Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

If I only had a brain...

I couldn't help but wonder if there are lots of people who are bankrolled by big corporations going on and on about how evil they are.

I did when I worked for the Other Evil Empire; some of my friends who work for the Official Evil Empire do. Then we sigh and say "it's a living" and go do evil, trying to ameliorate it. I have a friend who works for the Bradford Exchange, and boy, does she have a lot to say about the horror of it.

Nowadays I work for the Nice Empire. It's much more fun.

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

The radio call-in contest with the guy who has a mouthfull of PB&J sandwich and no milk to wash it down with.

"AWWYNNNN BUUUUHHH!"

The zenith of Michael Bay's career.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Michael Bay directed that?

"Don' be e-scared"

Hamilton dying in agony after the duel is a fantastic ending! I mean, not so much for him, but for drama.

But it's not just the duel. The story of a bastard from a slave trade infested island dreaming for a war so he might show his stuff, then in a couple of short years he's General Washington's right hand man. (His views on race and slavery were, well, revolutionary for the time. He was not only against the institution, but scoffed that non-whites were in any way genetically inferior)

Hamilton was the prototypical emigrant who came to America to reinvent himself -- and practically invented the idea of America in the process.

Plus, first American sex scandal!

It's got like a million shots in it. Give or take.

So you're going to write the movie, right, Tim? You can call it Ballistic: Burr vs. Hamilton.

You obviously haven't heard about the Pilgrim who was hanged next to his sex partners: 3 sheep, 2 sows, 2 heifers and a cow. [link]

I'm just a sharing kind of gal.

Tim, do I have a dim memory that Burr tried to overthrow the U.S. government? (Well, I do have the memory, but is it right?)
