I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

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

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.
Timelies,
Just skipped 3,000 posts. Ugh. Between my being out of town and Comcast's craptastic service, my internet time has been limited lately. (They apparently broke my cable TV when they fixed my internet, as I had interferance on my local channels. Then, when they fixed the TV on Friday, they broke my internet again. I called to tell them, and after getting a half-hour lecture about why I should have two separate lines for my TV and my internet instead of a splitter [nevermind the fact that THEY installed it that way] I was told the ticket for fixing my TV was still open and they couldn't open a new ticket until that one was closed. I had to go out of town so I said "Screw it, I'll deal with it on Monday." Came home Sunday night to find the internet still down. Bought a signal booster yesterday to see if that would fix things because after 3 service calls my stuff is still broken so they obviously don't know what the hell they're doing. The booster seemed to fix it, but my internet was down again when I woke up this morning so it looks like I have to try to get their incompetent asses out here to give it another go.)
So, um, hi.

Indian version of 24
Now THAT I have to see.
I suppose if the American version can pretend that there's no traffic in LA, the Indian version can pretend there's no traffic in Bombay either.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A friend's cousin works in Bollywood, and is involved with the Indian version of 24, which is apparently working out to be the most expensive teevee show in Indian history. Hee. He also said that they aren't even trying to be original, and are just transposing everything (plot, characters, etc) right on over.
Now I want our version to have musical numbers.

Not surprisingly, FOX sued over the Bollywood 24. [link] I wonder how that's working out. Will have to wait until my friend gets back from her visit.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I saw the oddest thing last night about he punjab on the Travel Channel. At a gate on the border between India and Pakistan there is a nightly ritual of flag lowering that draws crowds of thousands on either side. Every evening at dusk the soldiers on either side of the gate take part in a highly stylized show of contempt for the other side while the crowds yell "Pakistan" or "all hail mother India." The soldiers exaggeratedly rush at each other (just stopping at the border) goose-stepping and stomping. The ritual display culminates in the highest expression of contempt they muster: an extraordinarily proud thumbs-down.
