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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just be glad my headache finally eased up, or it would have been Natter 40: Pass the Spork and Kill Me Now.

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

I have a headache now. But hopefully it's just garden variety, and I'm going to gift it with Aleve and then go abed.

If this thread is the Nice One do we have to mind our P's & Q's , plus stay away from topics that make msbelle blush?

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

Joe did well at first. But just as the cat had predicted, Joe's flaw was her undoing - after an hour of play, Joe started believing that the pawns were in fact prawns (a peculiar side-effect of Joe's grasp of English leaking into her visual cortex) and began to eat them. Joe was disqualified, and came home in shame.

I think the robot cheated. and the kitty bribed him. Kitty's are cute and wonderful, but most of them are evil.

Ido not know if penguins are evil or if ,like humans, there are just some that are evil masterminds
