Always Anti-fascist!

I'm really glad to hear that, Tom. From there it's a short step to bear-baiting and public executions.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, it looks like OJ's book and TV special, i.e. "I Did It and I'd Do It Again", has been cancelled.

Why? Did someone threaten to expose Fox executives to direct sunlight?

"I Did It and I'd Do It Again Only Differently",

Give thanks for small mercies, all right. I did hear that more and more local affiliates were balking.

Join us, connie. Join us! We'll swallow your sooooooul!

Sorry, the hospital already has a lien on my soul.

Praise be. What I hate most about "House" and "Bones" is that I have to watch ads for whatever idiocy Fox is promoting.

Is that why there's the line between it? Sheesh. Stupid game. Thanks Nicole, and bon bon.

I had to google "bear-baiting"....

A variation involved other animals being baited, especially bulls, but also, on one curious occasion, a pony with an ape tied to its back was baited: a spectator described that "...with the screaming of the ape, beholding the curs hanging from the ears and neck of the pony, is very laughable".

Um... huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ok, who has the top right corner square filled in?

Do you mean top left? Because the top right doesn't have a two-word phrase in the middle. Of course, I don't have the top left still, either.

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

The square on the bottom row four squares over doesn't connect to the square to the left of it. Which is quite plainly unfair. The square five over four down is driving me crazy.

I was just coming here to post that some Fox outlets were boycotting the OJ thing, but not so important now. Actually, no. It's good to know some of the smaller fish were willing to take a stand.

So to speak.

Fox affiliates owned by Lin Broadcasting, Pappas Broadcasting, and Prime Cities Broadcasting have announced they will not air the network's interview with O.J. Simpson on November 27 and 29. John Tupper, chairman-emeritus of the Fox affiliate board and head of North-Dakota-based Prime Cities, called the interview "unsuitable" for broadcasting. Fox declined to comment about the station pull-out, which Broadcasting & Cable predicted would escalate prior to the actual broadcast dates. Meanwhile the Borders bookstore chain announced Sunday that it expects Simpson's upcoming book, If I Did It, to have strong sales but will donate any profits it receives from it to a charity benefiting victims of domestic violence.

Okay, karma connects to Buddhism, Hinduism, Karma Police, and what? I've tried a bunch of stuff, but I can't get that one.
