JZ, you should meet my grandmother. She hates pants, too, but somehow has recently been convinced to buy and wear them sometimes. Of course she hates them while she wears them, and bitches non-stop. DUDE! NO ONE MADE YOU WEAR THEM! Especially not the second time!! (She mostly hates them for going to the bathroom, since she wears a crazy one-piece girdle/underwear/garter thing that snaps at the crotch)
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Then you just have to kick at the day harder. Defend and counterattack simultaneously.
I thought it was "kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight." Leading me to think that kicking the daylight may be futile.
There is the Latin "seize the day," suggesting that the correct action may be to grab the day by the testicles and pulling. However, the day may be female, so this may not work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tired, and my neck/back still hurts.(that's part of why I'm tired. Difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep in). If I didn't have to go pick up wedding albums/photos, I'd put Ben-Gay on my neck...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I do not think this phrase means what he think it means:
DEAN: Well, certainly the president can claim executive privilege. But in the this case, I think with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, you can't play, you know, hide the salami, or whatever it's called. He's got to go out there and say something about this woman who's going to a 20 or 30-year appointment, a 20 or 30-year appointment to influence America. We deserve to know something about her.

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

I just said that same thing, at the same time, on AIM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wayne Manor can't burn down...
Oh. Never mind.

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

So, I have this conversation about once a month at work:
Boss: I don't understand RSS.
Me: Well, (attempt at another metaphor/comparison/explanation).
Boss: I don't get it. I'm not saying it's useless, but I am saying it's useless.
Meanwhile, I've been working on another project for a research center. They needed a way to work on collaborative documents with 20-30 people but not have to worry about versions forking and with check-in check-out. After pounding my head against the wall trying to find an open-source versioning software setup for, er, the tech-disinclined, I was out of ideas. That is, until I read my RSS feeds Monday morning, and here's Jeffrey Zeldman talking about Writeboard. Writeboard allows multiple users to collaborate on text documents without any forking or people running each other over. And it's free. Problem solved... by an RSS feed!
RSS useless? Hell no.
