See? There's that pesky "reliability" problem taken care of right there.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This way you keep them on their toes, Perkins. They'll never know quite what to expect from you.
If I leave in an hour or so, I can be home by the time of my first conference call of the afternoon.
And horizontal. Want to be horizontal.

The bling-bling binky is...interesting. And ita, step away from the creepy little-girl-glamour sites.

My brother has a theory that you are either a Keillor person or a Glass person, and that it is not possible to like both.
What if you love Keillor's voice, to the point where you often express the wish to have him read you a bedtime story and are willing to listen to even the most tedious Lake Wobegon story just for the moment when he gets all hoarse and meaningful ... but think This American Life is worlds more brilliant in terms of writing and content?
My One True NPR host would probably be Glass, with Keillor's voice. Discuss.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
(I just thought I was nimble enough not to get shocked! I was wrong.)
I'm going to have to list "Unfounded Confidence In Ability To Move Faster Than Electricity" next to "Thinks She Can Beat Up A Cheetah" in the evergrowing list of Nutty's Charming Quirks.

Reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor saying the very best part about being married to Richard Burton was that he read stories to her in bed.

Never work. Ira's voice is better suited to his content.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
All of the little suns in my Forecast Fox weather toolbar thingy have been replaced by flaming red thermometers.
Fortunately, I'm going to Canada in 2 days.

I think work should shut down whenever the heat index goes over 100.
Right now work is about the coolest place I could be (well or a movie theater or bar, I guess).
I've got AC in the bedroom, but I don't really want to be stuck in one room of my apartment.

There was a woman who called into a local interview/talk show here and described how her family would sometimes use the TAL Glass candence/style for fun.
I listen to both PHC and TAL. I have to listen more closely to TAL. But really, they serve totally different listening whatevers. PHC is more background. TAL is throw things/laugh/whatever.
