Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Why is Carl Rove not in Hell yet?

According to two conservative websites, White House political strategist Karl Rove has been promising GOP insiders that there will be an "October surprise" before the midterm elections.

"In the past week, Karl Rove has been promising Republican insiders an 'October surprise' to help win the November congressional elections," reports Ronald Kessler for Newsmax.

...

A few weeks ago, another conservative publication, The American Spectator, reported that White House staffers had "been talking up the possibilities of an 'October Surprise' or two leading into the mid-term elections."

"They say the President feels confident he can still play a role in the election, that he intends to campaign hard for Republicans, and that on the policy front, there are a couple of issues that can be used as wedges along the way," according to a column written by "The Prowler."

What the heck could the October Surprise be? Bombing Iran? A non-aggression pact with the Cylons? Rendition of all silverfish?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If silverfish live on book glue, I'm screwed - they'll never leave.

Wait! Maybe that's how Bush plans to render them all! He's gonna get rid of all the books!

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

I would be able to guesstimate what size jeans I wear. I was in a hoity-toity used clothing store, and the sizes were all 25, 26, 27, and I had no idea what size I would be. I know that's not a waist measurement in inches, and it's certainly not inseam

By waist size, do you mean your natural waist, or where your navel is, or where the waistband of the jeans hit? Inseam also works best if you have a standard style of jeans.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

By waist size, do you mean your natural waist, or where your navel is, or where the waistband of the jeans hit? Inseam also works best if you have a standard style of jeans.

By waist size, I mean the number of inches around of fabric the garment has at its waist. (Which may or may not be where my own waist is.) Inseam is pretty straightforward as well: the measure from the garment's crotch to the garment's hem. How those fit on me is another matter; but if I at least knew that the "size 25" meant "inseam is 25 inches", I would be able to determine that my legs are a lot longer than that, so unless the crotch is somewhere halfway down my thighs, that won't fit me.

I don't think it's possible to do measurements on the body and make that a sizing system. People measure in different places, or the garment isn't designed for what the person is measuring for, etc. etc. But describing the garment by its own measurements, that seems like a feasible thing to do.

October Surprise

The real problem with with October surprises is that they aren't, and people still fall for them anyway.
