Wolfram, I was just thinking about you, the other day!
Curiously, so was I. Hope the kidlets are doing well and you had a good Channukah.

Hi all, delurking for a quick idea. Although sending postcards, letters, emails, tabasco sauce etc. is a great way of showing networks that there's a huge fan base for a show, wouldn't it also be a good idea to try and get a real tally of the fans on a single website with a webcounter of some sort. Perhaps it can distinguish individual IP addresses to minimize tampering?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
WOLFRAM!!! Missed you, dear! And a happy belated Chanukah to the cubs!

Hi Wolfram! And thank you very much!
I was just driving along Sunset with the top down. On Christmas Eve. How awesome is that?
I will admit it is not as awesome as the Santa I saw the other day in the LeBaron convertible.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That soiunds very awesome, Kristen. My favorite LA Christmas sight was a couple on a motorcycle in full leathers, with the passenger carefully clutching a very traditional wreath.

Allyson, if you're out there: the shuttle bath toy was a HUGE hit with the nephew. (The other goodies were also fabulous, but that one was the winner.) We ended up saving a couple of presents for the Xmas morning because Kevin was getting irked that we kept asking to make him stop playing with the shuttle long enough to open another present.
I tried to get him to record a thank-you message, but by then he was very tired and also sick, so I'd tell him to say something and he'd just stare glassily at nothing. Poor little guy. I'll try again sometime when he's conscious.

My nephew stuck floam on the heads of the astronauts from the shuttle toy and made it crash into things. I'm sure it says something about him. Probably "one of us" (us being members of my family.)

That sounds adorable, Robin!
And we often have that problem in our family, too, Strega. Once the girls open a present they love? They don't want to look at the other boxes. Kids today.
In other Christmas news, I bought myself a present...a new phone. I was tired of my old clunky walkie-talkie Nextel thing (especially now that I have no need to walkie or talkie) and wanted to upgrade to a shiny new phone. But now I fear I might have upgraded too far, too fast since I have no freaking clue how to work this thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My 2-year old nephew does the same thing. At his birthday, he was totally enraptured by the chalk he got with his new easel and couldn't be made to even look at his other presents until the chalk was hidden from him.
On Christmas morning he drove my sister nuts because he wanted to play with the Weebles Castle he'd opened from me on Christmas Eve instead of opening any of his new gifts.
I personally seem to recall being a greedy little kid and anxiously opening each present in turn, then being disappointed if each new gift wasn't cooler than the last one.
I still have a tendency at Christmas to try to guess which of my gifts are going to be the coolest and then open them in the order of least to most cool. I'm rarely successful, though.
