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

If I only had a brain...
Bless you, Allyson, and I hope it wasn't anything I said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Of course it was actual krav on Gilmore Girls. We trained them!
Brenda, I'm not sure what you don't understand, but I sense you haven't seen the Miracle Foam ad--they have a powder that's supposed to foam massively when it gets wet, and a spray. I have the powder, and it really doesn't cling to wet surfaces enough to do a great job on anything other than the horizontal ones. But it did a good job there.
I exercised today. Exercised to a sweat for the first time since the concussion. It makes my head feel very strange. The brown belt test...well, it's supposed to be a bitch. Having fought today, I don't need to fight again until the test, I figure. I'm not going to get any better between now and the end of the month.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well, yeah, ita, but I didn't know that when I was watching it. Thus my impressed-ness

I didn't mean to sound reprimandy--excited was what I was going for.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
It wasn't as bad as what threw me right out of the first ep of Bones,
I am generally amused by these sorts of continuity errors. There are countless shows/movies that show someone driving over Memorial Bridge, past the lions, with the Lincoln Memorial in the background, and then they go somewhere in DC. I'm like "no, sweetie, you're in virginia now."

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
No, Betsy, you really helped save me a little there. I'm just sort of agreeing that it is a weak piece, overall, and I hate turning in stuff I know is crap.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Okay, the links are one thing but ita just voodoo'd my tv.
Billy Mays is SHOUTING about Miracle Foam right now. The fact he's the one shilling it explains why I hadn't seen it much before. His voice is Teh Grating.
It's ... intriguing. "Pour a capful in and it cleans your toilet for you." I still like the Scrubbing Bubbles for all of the other surfaces but I could be bi-productal if that claim is true.
It's the Blob of cleaning.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's not crap. It may not be your best-ever work, but damn, it's so much better than so much else that's been published. Be happy you're bestowing good reading upon the populace, Allyson. Don't worry that it's not your best. Not every piece can be best.
