Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Up with the sun

Lyra Jane! OMG at your tag! Hee hee hee!

Thank you! I got it by wading deep in the murky waters at fanfic_hate. Apparently it's the opening to a Godawful LotRiPS story; the poster said who the "Pussyboy" was, but I don't remember.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

If y'all didn't notice, Minnow posted two more of her post-Not Fade Away stories yesterday. Read 'em while they're hot.

One more to come.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Now Pagan pulled out the Holocaust on BBF.

No, really, this time we're done.

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

I think you're never going to be done, Dana.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The Holocaust? Wait, are you still talking about whether slash is a fetish?

You betcha. She's feeling persecuted and defended herself by saying she supports gay rights and lectures on the Holocaust.

I don't think that counts as a Godwin's Law violation, does it? I think there has to be an explicit Nazi-comparison.

Oh, God, there's a Godwin's Law FAQ. Hee. (And according to the FAQ, I'm wrong, alas.)

Even better:

Case's Corollary to the Law states "if the subject is Heinlein or homosexuality, the probability of a Hitler/Nazi comparison being made becomes equal to one"

Hee.

Case's Corollary to the Law states "if the subject is Heinlein or homosexuality, the probability of a Hitler/Nazi comparison being made becomes equal to one" - but that's just an old list. Abortion and gun control debates always lead to Nazi comparisons; talk with a Libertarian for more than a few hours and he'll almost certainly bring up Nazis; book-burning is pretty much considered a sub-topic of Nazism at this point. Hell, talk about anything politically related and you'll eventually get there.
