Didn't he used to do musicals?
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I stayed up late enough that I'm hungry. Damn.

I may be awake, too. But fucking is highly unlikely.

Yeah, no fucking here either.
If I get the energy to leave the house there might be a taco, but no fucking.

Spiner was in the original Broadway cast of Sunday in the Park with George, along with Charles Kimbrough (Murphy Brown's co-anchor on that sitcom).
I always remember Spiner as Bob Wheeler on Night Court.
Speaking of 1776, I wish I had seen the concert version done locally a few years back with gender-neutral casting. They had a female John Adams and, IIRC, a male Abigail!

Timelies!
Chumley the cat had a little adventure last night. Somehow stuck his head through the handle of a plastic bag, then ran around the house -- including both into my bedroom and my roommate's -- crashing into things before he was corraled and de-bagged. At 4 AM. He is currrently resting, seemingly unchastened.
The entry rug, which sometimes he skids onto when he makes the tight turn onto the stairs, was rucked all the way up, which leads me to believe he did a perfect cartoon cat move of trying to run fast on the rug while not making any progress whatsoever....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you found any differences between the sexes in terms of competitiveness? I'm wondering if there's any sort of GI Janeness amongst women to be better, stronger faster in terms of competing with men.
The men that are competitive are more competitive than all the women. But in the medium-high ranks, the women are much more serious than the men. Some of the guys are still arsing around at the blue/brown belt stage. The women, of who there are damned few, aren't at this point. They get hard core. But really, not that competitive.
The guys are big and strong and fast. It's possible for the women to be better, but not bigger or stronger, and we're not as often faster as we'd like. But attitude can weigh in a lot here.
I am, I've been learning, scarier than I could have imagined, and I get the pause of respect before sparring from guys as well as women. It comes down to technique, eye, and willingness to take a hit and keep moving forward. Heart.
That's not divided up by gender, and in the end, can win you the fight.
