Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

He is terribly cute, isn't he?

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

I had no idea.

How? How could you have missed every comic-geek girl ever burbling about him? Cute, a wonderful writer, charming, funny, and an absolute sweetheart. And devoted to his kids.

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

Jilli is only a wee bit biased.

But she's right! I have no expectation of writers to look like anything other than normal people. Gaiman is a bit...a bit...christ, he's hot. It's always an extra-special bonus when someone who's that big a name in an ultra-geeky field is smoking.

Always Anti-fascist!

wrod. most writers are total faces-for-radio(not in this room) Even my fake husband is, but I love him for his prose anyway.

Neil Gaiman is a hottie.

His milkshake brings all the Goths to the yard.

Disturbingly, his early-20s son is actually better-looking, and is a big computer geek. I recall amych and I feeling like dirty old women about Gaiman fils back at WX.

I don't suppose you have pictures, or anything?

Just for comparison purposes.

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
