Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Some PBS thing once told me that the original laws against beastiality were because people feared breeding monsters. It didn't mention the size and strength aspect (though I supplse a Man Bunny would be frightening only to Anya)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not to change the subject, but I am going out to Morton's with a client (CBS) and some coworkers today for a fancy-schmancy lunch. This has caused me to wear a dress, and I feel kinda funny.

move out and draw fire

To make ita's mind go screaming back out of the building, I actually saw a film of lesbian bestiality. I'm still wishing I could scrub my brain. Why can't I remember the good things in life?

And on a different topic:

Japanese scientists have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android called Repliee Q1.

Of course it's "female."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What animals, Raq? Also, were there implements?

Why can't I not ask those questions? My god.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

PLEASE DO CHANGE THE SUBJECT, Robin! I am jealous of your fancy lunch, and bet you look fab.

Dammit, I was going to not talk about bestiality anymore, but ita, there's that urban legend about putting tuna up one's snatch.....

Well, Jesse, I discovered some metallic dark orange nail polish I had forgotten I bought this morning so I know at least my toes look stylin'.

Or the story about Led Zeppelin using a shark on a groupie for the same purpose.

Makes Marianne Faithful's Mars bar seem quaint by comparison...
