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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Holy crap. There is a show ( The Job ) that is on DVD that I have never heard of, and when I google, I get only bogus job offers for the first few pages.

There is a picture of my face next to "clueless" in your dictionary.

Sort of the beta version of Rescue Me. Critics loved it, ABC kept jerking the time slot around, and it died young.

Rescue Me. Here is another show I quit this season.

It makes me want to drink.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It makes me want to drink.

The wind blowing across your earlobes makes you want to drink. Looking at your kites makes you want to drink. Thinking about monkeys? Drinky.

Posts from DavidS make me thirsty.

DavidS and Plei have convinced me that alcohol is the one true way. Any lacuna in my logic are Hec's fault.

Dude, I am afraid to go sleep because I have been having these dreams.

DavidS (Hec), and Plei have nothing to do with it.

So you say. Perhaps a warm toddy to put your brain at ease and slip into slumber.

Slumber is freaking me out, at the moment. I would do a warm toddy, but it would freak me out even farther.

I would be be an ordinary person. I really would.

Hey, I dumped two bottles of wine down the drain tonight.

Okay, one was an alcohol-free rose from before Lily was born, and the other was an okay red we'd managed half of before it went off. (As an observation, in our carefree childless days, we'd have finished the bottle in one night, two at most. In a week, we managed to go through slightly less than half of this bottle and that was with effort. It's the not going back for seconds that stretches the thing out.)

But still. I should not be blamed for tempting people to the dark side of drink.
