Crime drama, with cicadas:
Vortex: And there were several dead cicadas in the stairwell.
tommyrot: Did you draw their outlines with white chalk?
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Tommyrot begins to formulate his religion:
I'll have to get myself ordained tomorrow, as I must go to bed. In the meantime, I need to work on my commandments. Here's what I've come up with so far:
1: Don't fuck shit up.
2: Don't be such a fucking idiot.
3: Be especially nice to cats.

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
Tommyrot: Well in America you're free to buy fruit and do whatever you want with it in the privacy of your home.
(Except, you know, use fruit to commit murder or other crimes of violence. Or, um, use fruit to print money. Or write state secrets on fruit and scan the fruit into a computer and email the image to foreign powers.)

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Heh. It's tommyroll for brunch then?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes! I pull off the COMM hat trick. Or 3-peat. Or something.
Anyway, it's cool.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
A discussion in Literary.
msbelle: Can someone give a short definition of southern gothic?
how about midwestern gothic?
Polter-Cow: Incest. Lots of incest.
Lilty Cash: This is horrible, but all that I can imagine is that couple standing in front of the farmhouse with the pitchfork.
Fred Pete: how about midwestern gothic? Like Southern Gothic, but people pronounce their r's.
Vortex: - dysfunctional. lots of family secrets, usually involving affairs and/or illegitimate children and/or incest (or all three). Lots of sneaking around in the kudzu and the sounds of crickets in the darkness. At some point, someone sits in a rocking chair on a porch and fans themselves.
juliana: - Can someone give a short definition of southern gothic? Spooooky, y'all.
edit: Thank goodness Vortex came in with an actual definition. :)
So, like Eugene O'Neill, but with more lurking?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
My first foray into COMM:
Gus (in Natter):
Here is the thing about grass skirts for men who are long of limb. Since the skirt comes to about mid-thigh, you are convinced that any unfortunate posture will reveal your Johnson.* Any man who really does have "Oh, my mid-thigh is showing, thus my Johnson" problems in real life should report to Porn Central for immediate employment.

Our wings are not tired.
I need to add the * explanation for the above..
*completely evitable digression number #45609: Why is a man's member commonly given a euphemism that sounds vaguely English in origin? Mine is not in the least bit mannered, overly polite, or reticent.
Same message from Gus in Natter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bitches, discussing Black Canary's cry:
Cabil: A sonic cry, a high decibel sound set at the frequency to upset the human nervous system.
billytea: It's pretty easily upset. It is, after all, a nervous system.

The status is NOT quo.

non-spoilery about the Angel finale:
Am in fact broken by tv. But good broken. In a horrible way.
Joss, as expected, you've paper-cut me, poured salt in the wound, gave me an indian burn, paddled my ass, and pushed me face down in the mud.
Thank you sir, may I have another?
