No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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.

move out and draw fire

Scientists had long believed that Velociraptors used the curved appendage to disembowel prey...But a robotic model showed that the claw was used in a fatal embrace to hang on to the victims

Clearly scientists need to catch up on their D&D Monster Manual v3.5.

And let me just say that my first thought upon reading that folks at the Uni of Manchester were attacking pig carcasses with a robotic velociraptor limb was "Football season must be over."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Feh. I'm sick.

OTOH, round numbers.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Damn! I need the new DM.

But Balthazar Whozzit is cute enough.

The one who looks kind of like the missing Sheen? From Lost Highway?

Huh. May have to tune in.

Our wings are not tired.

Wake up thread!

This slow moving Wilma has put Floridians lives on hold all week. Very tiresome. It needs to fizzle and die. Cancun and Cozumel must be in very bad shape by now. It's just sitting there.

Just overcast here. I figure to do yard work while the sun is missing.

English Muffin:

I watched seasons 1&2 of Alias straight through over a summer to prepare for the start of season 3. Marathon watching is the way to go. I'm doing that now with s1 of VM and it rocks.

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

Wake up thread!

Some of us have been awake for hours. Well, two hours. Two is more than one! And half eleven is a perfectly reasonable time to get up on a Saturday.

Well I'm dressed, and I figure that's pretty good going for me on a weekend.
