My BF is preparing a writing submission to a rather well-known comedy uh, thing.
This is what he's doing with his Philosphy degree? Writing for The Daily Show?
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

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.

I think this works a lot better in theory than in practice, especially with older kids.
Eh, so put away the tv if it upsets you that the kids might watch something without your presence. Seriously. When my brother and I were younger and first started getting home from school before the parents, the tv started living in a closet. It eventually came back out and when we were older, I'm sure mom figured 3s Company reruns were trash, but as long as we had our homework done, she wasn't going to make it an issue any longer.
I really won't make excuses for people who are abdicating parental responsibility because it is an inconvenience and then complaining about the consequence.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I think I've said this before, but my parents took us to see Kentucky Fried Movie and Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex when we were kids.
And I had a tv in my room in high school, with cable access.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My cover letter for my book worked out really well, bon.
It's on my hard drive at home, I can email it to you. I think there's also samples in the Writer's Market.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I vote it should be funny.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh, and frankly, my one-TV thing is mostly about cheapness, I think. I mean, if someone randomly gave me a TV, I'd be happy to have one in my bedroom, but why am I going to spend money on that when I've got a perfectly good TV in the living room?
This is why I don't have an iPod.

Oh I'm definitetly thinking that it's true that different things work for different people.
We had access to all sorts of incredibly violent crap growing up. And the reaction I've had is to sort of dislike most violent stuff, to be cringey about it... watch from the hall about it.
I'm watching the Alias finale and I would like to proclaim that JACK BRISTOW ROCKS MY WORLD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We couldn't get cable when I was a kid, but my dad said that he was glad we couldn't get it, as there were many programs that Jesus wouldn't watch. This was decades before the whole WWJD thing - my dad was ahead of his time.
