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

I thought of you immediately. (Less for the making a boy cry, actually, and more for the 10-year-old girl KICKING ASS.)

Feel free to think of me on both points, though.

Go her! That's just so cool. It's lovely when people can find things they like, that they're good at, that run counter to stereotypes SO DAMNED EARLY. She's got forever ahead of her.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Anne, I keep misreading your tag as: Can't sleep. Fandom will eat me.

That would also be a good tag.

I have had a lazy day.

Also, it has not stopped snowing even once today.

MacNeil of MacNeil Lehrer

You know what is funny? Whenever I talk about that show, I call it "MacNeil Lehrer" despite the fact MacNeil has been off that show for like a decade. And nobody I talk to ever corrects me. It is like we all collectively wish Robin MacNeil back on the show.

(I think their backdrop still says MacNeil/Lehrer on it, but they are public television so cannot afford new sets. Actually, come to think, the real reason the old name persists may be how many people never knew which white guy was MacNeil and which was Lehrer.)

Am I skimming too much, or has no one mentioned William Shatner yet?

I can't even.

There's a prize for the first SHATNER! mention ...

What is even happening?

ita, my Intermediate!Boss has a 10-year-old daughter who takes karate, and is apparently very good at it. She passed her blue belt test yesterday, which included, among other things, doing 20 knuckle push-ups, and rounds of sparring. Her last sparring partner was a boy who she made cry in the middle of the bout.

This made my allergies act up. I think, as the mother not only of a daughter, but two sons as well, that's probably wrong. But still...

Trust my rage

-t, had you only told us in Bitches? I didn't realize you weren't out.

Crap, did I spill the beans? If I did, I'm sorry.

Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Lorne Michaels, Graham Greene, Lorne Greene. It's like a Six Degrees game with a big chunk of media/Hollywood.
