You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

I thought Canada had the biggest.

Technological/musical people: My father is looking for a keyboard to plug into his computer. He doesn't need it to be flashy, but would like more than an octave or two. Anybody have models they've had success with, or ones to avoid?

I've had good luck with the M-Audio Keystation's. They have them in various sizes. Decent, cheap, and a USB connection.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I thought Canada had the biggest.

yes. That's why I specified the US.

Edmonton has the biggest in the world, I could not remember if the fleas lived near that one.

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

Daniel, this mother isn't the biggest anything -- it's just more over-the-top silly pretentious tacky pretending-to-be-something-better-than-a-mall than anything else within a few hundred miles of central NC.

But they did have the first Apple store in the area. So in spite of all that, I can't completely hate them even though I avoid them at all times.

information libertarian

It's not officially, or even widely, known as the Mother of All Malls or anything - that's just our private nickname. It's pretty behemoth for the region, though. This gives you a little sense of its overscale: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Interesting. Looks like the AT&T thing is what'll keep me furthest away from it.

I have AT&T now, but I was looking to speed up my data.

Trust my rage

I know I'm a bit OT here, but I find this interesting. For myself and other non-NC types living in Sanford, that mall was a destination. We would drive 45-60 minutes to just hang out at the mall on the weekend. Mostly because we had nothing else close (tacky Fayetteville mall or super small local shops in Sanford). Also, they have a Super Target. I think if I had actually lived in Durham or Carborro, I probably would have stayed away just to make a anti-consumerism point, if nothing else, but living in the boonies, all the bright chain stores were like a siren.

Plus, that mall has family abthrooms and nursing rooms, although the Nordstrom's bathroom makes an awesome nursing room.

It should tell you something that while I did not particularly like Sanford, I would move there again in a heartbeat if it meant we could leave here.
