Dude. I was so totally listening to Jackson Browne today in my car. Which, I suppose, doesn't make today all that much different from any other day.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I thought it was a formality.
Any formality that includes spooning gramps is just WRONG.
But it was implied that it was a symbolic formality. Not spooning. Sleeping in the same bed. And? the character left as soon as grandpaw fell asleep.
Heinlein wasn't advocating you sleep with a future husband's grandpaw, he was showing that the social structure of the society in the book had a different take on marrage.
I acknowledge your squick, though. IRL? Squicky. In fiction, not so squicky. At least for me.

Please. Tell me it was Late for the Sky. And even if it wasn't, tell me, anyway.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't think even one day goes by w/o my playing them, oh, three times through, apiece.
"She put me through some changes lord / just like a Waring blender."
Yeah, he hooked up with Hiaasen later in his career.

Oh, no way. Out of all the Zevon songs to quote, David, you would quote my favorite ("Poor Poor Pitiful Me"). I don't know if this makes me sound square (and frankly, I don't care), but you rock.

HA. Yes, in fact, LftS was on there. I have most of the first five albums on my mini iPod. Then I skip ahead to I'm Alive. I kind of pretend he didn't release any music during the 80s.

Well, if you insist.

Okay, caught up: I think "Are You Now" was on one of the nomination ballots, but it didn't win the Hugo. Stars My Destination would be excellent. And it seems like it'd be a lot easier to adapt, but it's been a while since I've read it. The end.
I want to hear it!But that'll spoil the surprise! It's about one of the cut scenes from "Home," and the answer should be "Yes," because I'll be well impressed. Plus, if it's "No," I'll seem crazy.
...Crazier.
Oh, I was copying 10-year-old videotapes of The Maxx to DVD. And occasionally getting distracted by the Aeon Fluxx episodes on the same tape. I miss the days when MTV was deeply weird.

Wha? "Lawyers In Love" is so perfect for Lilah/Lindsey.

I was just talking about Liquid TV the other night. I could not properly replicate Stick Figure Theatre with my hand gestures.
