Last year at DragonCon, Adam Baldwin donated all of the proceeds from his autograph signing fees to the hurricane relief effort. When I went up to thank him and ended up in tears, he held my hand and was very kind to me. (As was Tricia Helfer, who came around from behind her table to hug me.)

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Is he truly wingnutty, or simply conservative? I don't typically pay attention to show business people's political views, unless they're using their fame as a bully pulpit.

I've told that story like twenty times in this thread, haven't I? Sorry. I lose track.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I didn't remember it (which doesn't rule out your telling it in the past, because my mind wishes it were a sieve, these days), so I'm glad you told it now, Dana.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
AB is politically nutty, but no more nutty than a lot of actors I know. I know actors who go to iridologists or who think they were royalty in a past life and their cat was their consort or that every disease has an emotional cause--I was told my mom's breast cancer was caused by sorrow because the breast is near the heart, for example.

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

This is why I try hard to avoid knowledge of such things. The meta destroys enjoyment for me. I can't even look at a picture of Streisand without thinking, "SHUT. UP."
