Rick:
I often wonder why Biblical literalists aren't surprised that the book is so confusing and contradictory. I mean, would a supreme being really have such a limited grasp of rhetoric? If the Bible was written by God, then we can all be grateful that God never took a job writing technical manuals or instructions for programing VCRs.
On the ethics of cloning, in Bitches:
tommyrot: What would happen if you went to a dog-cloning company and said, "Here's my dog's blood - please clone it," only you give them human blood?
Fay: Wow.
The world's first honest-to-god human son of a bitch.
(I read that as "the ethics of cloning Bitches." Maybe I should ingest some caffeine STAT.)
Frankenbuddha: Despite Dork!Angel and Googoogahgah!Angel, it's always going to be a fact that Angel with a soul locked a bunch of humans in with a couple of vampires and let them get slaughtered. Damn, I miss my shows.
connie neil: He has his foibles. He doesn't much like lawyers, and at the heart of him, he's not a very nice guy, especially when you fuck with him.
billytea: As Buffy found out to her regret.
Cass: I've been riding English since getting back to it.
I grew up more Westen (for lessons) and bareback (what I ended up riding most of the time recreationally) but English seemed logical if I ever want to get back to the bareback.
Tried a hunt saddle last week which was waaaay better for the way I apparently ride. Felt a little like I was getting pitched forward today. It's this weird combination of total muscle memory and occasionally having no clue what I am doing. Posting thoughtfully combines the two.
sarameg: I have a head cold. You know, one of those things where your soft palate (I think that's the term) feels swollen and one sinus is upset, but it manages to make you eyes water and the muscles in your neck hurt? yeah that.
I get on a plane tomorrow. To go infect relatives, apparently.
Fay, in Fanfiction:
I happened across a misplaced apostrophe in a menu at a famous coffee shop in York the other day, and was all "Eeek! Do I get my pen out?" and Mum and WeeSister stopped me. This led to a discussion of punctuation, in which my sister put forward the suggestion that we should just get rid of apostrophes.
Captain Rational abandoned my tugboat at this point, and was eaten by sharks.
Lilty Cash in Bitches:
Yikes. I just told my Microsoft Money budget about the pay cut. It sent me a Howler.
Number Nattering turns to porn. Predictably.
ita: 25 is so ... boring. 17's wild, unpredictable and flexible. Okay, NSM with the flexible.
shrift: Which is why we have flexible 17-year-olds.
ita: In Michigan. In California we have flexible 18-year-olds.
