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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

dang, I missed Rio.

I've never liked "shite" either. It just grates on me.

Me too- my mother and aunt (completely American) would say "shite" and "fook" all the time and it drove/drives me insane. I finally just had to say, "OK, I know you think you're all cute and eccentric sounding, but IT'S STILL SWEARING! Albeit swearing in a very annoying fake accent-y way"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I totally clicked through to that Jude Law picture directly after sitting in a meeting where people were discussing the filtering software in place. Needless to say, I had to wait until I got home to actually see it.

Also, I feel the need to say that some men are growers and some are showers. (show-ers, not like for cleansing.) Also, due to watching all of the 4th season of Oz last weekend, I have greatly added to the number of penises I've seen on screen. Including Luke Perry.

My husband knew a woman who thought those lyrics were "Burned to death!"

Ooh, was it me?!?! Oh wait, I don't actually know Mr. Hernadet. But I do have to concentrate still to hear that right.

ION, I am so full of Indian food I may never eat again. Except for all the leftovers I have in the fridge.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Watching Oz gave DH a complex.

A penile complex?

Yeah. Both a fear of prison and lots of wondering where they found all those well-endowed actors.

Ha! I did have to reconsider my initial assessment of Luke Perry.

So I have new glasses (yay!), but I can't find them on-line! How could they possibly exist if I can't find them on-line?

I know, right?!?!

(Also, I'm now regretting those hypens.)

I really need to go to bed so I can get up for work tomorrow, but I don't wanna!! Either thing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Except "motherflipper" calls up an image of Flipper's mom.

In my head it's some guy running up, doing a swing dance move, and then running away.
