Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It was a radio show with a readily accessible podcast-- the Sound of Young America.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I mean, it makes me laugh to see men succumb to the same body-manipulation trends that women deal with, but -- WTF!
It's a pretty constant thing.
I know I hang out in circles where strength is almost fetishized, but although men don't have as much pressure as women do, they do have it, and it's never pretty.
There are rules about what makes a man a man too. Just that they're not as often (or as harshly?) penalised for breaking them.
I had an argument about my race yesterday. Guy told me I wasn't black. He seemed to believe it at the start, too. I rounded it off by calling myself Jamaican, and not white, and he seemed to understand that I have a little more experience in the arena of who the hell I am than he did, and he changed the tone of the discussion.
How weird. Not weird like the people who think I'm Asian, but still weird.

White, I think. Dude, these lips are all the evidence you need, man.
Did I say weird?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
How weird. Not weird like the people who think I'm Asian, but still weird.
Okay, am I the only one who read that as "people who think I'm Aslan"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Okay, am I the only one who read that as "people who think I'm Aslan?"
Yes.

You're not Asian?!
Sorry, that was hacky.
I'm looking at a Jamaican marriage certificate at work. Under "Condition" the groom is listed as divorced. The appellation for the bride? "Spinster." I also like that the space for profession is labeled "calling." Those crazy Jamaicans!

> Also, I have to wonder why they chose to do such a gimmicky challenge this late in the game. It seems better suited to earlier in the season.
This was my thought exactly! I was disappointed when I heard what the challenge was. I do think that the designers did really well and that out of this group: Kara, Daniel and Chloe, anyone of them could have won and made me happy. I think that it was also pretty close for the bottom three and I hope that Nick pulls himself together after this! He's been disappointing me.
I love that Tim said that in his blog! I emailed it to all my friends.

I was at a wedding in Italy, at which the groom was publicly announced as "divorziato" and the bride as "nubile." Since she was 40 and they'd been living together for many years, this was especially funny.
