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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Did it involve raising up the bitches and forgiving them for being hos? Bustin' a cap in Satan's ass?
Ha. I couldn't have avoided laughing at that.
It had all the violence and language of typical gangsta rap, but at random points had a religious redemptive theme. I wasn't quite sure about the overall arc though. It was either someone "saved" from the streets, or someone who had fallen or both.
He was really good with complex rhythms and rhyme structures, but the subject matter just struck me as absurd.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Y'all are alternately horrifying the living fuck out of me and utterly cracking my shit up this morning. I want to COMM the last 200 posts.
Except tommyrot's link to the FOX news article, which I looked at for about 1.3 seconds and then had to back away from before I punched the computer screen.
Go Hug Yourself is a work of twisted genius. I'm saving this for a future tag:
We're not just Satan's minions; we eat his leg shavings, toasted and topped with fresh sweat-butter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, all the Potentials have been training in the Summers' backyard, and just before the Pope dies, he transfers his papal power to all of them....
I read this as "he transfers his PayPal power to all of them...."
Yes, the new Pope will be on eBay.

Yes, the new Pope will be on eBay.
The CyberPope, he doesn't just have a phone line to God, he's got broadband.

I wonder what's on his TiVo. And his iPod.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Heh. March on Washington, DC, to protest the misuse of the phrase "begging the question" -- the march is an April Fool's Day joke, but the misuse is all too real.
I even heard Jon Stewart misuse it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Steph, that mislocution drives Bob craxy!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The trouble is, the "true" meaning of begging the question is totally counterintuitive from the phrase, and very specialized in its application (law and rhetoric, and not even modern writing rhetoric textbooks use it). Whereas, it's logical to assume that "begging the question" means "begging for the question to be asked".
That's one of those mis-uses that is totally predictable and inevitable, and doesn't deserve to be called a mis-use.

Descriptivist dog!
