C'mon, it's 24. Crack out a projection screen and high volume stereo system with Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich playing during their shooting hours.
Heh. And maybe play a little Lyle Lovett between screenings.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

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.

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, if Howard Gordon is down there tell him I said hello and I keep meaning to send a sympathy card for having to deal with cranky Fury.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I could do a slide show of Haze and Phin.

So on the bus, a guy dropped his (apparently full) Big Gulp.
What exactly is the point of those things, anyway? Buy a damn 2-liter, folks. The cup is a disaster waiting to happen. He was sitting midbus, and Coke rolled forward all the way up to the driver and started dripping down the stairs.

Swouncing
Skipping, ignoring ongoing conversations, in need of hivemind help:
Is "Cyclops" in singular or plural form?
(My brother is translating something, the opinions regarding the one/many are not conclusive, and he needs to know. So he sent me an e-mail: "Ask your buddies at your forum. They'll probably know". And I never even told him about the hivemind!)
[Edit: oh, 8 is twice 4 and 6 is twice 3. It's like my post # can't decide about plural or singular itself. How meta.]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cyclops is singular -- plural is (iirc) cyclopes.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

The Big Gulp is one of those cold war programs that have outlived their original purpose.
Reagan said there was a Gulp Gap with the Soviet Union: their "5-Year" Gulp was providing nearly 50% more refreshment than our largest Gulps.
Many years and several billion dollars later, we finally have the biggest Gulp, but the Soviet Union is no more. The truly insane thing is that they still went ahead with the Double Gulp program.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Shit, I just thought it was ice.

Then I suppose the lesson for the day is, keep the lid firmly attached to the Big Gulp. Or protest in favor of degulpament treaties.

The really scary thing are all those unlidded Big Gulps in the former Soviet Union. Just image if someone spilled one in a major U.S. city.
