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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

About 10 minutes ago I nodded off at my desk.

I have coffee now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's stupid football on TV instead of Big Brother. Bah!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"Well, you suck. You couldn't get Allyson a date."

I KNOW!

I canna do another dating service. They all make me sad.

Can't we all just pick on the government, again?

I can only discuss topics I take seriously. And the current gov't? NSM.

I'm going to suggest 'origin narrative'. Just because I like 'narrative'.

I like this one too. Maybe we better have a runoff.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Pfft. The runoff is the poor man's preferential voting.

She called off the date. I was calling her too often.

I fucked up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Gah, I'm sorry Tom. Learning new ways is a bitch. But you still rock for getting through the asking in the first place. And I'm sad she won't know what she's missing out on.
