Erinaceous so has to get herself on the Colbert Report.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Erinaceous so has to get herself on the Colbert Report.

She totally should!! She even mentioned him in her NPR piece about new words a couple of weeks ago.

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 could so make that happen, I bet. I would love to play erinaceous' publicist on the phone with the Colbert Report.

When are you supposed to start?

Jan. 23rd. And they sent me an email in December saying, ooh, we haven't gotten your letter of agreement yet! Get that in! Uh, yeah, hi. I've been wondering if part of the problem is how many colleges there are in the area, all spitting out education students needing placements.

The whole thing, pretty much--do you figure her father was actually abusive.

I tried to watch Smallville again, since it broke through the cracks in TiVo scheduling. The idea that one guy's young enough to shag Lana and old enough to run for office --well, give me a guy flying in tights instead.

So, I was watching an episode of House that seemed to me to contain a bit of Magical Negro. Unless there's a separate category for Magical Jazz Musician, but I think there's generally crossover. It's funny how things I wouldn't really have noticed before stand out so strikingly, like Mary Sues.
