Any beagle lovers want a pair? We have wild beagles nesting behind the garbage dumpster at my apartment building, and the super is trying to get them used to people so he can get them to a vet for shots and whatnot.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The super asked me if I wanted them. I cheerfully smiled, shook my head, and kept silent about the fact that their constant barking made the image of a water dish filled with Prestone bubble up from my subconscious.

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
We have wild beagles
!!!!!!
There's sucha thing as wild beagles?
My brother brought home the tiniest Rottweiller puppy he found out in the woods, once. He was hungry and flea infested, so we cared for him for the day and called the cops (since animal control wasnt picking up the phone) to ask if anyone reported the wee guy missing.
Cutest little guy. Anywho, one of the cops came right away, fell in love with him, and brought him home to be the family dog.
He called two months later to say that the dog had some severe health problems, and was probably left in the woods to die. They cared for him til he had to be put down, so at least his short life was a loved one.
People verily suck. And alternately, verily rock.

We have wild beagles nestingDear me. I have never read a funnier phrase in my life.
Tim, you should totally adopt them, but make it a big celebrity-with-heart-of-gold risks-life-saving-wild-beagles deal in the press, and plug The Inside, while you're at it.

Can we have cake afterwards?

Yes. And we should have a live band. And champagne.
What kind of cake do you want, Allyson? I assume you don't want that raisins-masquerading-as-chocolate "cake" ita made.

It's kind of funny, except how it's not. The super's efforts to get them used to people don't seem to be making them any friendlier, so they're now brave enough to come up to the apartment entrances and defend "their" territory from the trespassers that just live here. The littler one has graduated to making little bitey lunges at people's legs tonight.
At this point, I kinda doubt they can be domesticated. Mike's going to have a tough time finding anyone willing to put up with them.

I don't normally watch cop shows, I don't watch much horror, except for certain kinds, which generally means they have to end with some sort of hope, even if the whoever-survivor may be is fooling him or herself, because...that's what we do. We pretend this world isn't a great big old ball of pain, and that's how we can have more children, and eat ice cream, and go to the park on Sunday afternoons. I like my horror with a dash of fun, Shaun of the Dead rather than The Ring.
I am Deena. Also this reminds me of a discussion the BF and I were having about zombie movies vs. vampire movies. (I loooove vampire movies but hate and fear zombies, and he is all Team Zombies and is indifferent to vamps.) Vampire movies are usually end hopefully - the vamp is staked, order reigns again, a more Manichean view of the universe - while Zombie movies are existentialist - everything sucks and eventually everyone will be a zombie. Also with Vamps there is an element of choice and rational thought - you could choose to not become one, or if you were one you could refuse to take human life (c.f. Angel) or take your own life (c.f. Louis in Interview) - whereas with zombies it's just like a horrible epidemic where there is no romance, no epic battle over your soul, just 'oops, you got bit, now you're one of us' and you become a mindless inhuman thing. ETA the two things that scare the shit out of me about zombie movies is 1) your friends don't know you and 2) there's no hope. (Shaun of the Dead being one of the few exceptions.)
And, since I wiffed on The Untouchables, let me replace it with The 4400. At least, I Peter Coyote was an FBI guy in that one.
I've been watching the 4400 and finding it quite enjoyable. I have no idea why - it's formulaic and silly, but there's just enough eye candy and not totally laughable premises that I forgive a lot - ironically more than I would for a better show.
She just loses me in that final paragraph, where she seems to be saying that shoutouts=an attempt to stick it to Fox execs. I don't see the basis for making that connection; in my mind, shoutouts=giving fans (and/or friends) a happy.
I don't think that's what she's saying - it's more like making shows more obscure for the sake of the fans makes it harder for the execs to make $, so the creators get their jollies twice. It's not A=C, it's A=B=C (intransitive property).
My shout outs are more along the lines of casting, anyway.
My favorite kind.
Kiss-ass.
