Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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

This has come up here before, I think....

Cable’s digital drive irks basic customers

PHILADELPHIA - LaRonika Thomas got upset when Comcast moved the Sci-Fi channel to its digital service this summer, ensuring she couldn’t continue to watch her favorite show, “Firefly,” without paying $20 more a month.

The Chicago resident received The Golf Channel instead on her basic, analog cable service.

“I don’t watch golf. I would rather have static on than that channel,” said the theater director.

“It’s an awfully big cost,” said Thomas. “I haven’t canceled my service yet, but I may.”

I kinda' wanna tell her, "Just buy the Firefly DVDs."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My office is freezing, and the tapes database is down.

So I can't do any work, and I'm COLD.

Someone should bring me hot chocolate.

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

Colin's series has gotten 13 episodes picked up! Eureka, on the Sci Fi Channel. Luckily I both don't have Comcast and do have digital.

If I only had a brain...

Hooray for Colin! And look who else is in the cast...

Now tagless for your comfort.

Killer dolphins on the loose

So much for "So long. Thanks for all the fish!"

And we haven't even started genetically modifying them yet. I smell a Sci Fi TV movie.

They screwed up the first cyborg-dolphin-junkie by trying to film Johnny Mnemonic. The short story is much, much better. And even details how the Navy "trains" them--just give them heroine and they'll do anything you want.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

I think there is a similar program in place for TV execs, actually.

Drama stars Colin Ferguson ("Coupling""Coupling") as a federal marshal who gets stranded in the small northwestern town of Eureka. He quickly discovers the town is composed of oddball geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research -- a clustering that may inadvertently put their lives at risk.

Huh. I missed all the oddball geniuses when I spent the night in Eureka. I did talk to a bartender, who told me about all the economic problems the city has had since the mine shut down.

This is Eureka, NV, right?

eta: What is "Northwestern"?
