All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

sumi, it was implied that Steve shot the other two in the barn before raping Sam. After Sam got up, she got in the van to drive away, stopped just before turning the key, got out, picked up the gun that Steve dropped in his sleep, paused, and fired 3 shots at him.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Kalshane, I'm applying for a wide variety of positions. A lot of them are helpdesk/destop support/pc tech positions. Lately I've been branching out into anything that will let me use my IT skills with my English degree, which would also include being the digital master of all paperwork.

Gotcha. I seem to have misplaced one of the openings I was told about that was more of a drive than I was interested in (I could have sworn I saved the e-mail), but I've got a friend who works for GE Healthcare and he pointed out they have 38 openings for various IT positions in the Chicago area. Might be worth a look if you haven't applied there yet. [link] If I hear about anything else close to/in the city, I'll let you know.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

For msbelle, pretty much: I'm just now seeing this, Rob Riggle's debut on TDS: [link]

Ha! The NYT goes awry:

“Brothers and Sisters” has flair, but sometimes less family is more.Lorem ipsum dollor sitt att, consec tteur adipis cing elitt, 10 a diam no nummy nim euismod ttincinditt laorett dollore man 20 a aliquam eratt voluttpatt. Utt wisi enim ad minim veniam, qui30 nosttrud exerci ttattion ullam corper suscipitt lobor (1”) nis 40 aliquip ex ea commodo conqse quatt.

It's sort of like latin, but certainly "nummy" is not a latin word. From [link] It goes on for 3 pages!

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

That's weird that they have changed up the standard lorem ipsum placeholder text. Spaces and word counts, it looks like.

And funny as hell that they've published it.

There's a standard lorem ipsum placeholder text? Tell me more!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I can't count the number of times I've gotten design sketches back with the comment "but isn't the text supposed to be in English?"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Lorem ipsum is more or less Latin gibberish to begin with. Funny.

I can't count the number of times I've gotten design sketches back with the comment "but isn't the text supposed to be in English?"

Heh, yes. But still better than getting it back with placeholder text all marked up and no comment on design.

Which means Eureka's ending...well, too soon.

Hopefully only temporarily.

Catching up on the second of my TiVo's Inspector Lynley mysteries.

There are new ones!?! Damnit. My pbs was in pledge drive hell mode, so the listings were pretty much all TBA. Damnit.
