Trudy, it's possible you just went to the wrong website. It may not have been anything you actually did. Plead ignorance. Go on the defensive. Ask them why they don't have security software to prevent such things.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
we spotted gay porn superstar Michael Lucas at brunch.
So, was he wearing a t-shirt that said, "I am a gay porn superstar," or are you very conversant in gay porn?
I ask because the only porn stars whose faces I can recognize are the ones who have had E! True Hollywood Specials, and even so, I've forgotten their names.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, totally just say "this just showed up! I don't know what happened!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
At least Salon is acknowledging that the whole waiting-for-indictments thing is getting a bit silly:
Salon's Michael Scherer has just checked in again from the federal courthouse in Washington. He says that the grand jurors in the Valerie Plame case began filing out a short while ago, but it's not clear whether they're going for the day or just for lunch. What does it all mean? What will they order? We've all heard the line about how a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Are there clues to be found in the trash at Au Bon Pain?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
So, was he wearing a t-shirt that said, "I am a gay porn superstar," or are you very conversant in gay porn?
I admit it. I know who Lucas is, but it was our houseguest who spotted him.

OK, I need hivemind help in killing off a character in a novel:
What are some believable ways a skilled rider could be killed instantly when thrown from a horse? I'd prefer to avoid the horse refusing or falling at a jump if possible because I'm not sure it's realistic for the circumstances--a cavalry troop out on patrol in countryside that wouldn't really have a lot of fences, though it would be rocky and uneven.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Could the horse stumble and throw off the rider? Step in a hole?

Definitely an option--I just wasn't sure it was a believable death for a cavalry officer who'd been riding all his life.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A sudden unexpected noise--a gunshot. a branch snapping or a small animal darting across the path--can make a horse shy.
