I have a deep and abiding love for Zamfir and his pan flute - for all values of "love" equaling "fantasize about buying and playing for my enemies from some hidden location so they can't turn it off."
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"fantasize about buying and playing for my enemies from some hidden location so they can't turn it off."
Funny, I have the exact same love for Jingle Cats.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I knew that one, Teppy. And not that this frustrated liberal would *think* of planting conservatives in the back yard!! *cough*
It'd never work, anyway, considering I have two dogs.

Silence means security silence means approval
My best friend in the world I haven't heard from. I figure they'll either ride it out or drive up to Tulsa tomorrow.
Hopefully they'll get out. They're NW of the Loop, and while they're on high ground (house didn't flood during Allison), that part of Houston would be in the infamous NE quadrant.

Hmmm....
LOS ANGELES -- A woman is suing ABC's reality show "Extreme Makeover" for unspecified damages, alleging its decision to cancel her appearance contributed to her sister's suicide.
In a lawsuit filed Sept. 9 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Deleese Williams, 30, of Conroe, Texas, claimed the producers subjected her to needless humiliation and goaded her sister, Kellie McGee, into insulting her appearance.
IANAL, but it seems to me this woman would have a hard time proving that her association with the show led to her sister's suicide.

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.
Oh, and he's the scariest-ass driver I've even had the misfortune to ride with.
I have a friend who holds that title for me, though thankfully she's chilled the hell out over the last 7 years. Back in the day I once saw her tailgate someone so closely that they finally pulled off the road to let her by. Later that weekend we spent an hour speeding around Chicago trying to find the train station because even though she stopped for directions 5 times, she would only follow them for about three blocks before she decided "Oh, I know where I'm going now" and went her own way. Before finally reaching the train station we nearly had three accidents, narrowly missed more pedestrians and cyclists than I can count, ran half a dozen red lights, performed 4 U-turns and one O-turn (she tried to pull a U-ey and then realized we were on a one-way street.) I don't think I rode in her car again for 5 years after that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The claim is that the producers encouraged her sister to call her ugly. I haven't reviewed the complaint or anything but it does seem plausible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are they going to have to prove that a reasonable person would have done what the producers asked and then committed suicide? Or was her mental state that apparent?
