarian) but there is not concern about milk and meat.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Whee! I get to go new furniture shopping soon.
