Natter 36: But We Digress...
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.
Timelies all!
Yay! New thread! Although I'm too late to get a double digit post, I can still take comfort that the thread title was my suggestion, originally.
Also, I'll add to the awwwws for Jon's wedding FAQ.
At a time when the United States is tightening its borders, how could a man toting what appeared to be a bloody chain saw be allowed into the country?
Uh... is it just me, or does this seem to be a specious question? They should have called in the police if they believed a crime had occurred (and I'm all on top of why the hell didn't they call the police?). But "let him in"... what, all US-born criminals become effectively Canadian when they commit a crime? They were right to "let him in". It very much seems as though they were wrong to let him go and not inform anyone.
Global warming is not an on-off switch; it is a continuoum of effects. It is not too late to preserve our ability do agriculture outdoors, and you know some of the basic things we need for survival.
Right, yes. I was using the semi-ironic asscaps. Yes, it is entirely feasible to head off doomsday. But it would require the American government and the energy industry to profoundly change the way they do business. Honestly? I don't see it happening. I know that's awful and fatalistic, but I just don't.
ETA: The American government is not the only one that would have to change things, but it is a necessary one, and it's the one I have any kind of familiarity with.
They were right to "let him in".
If his name was Mohammed and he was carrying a spork, they would have just sent him to Saudi Arabia for torture.
US Citizen with bloody chainsaw? No problem!!!
Hey! Stop stealing, and then embellishing, my schtick.
The spork is what makes it funny.
OMG, I just saw possibly the stupidest "eat cereal to lose weight" ad ever. They say "studies suggest" that eating Special K instead of cake and ice cream as an evening snack may help you lose weight. Um, really?? Fewer calories may help you lose weight?? STUNNING.

The email FINALLY got to me. must go read it over and make sure that all is ok.
What if you sprinkle Special K on top of your ice cream? Does it still work?
