Have you started reading it yet? I'm curious about it.
I haven't, because I want to be able to read it in one sitting if I can. E loved it, and has been after me to start reading it all week because he has nobody to talk about it with.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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
Friggin triathlon people blocking roads. It took me 40 minutes to get down from my place to just at the Mayfair when i called Polgara to wake up Kristen and take her to the airport. Fuckers are running (biking? swimming? backflipping?) down Highland.
I'd just like to point out that smokers never block traffic so everyone has to be inconvenienced by our annoying habit.
Bastards.

Yeah, but triathalon runners are representatives of virtue and clean living, whereas smokers are LeperOutcastUnclean.

Wow -- I saw several friends praising this post on LJ about the ABC/Disney 9-11 movie, but it's even more powerful than I thought:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow.
We need more people like her.

I am glad to know America can watch America's Funniest Home Videos for the hour before The Path to 9/11 tonight. (I actually watch AFV, but I do think it's a weird lead-in.)
Since I don't watch TV except PBS (and AFV), I didn't actually know anything about the 9/11 docudrama until today.
Also, in public broadcasting news, On The Media on NPR today had two pieces about fandom and defined Kirk/Spock, leading mr. flea to remark, "There are some things I don't want to know about..." Available streaming here: [link]

Ok, everyone here knows that I like to post links to things which are Scary and Wrong. So of course, that's what this post is about. Except I should warn you - this is really scary and wrong. I mean, it's worksafe, but that's about the best thing I can say about it.
OK, I'll jsut come out and link to it: Rapping Christian Pirate Puppets
So. Wrong.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
t Super Porny Pants swoops into thread. It is an exciting journey for she has been here rarely and certainly not in a long time. She flies around with super speed, reads several hundred posts, smiles beamingly at folks who have never summoned her before, and lands perched on a precipice, fists on hips
THAT COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN FUNNIER IF YOU PEOPLE HAD USED MONTY PYTHON ACCENTS
