Well, actually, it is about you, as you're the consumer they supply. The companies should mediate, and get their shit together. I used to work for the UK cable company Telewest, and they did a similar thing with MTV a while ago. MTV started airing adverts about how bad Telewest are, so Telewest took them off the air because of those adverts. It was all about profit margins.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Punishingly Intricate
A couple of years ago I published a paper (about twins!) filled with tedious equations and the sort of dubious conclusions that you squeeze out of tedious equations.

If there is no online streaming, I think someone should re-enact TV's hit Drive for me via finger-puppet theater clips on YouTube. You know, so no one's blatantly violating copyright by posting the clips from the show. Because that would be wrong.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've been known to recap things for shrift via interpretive dance.

Is it like the Saving Private Ryan interpretive Oscar dance?
I totally think that should be a DVD extra. Nathan, Kevin Alejandro and Co. re-enact the pilot to some sort of jazz/rock medley. Power chords should emphasize the dramatic, actiony parts.

Are there veils?

There are lot of spit-takes. Makes the veils get all soggy.

What is even happening?
If Fox doesn't stream "Drive," we'll be setting up a tape tree for me, right? Because I am loved? Even if I'm not cute enough to be sponsored?
You are especially cute. You're just tall, which pushes cute a bit far back in the Moniquely Adjective line.

Speaking of...I sure could take looking at those fantabulous babies, today. I'll be watching the Bitches thread for a link, and tapping my foot.

For most people who have (or soon will have!) twins in their lives, I recommend a book by Nancy Segal, “Entwined lives: Twins and what they tell us about human behavior.” Nancy is a twin researcher, but she’s also a twin, so she decided to write this book for a general audience.
People like me and bio-statistician math dudes use the twins as a convenient way to learn about other things. It’s easiser for us if we can assume that twins are not different from anyone else, so we tend to ignore what is special about growing up as a twin. Nancy keeps us honest.
