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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
A manipulated photo of Condi appeared in USA Today - she looked like she was possessed, or about to shoot death-rays out of her eyes. Eventually, USA Today replaced the picture.
Hmmm, bon-bon did relate that story of her refusing to confirm or deny the existence of extraterrestrial life. Maybe she's a goa'uld!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, if JKR wrote a Felch Cracksbottom, the allegations of homosexuality in her books suddenly have a lot more weight.
Status call ending. I think I only had to pay attention once. Nap now.

Five things that tell me I've spent too much time in Simonverse fandom lately
5. When somebody quotes Jayne about being in his bunk and I think "Thanks for the TMI, there. I know...everyone's having it off but me."
4.It's too easy to type "motherfucker".
3. My mother won't watch L&O with me because I start telling her about the actual process of obtaining a search warrant, at great length."Of course they would never get it that fast..."
2. I could find trouble in Baltimore more easily than my own home town.
1. I start wondering how close this season of my life is to the end of season musical montage.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
The teacher I assisted last year just came by and brought my recommendation letter... which is maybe the nicest thing anyone's ever written about me. I stand out "for [my] willingness to not only bring [my] talents to the table but also [my] desire to constanly improve the teaching team, the learning class, and the dynamics between the two." He recommends me with his "highest accolades".
I told him he could just write a paragraph saying what I did! I think I may sniffle a little.

I just had a near miss. As I was coming up the walk, this beautiful little tortie came up and demanded I pet her. So I did. And she didn't want me to leave. She climbed into my lap. And I worry, especially about really friendly outdoor cats in the city. She seemed to be nursing, so I didn't dare bring her in. And then she wouldn't come in the stairwell. But she sat outside the door for a long while. Ahrg. I'm going to keep an eye out for her. A really nice cat.
Curse the sucker sign on my forehead and my soft heart.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tired, as usual.(I will be glad when G is done with the twice-weekly meetings that require him to get up at 6)
