edit again: to say, the Register story is a joke and the other one, AFAIK, isn't. Scary. Scarier.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Umm. The one with the bisexual girl, the bathroom with no lock, and the pizza.

...and I was blinking, and reviewing the black'n'white eps of The Avengers that I've seen, and wondering whether it was a Diana Rigg one or an Honour Blackman one, and being surprised that they had pizza or mentions of people's sexuality. And then you mentioned Lesbian Spank Inferno, and the penny belatedly dropped.

I do love Geoff. (?Jeff? Geoff? Hell, I should know this. Bad Fay. No biscuit.)

Fay - I'd add another reasons for being against the death penalty.

We should not kill people, even dangerous horrible people, when we have a reasonable alternative. It is one thing to kill in self-defense; it is quite another to kill someone you already have safely locked up. Not so much for what it does to them as for what it does to you.

Gar, I totally respect your beliefs on this, and I wouldn't try to change your mind. I don't entirely see that this is the same as advocating torture, because I'm not coming at it from a "punish the bastard, make them suffer" point of view, regardless of how heinous the crime is. And heaven knows I can think of precious few instances where I'd feel it was merited. But, for me I think I could live with a death penalty under the never-to-be-attained circumstances I've outlined. Because there are some crimes that I consider beyond the pale, and if someone has consciously decided to commit them, in the knowledge that SocietyRunByOmniscientAndOmnipotentFay punishes those crimes with the death penalty, then they've made a choice and they're no longer entitled to the protection of OmniscientAndOmnipotentFay'sSociety.

Um. I sound like I'm trying to convince you, and that isn't my intent. I respect your stance on this, and it speaks well of you. But it isn't a position that I presently hold myself, and I have thought it through quite a bit to reach this conclusion. It may well be that, as my experience of life increases blah blah blah I will change my views, but this is where I'm at now.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Scary. Scarier.

You know, I was rather hoping for a minute they had a cottage industry going.....

(blowing kisses at Fay) Hullo, sweetie.

Ok, I take that back, the Register story was not a joke. I got confused by the disclaimer at the bottom.

Scary. Scarier. Run Screaming From The Room.

Phone sex vibrator attachments! I love this (in a purely rhetorical way, of course....)

Fay, I'm going to do some backhistory with Steed and Spike and Dru. Because I'm evil. Because I can.

heheheheheh....

(edited to say, secret message to Fay not so secret because I always screw up when I try and whitefont stuff)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Who doesn't like Nigel Havers? Why not?

Angus is the BAD MAN.

He even came up with a new word to describe NH. It's in COMM.

Got this link from David Ehrenstein. An excellent review of the film and also how the events of "Gulf War I" relate directly to "Gulf War II".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

OK - a different kind of phone porn. (Warning - does involve as much actual porn as the Register is capable of.)

Gar, was that prompted by the Coupling comments? Because there was actually an ep that referenced a similar, er, attempt at multitasking.
