So I was just poking around on the internets to see what was going on in LA this weekend and found this:

"Meet the Grunion"
Saturday night, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium leads visitors to a nearby beach to watch grunion make sweet, slimy love on the beach (bow chicka bow wow).
Sat | Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen White Dr., San Pedro | (310) 548-7562

When did a Buffista start writing for this site?

Man, Saturday Night Live was made for Tivo. This way, when you hit FF as soon as a sketch gets boring, you can watch the whole thing in like seven mintues.

ita - I agree semantics. Yeah, for non-sociopaths there is always an "us" - we human beings, or we sentient beings when we finally meet the ganymedians. But don't think that is an ethnic group because nobody is outside it. "American Indian" or "First Nation" or whatever is definitely an ethinic group - a social contruction, and mostly not chosen by the constructed to boot. That social construction did not exist pre-invasion. "We humans" is not the same thing. An ethnic group or nationality is a division; we are "we humans" but some of us are this type of human and other that. It could be looked upo as a type of shared hallucination with real consequences as gift with purchase.

Today I bought comics, curtains, a 12.5" sauté pan, and sexy pictures to hang in my bathroom. All within maybe 3 blocks. Yay for big city living.

I'm only through the first three episodes of season two. My roommate probably won't kill me if I watch more without her...

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

Gar, I asked "what do you call?" I didn't ask "what's the name of the ethnic group that?"

So if you tell me that the people in the group I'm asking about resist an ethnic label, I pretty much don't care. I'm asking about what you call the now-Canadian people that came over that land bridge and scattered and settled and were here before the Europeans sailed over. That's all. You can or can not consider it an ehtnic group. I call it a group, and wonder how to identify it semantically.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Voltron got served.

I'm supposed to bring mimosa fixings to a brunch tomorrow. I'm thinking maybe I'll help with bellinis too. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best sparkling wines for this purpose, and a good brand of peach juice?
