There's about 15 IT guys still here. All the female cow-orkers left quickly, for some reason, it seems like they didn't want to get trapped here.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Done.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Ita, in Bitches:
But girls who'd no doubt eradicate any smaller insect they saw would regularly run screaming from the classroom. "Bat! Bat!" they'd yell. Like a bat could just sit in the corner of the ceiling like that.
Ignorant.

ita sets, Hecubus scores:
Is a package store just, like, a 7-11 selling beer?
No. They sell packages. They're all in identical boxes, wrapped in plain brown paper. If you're lucky the package you bought has beer. If you're unlucky you just bought a package of used diapers. It's kind of like the lottery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Baby talk, in Natter:
Burrell: Back from the doctor's. My baby is even bigger. I'd say she's no longer wee, really. She's not-so-wee.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
From LotR, on The Silmarillion:
Sean K:
I've been told if you have a hard time getting through it you should read it backwards. That is, you should read the last section (is that the part that's "Of the Noldori and the Fall of Men" or something?) first and work your way back from there. It's the sections at the end that are the most readable, I guess.
DXMachina:
Yeah, it gets easier as you go, but that could also be because the nearer you get to the end, the fewer elves with names that start with "F" are still alive to confuse the reader.

On Fox programming "mistakes," over in the Firefly topic:
DavidS :
Fox is just so fucking stupid. Futurama will run in syndication forever. It could've been as big a moneymaker for them as The Simpsons - which basically carried the whole damn network once it went into syndication. So short sighted.
Sean K:
Yeah, but this is the same company that believes Ultra-hardcore Right Wing = Fair and Balanced.
Burrell:
No Sean, they just believe 1) Ultra-hardcore Right Wing News = Bigtime Ratings, and 2) Ultra-hardcore rightwingers like to perceive themselves as Fair and Balanced, so best to market it to them in that way. They tried the "Fox News, Undermining the Fantasy of the Liberal Media Since 1985" advertising campaign, but it didn't go over nearly so well.

Discussing female warrior garb on Stargate:
ita:
The breeze. I keep imagining the breeze in your cleavage. But ... maybe if you're fighting guys, it stops them from seeing your attacks?
I dunno. I'm certainly not trying it at krav.
Katie M:
I suppose that's the theory. I dunno. I just don't think I'd be that distractable in a life-and-death situation. I mean, between "penis! Penis pointed at me!" and "gun! Gun pointed at me!" I feel fairly confident the gun would keep my attention, even if it were a very nice penis.
On the other hand, maybe your breeze thing is on-target and it's all for ventilation.
