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.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yeah. In general they won't do anything, but with fuzzballs there's no control over how the fuzzball reacts. I saw what seemed to be a common garden snake while walking my dogs, and while I would have been fine, there's no way to know if Oz or Max, specially Oz, would have attacked, and then I have a dog with a snakebite which I have to take to the vet.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I just rushed all the way through Natter to talk about House.

I divert to give ~ma and birdies of the hippo variety to them that need it.

Also, I have window clings, one from the 100th anniversary convention of my sorority, a school alumni one, and Strongbad and The Cheat from Homestar Runner. I've been mulling getting a license wrap thing from Cafepress that says "I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Now then... House: Can someone with spicier brains than me explain why I hated tonight's House? The Old Man And The Cameron stuff was meh, but the girl was pissing. me. off. Can't put my finger on why. I kept waiting for her to have a big reveal... parent rape? House's illegitimate daughter? WhyTF are you here?!? She was just Plot Ex Machina through the entire thing. And why the hell does House have to be a child abuse victim?!? Why can't he just be a damn misanthrope because he is!!! I think smart people know that, heaven help them all, sometimes people just suck. House is pretty smart. Why can't he just be freaking jaded???

In conclusion, wtf.

I loved the coffee pics. I might see if I can buy one for my new kitchen, which will be red, so that works out with the red cup. I will not, however, buy this one as I think it looks more like penis and less like coffee. or is it just me?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Drown the mouse in the trap. It's a quick way to end the suffering.

I once tried to save a mouse from a gluetrap, put it in the car, drove to a friend's house, and realized that the trap was stuck to the passenger side door because it slid across the seat when i was taking a turn.

Oh man. House is now dead to me.

I confess I didn't see this ep, but I'm so incredibly sick of that trope. If anyone with that experience has a pass to become a misanthrope or an ax murderer, etc. etc... then where do I sign up for my excuse slip? Sheesh.

t /massive personal issue

Which means I need to go to bed.

Yeah, House blew chunks. It was cheap.

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

Enough so that I should skip watching it?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Is this where I talk about the cop from The Wire that shot a mouse with his service revolver "to serve as a warning for the others."
