Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The status is NOT quo.

I love the new thread tagline.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

TAR:

Brenda, you might be right. I wasn't always looking at the screen so I could have been confusing the really disfunctional couple's fighting with one-leg's reactions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love the sound of the word "plavix."

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

quester, it might be related to what was pissing me off about him so much - he was certainly talking to her like she was having a meltdown (and using lots of lovely therapy speech to do so) and it seemed like she was almost buying it herself. The other couple was pretty awful, too, though. I am kind of loving the coal miner couple, way more than I expected to at first.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Via Boing-Boing an interesting (I'm not saying valid, but interesting) tip for checking your luggage while forcing the airlines to take extra-care not to lose it [link] :

A "weapons" is defined as a rifle, shotgun, pistol, airgun, and STARTER PISTOL. Yes, starter pistols - those little guns that fire blanks at track and swim meets - are considered weapons...and do NOT have to be registered in any state in the United States.

I have a starter pistol for all my cases. All I have to do upon check-in is tell the airline ticket agent that I have a weapon to declare...I'm given a little card to sign, the card is put in the case, the case is given to a TSA official who takes my key and locks the case, and gives my key back to me.

That's the procedure. The case is extra-tracked...TSA does not want to lose a weapons case. This reduces the chance of the case being lost to virtually zero.

It's a great way to travel with camera gear...I've been doing this since Dec 2001 and have had no problems whatsoever.

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

Is anyone else watching Studio 60? Whee! And to think I almost blew it off.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Are you watching on a delayed basis? I thought it was on Mondays.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

TAR: this has to be overall the most likeable field (so far) in the past couple of seasons.

I really found myself wishing, though, that the dysfunctional couple female half would have accidentally put a flaming arrow through her companion, which would have so served him right.
