Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just looked up Coyote on IMDB. He's 63!! Dude looks ten years younger. I knew he had a full life before he got into the biz, but it turns out he was 39 before he started acting. How cool is that?

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

Do some research, asshole.

Funny how the stairs lead to the puppy's pooper.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Wow, that was offensive. Could he possibly have watched the show even once?

I suck at posting, technically.

Still with the sucking.

"Don' be e-scared"

It's okay if I fisk this, right? If I did the making the text all smaller and quoted wrong, I trust Ita will fix it for me. I'm useless with this stuff. Though not with the fisking.

I might be on slightly safer ground when it comes to surmising the identity of the actress the creator of Fox's The Inside had in his head when he was piecing together the character traits of the winsome blonde with the all-access pass into the mind of the serial killer.

Uh, considering you made two references to "Silence of The Lambs" in the previous, unquoted paragraph, you mean Clarice Starling, right?

The team of writers mentored by Joss Whedon on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and other parts of the Buffyverse have more distinctive voices, higher profiles and more vocal cult followings than any other writers on any other shows. What they also have is a nasty case of Sarah Michelle Gellar damage."

Oh. You mean Buffy. Um. Er. Not so much. Now, Sarah is a blonde. And so is Rachel Nichols. I do not do their hair. I'll admit I thought she had a little Jodi Foster thing going on. Still do. Never did she recall to me Sarah Michele Gellar.

But Rebecca Locke is not Clarice Starling. She's my fictionalized version of Elizabeth Smart.

And Buffy is brilliant. But I have to be honest here -- I've really only seen a handful of Buffys. Sometime I plan to watch them all on DVD. Haven't had time yet. So I'm frankly not all that familiar with it. (Bet ya'll never considered that, didja? But it's the truth.)

Long-time Whedon right-hand man Tim Minear has ventured down the same road for The Inside. Rachel Nichols, the actress playing Rebecca Locke, the investigator who was abducted as a child and, as a result, can see into the abyss and beyond, is another poreless, porcelain blonde striding with perfect posture into a world of darkness and gore and, again, she's no Sarah Michelle Gellar."

She's also not very much like Ethel Merman. In fact, I can think of a few other actresses she's unlike. But admit it -- she does have a little young Jodi Foster thing happening? And a dash of Bridget Fonda.

Tim Minear's vocal cult following are up in arms at Fox's impending cancellation of his series but they ought to have been bemoaning his failure to come up with a more compelling heroine."

Careful, or I'll sick my vocal cult on you. (What's a vocal cult, anyway? Do you all talk like me?)

"Don' be e-scared"

Was that harsh? I went to "X" last night and listened to the Pistols, the Weirdos, Germs and The Bags all the way to Costa Mesa. Could account for the attitude.

(Edited because Allyson said I sounded whiny. I trust her to tell me these things.)

(also edited because Allyson points out it's not my job to do research for this writer who needs to meet Google.)
