Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Cashmere, I thought the same thing. I hope that doesn't make me a lemming too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

This story made me tear up in a good way.

I'm loving them. Fortunately most of the ones I like are sold, otherwise, it could be dangerous.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I also like that she's saving all the texts, just in case someone pops up who wants to take them and re-bind them.

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

Hey, I *wanted* the penguins to be gay! Is it my fault Silo went off with that SeaWorld homewrecker?

Just wait til they have a couple of chicks and he's providing for a family of four. Silo'll be cruising the park on the downlow.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Having been told by a boss -- in front of the entire division -- that anyone who didn't support the Iraq War was a traitor, I'm not going to call the anti-war side the lemmings.
