Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Victorian.

When did that become a nationality? Or is it Victorian in the same way Bride and Prejudice is?

Do they have the same shared heritage of patois?

They may have a patois. They're unlikely to have a shared heritage of Rastafarians, though. Unless I missed something big.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Poor Virgin Islanders, they've got nothing

What are you talking about?

1) they are US - obviously the bestest country ever - God loves the US - listen to W.
2) they are virgins - God loves virgins, not to mention their value on the black market
3) they are islands - islands never cry.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

brenda, I have to say, I'd had the thought too. Them later folks will suck too, worse, they won't know the books or movies I know, so they'll be culturally-illiterate.

But they'll be fucking things up for other people, and therefore not my problem. Which makes all the difference. What do I care if a magazine editor of the future sits on copy that was submitted more than a month previously suddenly sends the first proof and wants all the approvals on text and design from my firm's higher-ups, the president of a major university system, and assorted other poohbahs in the next two hours so that she can get her mag to the printers today. I don't, that's what. They can go to town. My vengeful wrath will be sated on the blood of the current generation - that's just the kind of giving person I am.

Aha! It all makes sense now ...

it’s loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Not to mention the lack of penetration.

I can't even.

That must be it! You know, I had no idea Bob Marley was in Bride and Prejudice. Another reason to see it soon.

They're unlikely to have a shared heritage of Rastafarians, though.

Is this happening because of the Jamaican resorts that use Jammin' (Sandals? Hedonism?) to market sun and sand, so the USVI are coat-tailing along on that?

Has everyone here seen the Industrious Clock? [link]

That site is actually exhausting me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

826 LA update: My friend Di the Snarky Goth (who claims to actually be a Snarky Punk who only plays a Goth in Cat-Stack Guy's Cartoons, but whatever) reports that for the 826 store, they're considering time traveler supplies.

Well, yeah, but that misses the key part of the equation, which is you, or rather, me. It can be the same people for all I care, as long as I don't have to be around to up-put with their shit. I'd be kinda pissed if they all got extended lifespans and I didn't, but only in theory. I'd way want out long long before that kinda clock rolled around.

If I only had a brain...

I am sad and bored. And not working. And so bored.
