Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

Oh hell, someone tell me to stop yelling at the tv. Tell me to go read a romance or taunt the cats or try on new clothes and see what fits with the new skirt or go braid my neighbor's hair. I really like not really fitting in my neighborhood. It almost makes me feel like I belong more.

Gus, dude, I'm taking exception as well. This is NATTER. Natter will be done. It's random. It floats and flows and interests and disinterest. If I want to talk about the neighbor kid who has glommed on to me, I will. It matters to me. I bitch about my work. Who gives a fuck about my work? I do it anyway. People want to ignore me? Fine. I take no offense. I ignore some talk, but I don't bitch about it. Ignore me and my topics or don't, I don't really care. But really.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Lee, I make jokes. The thing about jokes is that they are bound to offend someone.

I poke fun at the conversations here because I am hopeful that some of the participants will pick up on the irony and thereby get a smile.

In other words: phb-b-b... t.

sarameg, it may make you feel better to know that the stylist who did my hair for my wedding doesn't do braids. Just plain refuses. So it's not like everyone in the world can be expected to braid on demand.

Always Anti-fascist!

How is the Wire a movie thing? You can rent it on video, and that thread has actual, you know, slow periods so even Corwood, new dad, can hang out in there. And we both make the other one think of Baltimore or something, I can't explain it.

That's a hell of a look, but I did like it on Samuel L. Jackson.

I'm drinking rum. It's a rum, fresh citrus (lime, lemon), soda and Maraschino concoction.

Le sigh. I have to go to Livermore tomorrow. All day in Livermore. Feh.

And on the topic of banks enslaving us, I like the way they give me spendable money that I otherwise would not have, and do not feel that they charge too much for the service. Because living within my means is not always very comfortable.

My sympathies, Hec. The main mental images I have of Livermore are heat and dust and traffic. I hope the baseball part is fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't found a viable alternative to banks. However, charging me to talk to a teller seems a little...petulant.
