Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

If Nick Cage were more of a geek, he would have named his son Luke.

No, if Nick Cage were cooler and more sly, you mean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those ONTD comments make me think he named himself after Luke Cage, so maybe he's just spreading the love around.

Sophia, Lily used to be Macy's admin asst and she is suffering from that syndrome where despite having a new completely different job, she still finds herself loaded down with parts of her old job.

At least, that is my take on it.

Nice that I don't even know who Luke Cage is, but the boys I saw Serenity with were talking about him.

Does anyone know a way to get a non-responsive program to close, when Task Manager doesn't seem to be doing the trick?

If you can work out the process name, you can end it from the Processes tab of Task Manager. Either that works, or it'll tell you it can't, at which point I restart the machine.

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

Huh. You should be able to kill any app with Task Manager.

What exactly is happening? What version of Windows? Have you looked in both the 'Applications' and the 'Processes' tabs of the Task Manager?

Right on, thanks. Of course that didn't work either, but I'm happy to have one more thing to try.

In fact, Nic Cage could have gone by Nic Coppola (his real name), but he indeed did adopt the "Cage" last name because he was a fan of Luke Cage, Hero for Hire -- and also because that way, most fans/casting agents wouldn't immediately associate him with his famous family.

(FTR, this is practically all the Nic Cage trivia I know.)
