Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, 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.

Allyson--have you watched Crash? You might not be deep enough to get what msbelle's saying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also? NICE TALK ON THE DAY OF OUR LORD SAVIOR'S RESURRECTION!!

Ah, but that's how I know I can get away with the potty mouth. Jesus said so.

Just like Slim Fast.

Dude -- this is even worse (to me). They've moved on past the "eat our cereal for two meals a day" into "replace your ENTIRE CAKE of a nighttime snack with our cereal."

You knew, but a lot of people don't.

But three of your four examples are way more complex than "a bowl of diet cereal has fewer calories than a jumbo bag of chips."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

People can clarify and explain their posts, they can even adjust their stances on things and CHANGE THEIR OPINIONS!

Not according to ita. She claims there should be no takebacks.

It is your opinion that the people they're trying to reach know jack about nutrition. It is mine that there are enough ignorant people for it to be a viable marketing strategy. I have no numbers to provide you, though.

I claim that precedent has been set, and takebacks are allowed. Pay you no attention?

OMG! Jon Stewart is on News Radio! He looks sooo young.

Okay, this Lifetime TV movie (it's a Colin appearance, or I wouldn't be here) is slower than frozen molasses. Conflicts? Few and far between.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

sometimes ita is full of it (wherein "it" = loads of crap).

So you disagree with me that takebacks are okay?

I'm so confused.

Yeah, you know what I actually think the marketing strategy is, now that I think about it? "Special K makes you lose weight. And you can eat it all the time! One bowl a day? Pfft!!"

You know, msbelle, I can read inside your parentheses. And so can Jesus.
