Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Heh, I'm at a Panera in Studio City, and a softball team of writers just came in, and are talking about where there are all supposed to go picket.

LOL! I was at Target Friday, and the woman in front of me was on her cell, complaining about having to go on strike and wondering if her show would be cancelled. L.A. is weird.

It is weird. The overheards at this Panera crack me up. So not my normal world.

I was in the elevator with her after, and I wanted to wish her luck on the strike, but it felt like breaking the fourth wall or something. And that's even without knowing what show she works for.

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

From Simon's link:

Actually, "Miracle Man" is pro-Christian, which is what makes it so subersive.

This gave me a squick.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, I'm not gonna comment on that.

I'm tempted to comment but I'll await data. The interpretation I'd really like does not fit with Tim's politics. I can't see him doing the equivalent of Woodie Guthrie's old song:

Jesus was a man
Carpenter by hand
With followers both true and brave
He said to the rich "give your money to the poor"
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

yeah, I'm not gonna comment on that.

It's just a typo. It's not that bad.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I'm not understanding the squick. Which makes me think maybe I don't understand what Tim meant. In summary, I'm just confused.

It's just a typo. It's not that bad.

Hee. I read it first as subversive. Then when I didn't understand, I looked up subersive in the dictionary. That didn't help.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

That's a fun piece, Polter-Cow - thanks.

My perfect cast is still people I've never met.
