And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

billytea in Bitches, on Jim Steinman's music:

The turgid, overwhelming maelstrom part of the charm, while the rest of the charm clings desperately to the tiny dinghy of restraint that is being sucked inexorably into the throbbing power chords of oblivion.

If I only had a brain...

billytea keeps the hits on coming:

Yeah. I love the fact that Jim Steinman's idea of a touching ballad is The Anvil Chorus. ("I! [clang] WOULD! [clang] DO! [clang] ANYTHING! [clang] FOR! [clang] LOOOOOOOVE!!!!!! [rain of metal]") I may be enjoying it ironically, but I cannot promise this.

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

OH MY FREAKING GOD

I finally get a chance to log in and catch up, and THERE ARE BARNEY LYRICS IN THE THREAD.

Appropriately enough, in a conversation about selling out.

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

Steph L: I know it shouldn't be surprising, but -- Rick Santorum wants to penalize people who "chose not to heed the warnings" to evacuate. Pure evil.

Topic!Cindy: That's double jeopardy, man. They already kept the whole class in detention for a minimum of three days.

What is even happening?

Raq: My hurricane dream last night was that they were doing away with the number rankings and using names instead. Something smaller than a 2 would be a "Shack," while a Category 5 storm would be a "Clysm." In my dream I realized these names were chosen because they'd been abbreviating "Category" as "Cat'y," so you'd have a Cat'yShack or a Cat'yClysm.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Ponies aren't so fun if you have to buy them yourself.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Steph L: msbelle eats paste. Pass it on.

msbelle: made from the ponies that you'll never get.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Cindy, for those of us with chronic lag-behind, which thread was Frank's Cry Woobie! in?
