Buffistas

Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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.

Bollywood 24 -- I want to see the part where Jack takes a break midshow to burst into a musical interlude.

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

We should start doing this with Canada.

Man, if only they'd constrain all their conflict to that level.

Notes from today: peanut butter, good. people, annoying. people I work with, really damned annoying. IT department, idiots. me, busy.

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

We should start doing this with Canada.

Good luck trying to get them to act extraordinarily proud (without hockey involved).

Good luck trying to get your side stopping at a thumbs down.

Allyson, I came very close to spitting banana all over my monitor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm actually reclaiming "Jessie's Girl," Cindy, but thanks.

ION, I RULE. I just got an awesome pair of $8 jeans and a perfect orange sweater for $2.35. Also a delish cuban sandwich for lunch. I need to do more thrift store shopping, even though that's not where I got the sandwich.
