Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Oh. That was a bit of a gut punch.

Speaking of which, McDreamy evidently needs krav lessons, judging from the promo. Which reminds me, there was an actor in the level 1 class and I just can't place him for shit. Or maybe it was just a lookalike.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'd rather have the gut punch, frankly. I was hoping for a little Meredith and Bomb Squad guy action.

Totally funny and totally accidental whitefont.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Adorable pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal.

Kat and Lori's dogs are TOO SNUGGLY. Make them STOP. Someone tell them that I am UNLIKABLE.

Grey's Anatomy: Wow. Okay. Ouchy. Good. Sadness.

Also, I wish every episode could have Kyle Chandler and Christina Ricci in it, always. Christina Ricci and George 4ever!!1!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

GA: Not to bring actual reality into this but if Meredith were really that close to a bomb that exploded, wouldn't she have had (at minimum) hearing problems?

Don't bomb squads have robots to handle explosive devices?

For those with back/related pain experience: this weekend I did something to my body that has resulted in pain waaaay low in my back - like where the pelvis attaches - and down my right leg. Ideas what to google? Suggestions what to do? It hurt a lot right at first but is just annyoing now, when I move, walk, etc.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Lumbar pain and sciatica for starters.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Flea- sciatica

So, I have been given an impossible task at work. I need to find high resololution photographs of overweight kids. Without paying any money for them! Previously, they just did a google image search, right clicked and saved, and used them for their brochures!!!! Are these people insane in the brain!?! So now we are producing DVD's of a talk about Kids, School and Overweight, and I need to find images-- but I can't pay any money. I am at a loss.

LeN, I think that's Hollywood bomb physics. I expected her to be getting medical care, lying in a bed somewhere, but they run from these things successfully all the time, I guess.

flea--don't google. Get someone to look at it. Sounds like a nerve's been entrapped and it may drop anywhere on a severity scale, or at the very least something that can recur with aplomb if you don't get at it right away.

I'd take anti-inflammatories, but I take three Aleve with my vitamins every morning, so I'm skewed.

Sophia, if you are not seeling the DVDs and you are using them for an academic purpose, you *might* be able to get away with using copyrighted images under the fair use doctrine. Have your bosses even *heard* of copyright? Actually, if there is a press office or news service at your school they might have some images that the school already owns copyright on, or at least be able to give you ideas about where to look (or if it's even possible, which my instinct is, like yours, not so much.)
