It could be a Bunnicula inspired reaction, now that I think of it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This result relies in part on a previous paper in which Hsu and Buniy argued that systems which violate a physical principle known as the null energy condition become unstable.
I've always been suspicious of the null energy condition.
ION, I want a shower. Some wanker on the train used up all the water, foiling my shower-before-work plans....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sucks, Tommy. I didn't even know that there were showers on the trains.

I think all the sleeper cars have showers on the bottom level.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
After my 4 day weekend for con-going last week, this weekend felt ridiculously short. I had to lay in bed for about 15 minutes before I could convince myself it really was Monday morning and I needed to get up and go to work.
Saw Episode III yesterday. Thought it was the best of the prequels but still didn't equal any of the original trilogy.

Me too. For some reason I am holding off on deciding what I thought of it. Holding off for what, I don't know.

Saw Episode III yesterday.
Saw it Sat. nite. Quite enjoyable. Sure the dialogue is stilted and cheesy and the jokes seem to be aimed at 10 year olds, but the story actually works for once. And there are even a couple of HSQ scenes that will make you downright uncomfortable. First time in two decades I've left a Star Wars movie without feeling like I'd just wasted two hours of my life.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
the other grandmother was Choctaw
My father and step-mother came to visit a few summers ago, and we went on a tour of several Civil War sites in eastern Oklahoma. People kept asking my step-mother about her ethnicity. The Choctaw asked if she was Cherokee. The Cherokee and Muskokee asked if she was Choctaw. The Anglos asked, "Which tribe are you?" They were all surprised and confused when she described herself as "ABC." Then she had to explain that it means "American born Chinese" -- both her parents emigrated from southern China, and she was born in California.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My voice is gone, probably because of screaming "No!" so much of yesterday.
I took a Suit Training course (like Model muggers, where you get to beat the shit out of an aggressor in a padded suit).
It's different from krav, because it considers verbal self defense, and is less aggressively aggressive.
I'm curious about some stuff, though. Have women here experienced making eye contact as a better preventative measure than not? Does not looking the weird guy in the eye encourage him to come in closer?
For me, making eye contact is like flashing a sign. And it's not like I default to come hither, or anything. Not looking works better.
But their examples of not looking had much more vulnerable body language than I think mine is. I'm probably somewhere around "almost irritated" no matter my mood.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I look guys directly in the eye and nod hello and quickly look away. I feel as if I am saying "I acknowledge you are there. I am not ignoring you. We have had our interaction and now it's done." In all my years in NYC, I found it worked 9 out of 10 times.
