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

if someone wants daily vacuuming?! That person can do it.

Oh, I totally agree. I mean, I don't think I should have to tolerate someone's dirty dishes in the sink for days on end so that I'm always doing someone else's dishes just so I can cook something for me.

But if it drives me apeshit that there's a teacup, plate, fork, and spoon in the sink before I go to bed? That shit's on me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, Hec, a hippie with a commute like that is a piss poor hippie.

I am totally a slave to The MAN.

V's a terrorist.

Yeah, but charistmatic and poetical. Plus, prone to shaving Natalie Portman's head with little provocation.

I too agree with ita about Alex.

David, no ginger cookies of anykind. Though I have maple cookies which are of the yum. Does growing up in Ohio and having a love of maple products make me almost canadian?

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

Plus, prone to shaving Natalie Portman's head with little provocation.

You're such a slut.

For some reason all the relationship talk is making me feel like an alien again.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Shared places: You have to agree on a standard - messier than the Felix wants, cleaner than the Oscar wants. Then you take equal shares for maintaining that standard. This minimizes the urge to kill for both parties - at least on that issue.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

How was the review, Perkins?

Pretty good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is V (of the Vendetta) a terrorist?

Without following the link (because it's after midnight on this coast and I really should be going to bed), I kind of thought that was the premise of the book. I didn't realize it was a controversial statement.

It's been a year, Perk? Cool!

I didn't realize it was a controversial statement.

The article starts with the premise that more Americans think it's terrorism after 9/11 than did before. And not that many to whom he'd taught it had thought so. I'm assuming that the Brits always knew, but am surprised at the idea that significant # of folk (hi Hec!) were really not getting it.

Is V (of the Vendetta) a terrorist?

I guess it's naive of me to think that that guy doesn't encounter a lot of discussion about whether V is a terrorist because the answer is, "Of course." He's not just out to overthrow this particular nasty government; he's an anarchist. The happy ending is chaos, not reform.
