Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, today's Homicide episode is one of the Law and Order crossovers, and I was just thinking that it doesn't really make logical sense that Briscoe and Curtis would just happen to have two cases that move to Baltimore, but it might make more sense for that to happen with the Major Case squad, but of course, there was no CI back then... and Friday's episode is the subway one, starring Vincent D'Onofrio. It all comes around in the end.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

I keep wondering what it would be like if they did a L&O episode based on the astronaut thing.

You know they will.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If it's in the headlines, they will rip it out.

Eta: I have added ginger vodka to my shopping list. Damn, that sounds good.

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 the Snickers ad was pretty hilarious.

I don't get the issue.

I liked it and was annoyed with it at the same time.

I thought it made fun of homophobia more than anything else. Or, you know, heterosexual panic and overcompensation. Or whatever.

I don't get the issue.

Allyson, GLAAD isn't so much protesting the ad as it aired during the superbowl (I saw it and wasn't offended either) as the different endings that were (briefly) on the website, which included the men reacting to their Lady and the Tramp-style kiss with violence against each other, or a cut to sports fans viewing and expressing their disgust in insulting fashion. The story's detailed a bit more here: [link]

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

Ginger vodka. Interesting.

I am still thinking about the pear vodka, but I think I have three bottles of vodka already, two of which are opened but kinda full.

More home gimlets is the solution, I guess. Time to make simple syrup.

or a cut to sports fans viewing and expressing their disgust in insulting fashion.

Sports fans? Members of the Bears and Colts, appallingly enough.

This I did not know. Huh.

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

I just don't think the players reacted any differently than the way I've seen gay men react to pussy.

EWWWWWWWWWW

Like that.

I'm not so sure it's about homophobia as much as it is about guys = dumb and eternally 8 years old.

Again, maybe it's the Axe ads where women writhe against a shower pipe and stuff. It just made me want to smell that stuff so I can avoid writhing against any guy wearing it.

Or send a thank you letter to the manufacturer for created eu de moron, because it prevents having to engage to find out.

I see the reactions of the players and think, "dumbass."

I see the guys beating each other to "prove" straightness and think, "dumbass."

Though, fairly, I know that I'm seeing it all through my unhomophobic blue stater lens.
