AMYCH! I need a proper-sounding Frenchish last name for J'onn, who is now Jean, tall and imposing and strikingly bald with deep olive skin and russet brown eyes.
And I think I need a keeper.
Ahahahahahaha!!!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Oxford English Dictionary has a definition for "truthy" dating back to the 1800s. It's defined as "characterized by truth" and includes the derivation "truthiness."
Michael Adams, a visiting associate professor at North Carolina State University who specializes in lexicology, pointed to that definition and has said Colbert's claim to inventing the word is "untrue." (Adams served as the expert opinion in the initial AP story.)
"The fact that they looked it up in a book just shows that they don't get the idea of truthiness at all," Colbert said Thursday. "You don't look up truthiness in a book, you look it up in your gut."
Colbert really has to stop this. If he makes me one iota more smitten with him than I already am, I may have to challenge Robin for his hand. Which would likely earn me the scrappy stomping of my life.

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
And to make it all Buffista related, I interviewed Michael Adams about Slayer Slang, the book erinaceous edited for OUP.

So does that make all of us 3 degrees away from being the Number 1 threat facing America?

The day I moved to San Francisco, a multi-year drought ended. It rained for something like 20 days in a row, setting a new record.
You fucker! I loved that drought. Thanks a lot, The Honorable Mr. Drizzle (fo shizzle), DDS, Esq.

Eh. She's all talk. She'd never break up a devout Catholic's marriage.

What is even happening?
"The fact that they looked it up in a book just shows that they don't get the idea of truthiness at all," Colbert said Thursday. "You don't look up truthiness in a book, you look it up in your gut."Oh I t heart this.

This is one of those referential-loop days. I don't know if I can explain what I mean by that, but I just referred (without an outright reference) to Slayer Slang, in an LJ entry I may or may not actually publish. I left it marked "private" while I think about it for a while. It's about fandom, and I was prompted to write it in response to an article by willa at Popgurls, but it ended up being about when I consider myself in fandom, and a lot of the subtext has to do with a conversation I saw at this board, but didn't bother entering.
