Heh. I like the awful writer types.
Damn, that'd make a pretty good SNL skit if Angelina Jolie were hosting.
Angel: Miss me? Lilah: Only in the sense of…no.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Tim, that's incredibly wrong and yet still funny.
Twins seem to bring up this urge to experiment in a nature vs. nurture sort of way. Friends of ours have identical twins who are about 7, I think. One day within earshot of both of them, C, the father said, "They're our own little science experiment. We're giving all of our love to one of them but not the other." In their identical twin voices, they each said, "I'm the one you love, right?"

I was picturing that as a Berkeley Breathed children's book.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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
I am so excited to be an auntie and spoil them rotten every time your back is turned.

I have this fantasy that Kat and Lori run into self-involved actress and take those two kids, too. Kat uses her knitting needles to make a point and Lori sets up the Mars arm thing to keep SAG member pinned while the two kids are rescued.

If I only had a brain...
We have been known to say loudly in front of ours, "Do we really need TWO children?" Then they start bargaining over which one goes. Lately my son points out that our daughter is already written out of the will, and besides she's going to need college money soon.

This would make a funny, wacky Drive plot line.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is brilliant. They should definitely use that strategy for something.
