Heh. It's tommyroll for brunch then?
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

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?

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Vortex in Natter:
The UPS and FedEx guys at the same time are a lucky happenstance. The copier repairman makes it officially porn.
Funny in context, even better without.

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
Frankenbuddah: You'd think Wesley would have stolen a copy of the Evil Overlord guide during his time at W & H. (vaguely spoilery for Angel finale)

Raquel: billytea, a cool side effect of the cicadas is that more bird species are more prevalent here than normal.
billytea: Excellent. One of my favourite DC memories is of a cardinal, full of righteous indignation, defending his territory from the rival cardinal currently kicking up a fuss just on the other side of that SUV's rear view mirror. I like to think he won a moral victory.
Let me make clear that I don't mean a Catholic potentate. Though that would take it from one of my favourite DC memories to one of my favourite memories of all time.
And from the "How sad that he said it/ How sad that I laughed" department:
Noise Design: Someone just paid for the F2F through paypal and it's a name and email I don't recognize.
billytea: I hope it's Mentok. OooooOOOOOooooo.
