I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

Like "what fictional character did you most want to be?" or "what is the first movie you remember watching?" or "where would you like to spend your next vacation, real or fictional place?" or "who will portray you in a movie about your life and why?". Only, you know, better.

Superman, Superman, I think Vegas, and I'm gonna go with Kevin Spacey because I like to think I'm complicated.

The community's founder was murdered yesterday during a prayer service. Awful.

That is awful. He sounds like an amazing person. I'd never heard of his community before.

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

The ad for HBO's new show Rome, complete with slashing weapons, may not have been the best choice for that particular article.

I got one about big pharma. They may have let randomness take over.

I guess it would be tough to pull one out of rotation then. Hopefully when V for Vendetta starts advertising it won't coincide with an article about the London bombings.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

This is uplifting! An excellent typo.

Personally, I block toads by putting things like screen doors in their way. No point in letting toads into the house.

(I have been following the whole settlement-leaving thing only vaguely, front page photos in the news, etc. Quite a few images of one-on-one argumentation, many angry and/or crying, but none showcasing anything violent, unless you count the hand-gestures of vehement argument.)

Here is a fun one: what are you having/did you have for lunch? What is your ideal workday lunch? (i.e. no cheating and saying "three martinis" unless you've ever really gotten away with that.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

i.e. no cheating and saying "three martinis" unless you've ever really gotten away with that.

When I was a kid, there were all these movies and TV shows depicting business men who had minibars in their offices. Now that I'm grown up I feel deprived....

what are you having/did you have for lunch?

Homemade soup. Beef, cauliflower, asparagus, and oyster mushrooms. I keep adding mushrooms to soup and then remembering at lunch time that I don't care for mushrooms in soup. Gotta work on that. Otherwise it's good. I also had some yogurt.

What is your ideal workday lunch?
A local restaurant makes a terrific green salad with warm, grilled chicken and full-fat blue cheese dressing (with many chunks of blue cheese). It's huge and keeps me full all afternoon, which is more that I can say about most salads, without inducing post-lunch coma.

Or sushi. But the nearest really good sushi place is too far for convenience, and the above restaurant is less than 10 minutes away.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I had a container of Yoplait key lime pie yogurt for lunch. I don't really have an ideal workday lunch, although if there was a Popeye's closer to me, I might.

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

I'll be having curried snapper and Thai rice noodles for lunch, with some Dannon La Creme and an organic apple of some sort for afters.

What I really like to have for work lunch is sushi -- not lunch special sushi, eaten on your own, but eight-people-out-for-lunch sushi, so you can mix it up and have lots of different stuff.

That's horrible.
