This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

Hey. New board.
In Firefly:
Steph L.:
The CHUD have a foundation now? I didn't even know they had TV....
Are they stealing the Morlocks' cable?
tommyrot:
Yes, by using their trained sewer alligators to bite off the Morlocks' cables and drag them to the CHUD saunas.
Steph:
Hell, they're organized! I had no idea. I thought the CHUD were still just roaming at random and attacking whoever was unfortunate enough to cross their path!
Do they have a health plan now?
tommyrot:
Unfortunately, they still feed their sick and injured to the alligators.
Steph:
Well, that *is* a plan, of sorts. Not a good plan, but a plan nonetheless.
And also, it's better than my HMO.

R=Cats
M=Politics and/or What I Had For Lunch (NO CROSSOVER WITH C or People Will Be Spoiled!)

Oh totally -- practically everything in the world is too complex for the layperson to understand. Electricity? MAGIC! Television? TINY PEOPLE IN A BOX!

Not just tiny people, Jesse. Elves in a box.

Wow, those are elves? They look just like regular people, only little. Huh.

If I only had a brain...
Shrift: More of a First Against the Wall When the Revolution Comes.
DXMachina: You're gonna need a bigger wall.
shrift: Think China will let me borrow theirs?
DXMachina: Will it be big enough?
Dana: I smell a road trip!
DXMachina: You'll need a theme song:
We're off on the road to the Great Wall,
To wipe out some folks we don't like.
Since we're goin', while we're goin', we can have a bash,
The odds are eight to five that we will read a lot of slash.
