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
Meh. If it keeps me off reality teevee, it's a good issue to have.

It's not like it's The Swan, or even that Lord of the Flies like one the kids all like. It sounds more like it would be an event-off.

Oh, hell. They were on at 8:30. Well, then. Didn't see either one. Feh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I saw a documentary about face transplants a while ago. (Possibly gross, thus whitefonted.) Some years ago, a young woman in rural India got her hair caught in some kind of machine that peeled the skin of her face off. Someone carried her for hours on a bicycle, with the face in a bag, to a hospital, which just happened to have an excellent plastic surgeon. They put her face back on, and the flesh and skin and even the hair survived, and she looks normal now, only with some scars. So that made some doctors think that face transplants could work, and could really help people whose faces have been burned away or otherwise disfigured. It's interesting. I'd rather have a face that didn't look much like me than have no face at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Zenkitty, that makes me want to have even less hair than I do now. Just in case.
PSYCHO NUTBARS on the road tonight. Assholes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I read something about this. You won't really look like the other person either... since their face is on your bone structure.

I have watched both, and it's a hard call. HIMYM had a Friends-y charm, and more laughs, but a terrible ending, and KC didn't make me laugh much, but it looks like it has more potential for hilarity. The ending was sadly predictable.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fortunately, with HIMYM, I was spoiled for the ending -- the whole premise is apparently that kind of bait-n-switch. And about half the ep took place in my neighborhood, so that was fun. (F-train, woot!) (Okay, I guess it could also have been Park Slope. Which is close enough.)
