Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I use the Message Center, but I come straight to the home page when I visit the site. Not sure why I've never bookmarked the message center.

I second this!

I second this!

I read the inside cover and started crying with laughter, shamelessly, in front of Emily Flake. I need to bring a copy to work so I can look at it whenever necessary. Which is a lot.

My bookmark is to the message center. I've never used anything else. Maybe because I only subscribe to 5 or 6 threads.

Very wise - next thing you know it will be chasing you around with a knife.

Look at my pretty mask, it raises the dead. Americans.

I use the message center, but I don't have b.org bookmarked. I just scroll down the address bar until I get to it. With Firefox it's always on the bottom.

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

Scarlett Johansson's trip to California theme park Disneyland ended in disaster Friday afternoon, when her Mercedes hit another car as the paparazzi chased her. According to eyewitnesses, the Lost In Translation beauty was driving near the tourist attraction's entrance with two pals, when she swerved to get away from pursuing photographers and hit another vehicle containing a woman and her two young daughters. An onlooker says, "The front of Scarlett's Mercedes damaged the side of the other car pretty badly. Scarlett looked really shaken up and when both cars pulled over in a safe spot, she apologized profusely to the other woman. After that, they spent around 40 minutes on their phones, sorting out all of their insurance and legal paperwork."

From IMDB -- all rough, and seemingly more standard for celebs. And then ...

A Mercedes representative arrived soon afterwards with a new car for the actress to drive home

I still feel bad for her, but damn. Nice roadside service.

Just had one of those irritating conversations -- "So we do X every hour." "So ... every hour on the hour?" "Yes. And each time we do it, we indicate the next time we will do it again -- maybe 90 minutes later." "So you don't mean every hour on the hour?" "No."
