So we have the window open (because of the NICE WEATHER) and suddenly , the room is filled with the smell of fritos. Which smell alarmingly like feet to me. Blearg.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Mostly because the other earnest anti-drug campaigns make me want to go on a bender, and I think alligators could only improve the situation.
Heh. There was an article in the Times the other day - apprarently that is precisely the effect of the anti-teen-smoking ad blitzes. Though they did not mention alligators.

I'm gonna take a minnit and try to figure out a way to use this to my advantage.
Well, if you're the one who actually carried that adorable little relatively-new human being, then you're clearly real. There has to be some advantage in being real, regarding the maybe-not-real among us, right?
I'm not real. I'm a program running on a TRS-80 in the basement of an obscure University in Idaho.
Then again, if Gud is not real, and that enables him to create that time machine (or was it cloning? Or both? Which was supposed to be Leif's responsibility, now?), maybe there's an advantage to non-real-ness. Hmm.

Not Tom, but I recommend the Bone series. (And because I'm a snob about such things, I'd recommend buying the individual books instead of the one-volume version, because the one-volume version has smaller pages and the art is better in the original size.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I worked with a woman who sent her mother flowers every year on her own birthday--to thank her for a job well done. I thought it was a cute gesture.

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

This is true, and yet, after the colorizing fiasco, I about wept with joy to see the one-volume come back.

A smoking scene on tv/film will not make me crave a cigarette. A lecture or ad on the devil tobacco? Being stuck in a non-smoking environment (like an airport?) Want. Now.
So contrary.

Oh gack, I'd forgotten about that -- shrunken black & white is definitely better than colorized!

Thanks Jess, good advice. His Tintins were also bound in volumes and my nephew did prefer looking at mine (but mine are in French so that was a bit problematic).

I don't know about teenagers, but those The Truth ads make me want to START smoking because they are so sanctimonious.
