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.

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 think Tim isn't likely to trade in this.

Pretty pretty car.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I know. The hope is that the Buffett mystique and the testosterone of rich businessmen will create a bidding FRENZY.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

For the ground fighting, I suggest a large ring made of chicken wire and you can periodically get on a mike and yell, "MasterBlaster rules Barter Town" and "2 Kravvers Enter, One Kravver Leaves."

I should have known somone would beat me to it.

Hey, you could model Real-Life situations:

Warm rubber snakes up. Throw on students, whislt shouting "Motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane, motherfuckers! GET EM!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shannen Doherty hangs up on Newsweek reporter: [link]

eta: She denies ever trying to run down her ex-boyfriend years ago. Was that just a rumor, or was it confirmed?

We have been long piratery since our initial report from December (see “Piratery FKA Piracy: Primer to Investing in Cutlasses, Rum and Pillaging“). But the recent cresting of Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest gives pause to our bullish sentiment.

Are we reaching the point of Peak Pirate?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Something to make you go "WTF?" from today's Think Progress:

35. Number of words the current issue of TIME magazine devotes to Judge Anna Diggs Taylor’s ruling that President Bush’s warrantless domestic wiretapping program is unconstitutional.

1,109. The number of words in the same issue on the extradition of John Mark Karr.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And from imdb:

The story of the arrest of a suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey case pushed aside seemingly more important matters including Iran's test of long-range missiles and a ruling by a federal judge in Michigan that overturned the Bush administration's domestic-surveillance operations. MSNBC, which scored a beat on its rivals by being the first to report on last Wednesday's arrest in Bangkok of John Mark Karr, continued to devote considerable time to the story as late as Sunday, as Karr was being flown back to the U.S. in the business class section of Thai Airlines. At 10:01 a.m. MSNBC bannered: "BREAKING NEWS; RAMSEY SUSPECT ALLOWED TO DRINK CHAMPAGNE WHEN HE BOARDED PLANE." Five minutes later it changed its "Breaking News" banner to "RAMSEY SUSPECT'S ONBOARD DINNER INCLUDED PATÉ AND FRIED KING PRAWNS." At 12:31, another "Breaking News" banner read, "RAMSEY SUSPECT HAS HAD CHAMPAGNE, A BEER AND GLASS OF WINE ON PLANE."

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

I think Tim isn't likely to trade in this.

If being rich doesn't allow me to have two cars, well, darn it, I'm going to stop trying.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
