Pluto's only a planet because it was found too soon. Today it would probably be classified as a Kupier Belt object.
I don't care. I used to play checkers with Clyde Tombaugh, and he discovered it, damnit.
He also told really bad puns.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Our reputation for the humane treatment of POWs does matter
I reel that people may need actual "but what about it happening to us?" examples to understand that. How is it not obvious?

I reel that people may need actual "but what about it happening to us?" examples to understand that. How is it not obvious?Yes, but not only that. I want to be humane regardless of whether or not the other guy is. Not a big fan of the become-a-monster so the-monster-doesn't-eat-me strategy.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I mean...look what it did to Cordy.
She got into Stevie Nicks' wardrobe?

OK, the baby is doing his impression of Ash from Aliens and I just got a nosebleed for some reason, so I'm signing off.

So, no longer a brain the size of a walnut?
Not!Brontosaurus still probably only had thoughts at the level of "Ooh, leaf. Ooh, another leaf. Ooh, shiny," but I think the brain size has been upgraded to "size of an apple."

You're kinda far away. He was a nice guy. LOVED to do public education stuff.
Hope the child and nose stop protesting.
OK, so back for his birthday, I got the officemate the Jon Stewart book because the show sounded like it was something he would love. But it was a show I've never seen. He did start watching it, loves it and....tivo'd a bunch and put them on dvd for me. Awwww.

AAA has a wineries map?
I give them money, they need to give me that map.
AAA, at least the California version, has all kinds of cool maps beyond just street maps and I wish they would just let me browse behind the counter and take what I want. They hand them out for free to members anyway. I tend to lean over the counter to try to read the map cubbyhole labels and ask for most of them. Guide series, California Regional series, Recreation series. Fun stuff.
