For msbelle, pretty much: I'm just now seeing this, Rob Riggle's debut on TDS: [link]
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

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

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.

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.

I had two on my TiVo, sarameg. I'd even forgotten how the last series had ended. It was so very English--the idea that in a cop show a cop in the aftermath of a shooting would be not only skittish around guns but getting a bunch of money from her employers. In US cop shows, you just shake that stuff off.
Watched GA. As a recent hyperventilator and a less recent faintee I got scared for him because of what he might hit or rip out on the way down. Not fun.
Okay, gross Yahoo ad where this woman learns about a fertilizer online that has her garden bursting with blossoms. And then a dog digs himself out of the flowerbed and the little girl exclaims "You're alive!"
Dude. Pet Sematary. Don't use the Native American fertilizer. Never ends well.

Ha!
My people don't do lorem ipsum text at all. We get garbled manuscript set into the design -- sometimes it's hilarious! Even for a first edition, they just take the copyedited files (we almost always have at least part of the ms. on disk) and scramble them and plug them in.
