I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I was shown the buff Carrot Top pictures three times yesterday. Makes me think of Ronald McDonald joining the Marines.

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

What happened with Brigitte and Flav? Wasn't she married to this guy the whole time, or something?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I swear to you that I heard Jilli squeeeeeeee just now, across 3 time zones.

BWAH! I was just about to post that I could hear her whimper down here in San Francisco, but I concede that three time zones is much more impressive. And still totally true.

Though I am still of the opinion that Tep needs to scootch herself over a timezone or two, or three. Pacific Standard is very liveable.

I swear to you that I heard Jilli squeeeeeeee just now, across 3 time zones.

So that's what that sound was.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Couldn't see the picture, but Brigette had a fiance the whole time the show was on, some Italian boytoy who Flav actually met. But that didn't stop them from getting freaky-deaky in several different area codes.

Listen, do you hear? -- That is the sound of ultimate delight. My heart made that sound when I saw Batman Begins. The Gothic Miss Manners makes it now.

What is even happening?

So, no one should be beating a deceased horse, then?

Ha! I'd ask you to expound, but I'm afraid you would, and then that someone else would try to best you. Anyhow, if we take the most common, metaphorical meaning of that phrase, there'd be no internet.

But Rick Astley cornered the market on butch voices.

Oh, yeah. Finally seeing his face, and having him look completely different than I'd imagined was a huge shocker. I felt something similar, although lesser, when I first saw Mariah Carey on TV.

Wait -- so Rick Astley's voice is macho? I guess I saw him about when I heard him, and, well, his voice is older than his face was, but I never thought of it as that manly.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

You can use me to make and receive calls with Bluetooth 1.1 compatible mobile phones. I have no wires. I work within a 10 meter radius of your phone so you can leave your mobile in your pocket or a bag. You turn me on/off, receive calls, make calls and pair me with other devices by pressing in the small of my back.

I am compatible with almost all Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, including Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Phillips, Samsung, Siemens, Cello, LG, NEC, Mitsubishi, and Sharp. You can use voice dialing through me if your phone supports it. So for example you could set your home number up to be called when you say 'Enterprise' and your boss when you say 'Captain Kirk'.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

OTOH, let's face it, he also had a very butch appearance compared to -- well, really, just about any member of any hair band.

I still fondly remember a hilarious comedian's riff on Rick Astley about the sound/look dichotomy. The comic took the melody of "Never Gonna Give You Up" and sang:

Haven't reached puberty
Everybody makes fun of me
Deep black voice in the body of Howdy Doody!
