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.

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

I just saw him in something, but thought he was skeeve-o-rama. What was it? Dunno.

The Unit?

Tangentially, I was watching the X-Files last night. I was totally fannish back in the day but haven't watched it in forever. And these were some good ones-- season 2, IIRC, right before Duane Barry, the last of last night's eps before I slept. But I totally wanted to yell at Mulder to get a grip and start being fucking skeptical for once. I don't know if times changed or I did. Would a show advocating such openmindedness play these days?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There's a Duxiana store in the building next door to my work... high end (they start at $3500!!1!) Swedish mattresses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not the Unit. Some cop show, I'm sure. Looking at imdb, it must have been the SVU.

John Edward is still on TV.

Although "openminded" seems like a awfully charitable description in both cases.

There was an SVU repeat on last week where he was totally skeev-o-rama.

I'm still trying to figure out what pings me about XF that was on the pulse of the nineties but seems to be out of step today. God knows it's not suspicion of government figures.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The fact that malevolent government figures had to work in secret?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The fact that exposing government evil was considered worth it?

Batwoman hero returns as lesbian

The new-look Batwoman is just one of a wave of ethnically and sexually diverse characters entering the DC Comics universe.

Others include Mexican teenager Blue Beetle - who replaces the character's previous white incarnation - and the Great Ten, a government-sponsored team of Chinese superheroes.

Regular characters Firestorm and The Atom, meanwhile, have been reinvented as black and Asian heroes respectively.
