I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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.

If I only had a brain...

I just got the SFWA newsletter, and it mentioned that McCaffrey has "turned the Pern franchise over to her son."

Ew.

Trust my rage

(Thanks for the heads-up about the repeat broadcast of that, by the way.)

Thanks from me too.

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

I am very glad to spread the Dempsey-ogling opportunities.

Except to msbelle.

Your fists aren't that wee that they can't hit the shift key, are they?

Still - petite.

I don't type with my fists, fists are for hitting you and for shaking at Dr. Sheppard (he thinks they are adorable).

Official police version of RNC protests is crock of shit

Requires NYT registration, I'm sure.

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

From the article Sean linked:

Paul J. Browne, a police spokesman, said that videotapes often do not show the full sequence of events, and that the public should not rush to criticize officers simply because their recollections of events are not consistent with a single videotape...

...The Police Department maintains that much of the videotape that has surfaced since the convention captured what Mr. Browne called the department's professional handling of the protests and parades. "My guess is that people who saw the police restraint admired it," he said.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

There's a baby whale in the Delaware River near Trenton, NJ. Beluga whale. Seeing a whale with NJ in the background is odd. The people are flocking. I'd flock, but, look, there it is on my TV. The NJ Marine Unit is protecting it from would-be weirdos. It's very far from home but does not seem to be in distress.

Whales??? In rivers??? Whatever next? (whales in lakes -- I know)

I have finally resolved a contradiction. When Michigan says they have the nation's first highway, they either mean "nation's first mile of concrete highway built" or "nation's first "super highway" (Woodward Avenue between Detroit and Pontiac) was an eight-lane divided highway with a 40-foot median."

I don't know what the other states mean that also say it, but I feel better now.
