Just FTR, the above conversation began with:
Gud: I think the real competition is can a Sci-Fi show pull in bigger ratings than an inexpensive new reality show where, I dunno, four attractive people and a couple of goats are locked in a bagel shop.
Sue: I say the goats are the only ones to come out alive, but scarred.
JZ:
Also, an update (though nobody asked for one) on yesterday's licking posts:
When the gentleman in question found out that I'd been talking online about licking people, he actually wanted to know whom I'd been licking. I said, "Uh, you. Who else would I lick?" And it turned out that he has no recollection whatsoever of being licked. He was so overwhelmed by the flirty flirtiness of my approach that the actual licking slid right under his radar; his exact words were "With all that flirting, you could've stepped on my toes and gotten the same response from me," thereby conclusively proving that licking is not only an effective seduction technique, but one which induces total amnesia in the lick-ee. I can hardly wait to put this new power to corrupt and evil use.
I'll try to have a full report on the effectiveness and memorability of the toe-stomping method of seduction by next week.
Shrift: "Clark, I want to suck your pie," Lex said, his voice low.
Jacqueline: Slowly, dizzily, Clark slid his pie into Lex's picnic.
Heather: What Joss hath brought together...
Billytea: Let no man put asunder, for Tim getteth mightily pissed off if thou hornest in on his gig.
DavidS - in Firefly discussion:
Hated the opening theme song.
Come listen to a story
about a crew in outerspace
Poor li'l brigands
could barely feed their face
Then one day they were stealing from a train
Up through the score come a twangy refrain
Space that is...AstroWhores...Western Stars...
