Ginger, in B'cracy:
These things are hard to phrase. I think English needs an improbable mood as an auxiliary to the subjunctive.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

quoted article: Republicans, still adjusting to their role as the minority party, were irate Wednesday that Democrats were speeding ahead without the minority party's input.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tim does material for us in his 'verse:
Years ago I knew this actress (don’t try to figure it out, she was never on any of my shows) who purchased, er, adopted twin babies from an Eastern European country. This actress was known amongst my circle to be a particular narcissist. She seemed to approach the acquisition of these tiny human beings as she would any pricey and exclusive boutique accessory. She even considered “returning” the one she deemed the least aesthetically pleasing. Whenever showing off her new items, she always fawned and cooed over what she termed “the cute one” and would mention the other as a disappointing afterthought.
My friends -- awful writer people -- imagined a “Sophie’s Choice” scenario for her. She’s carrying the two infants and some bags onto a train. She’s told by the conductor, “You must make a choice. You may take only one.” Without hesitating, the actress thrusts the less-cute child forward, “take the ugly one.”
The conductor blinks says, “I meant you can only take one piece of carry-on luggage.”
The actress looks to her designer carry-on bags. Considers it.
Then, still holding the wriggling infant aloft says, “take the ugly one anyway.”

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It doesn't have to take a village to raise a child. Sometimes it just takes a sociopath.

Kat in Minearverse on the same topic: We have a "It takes a village..." banner in the office at school. Each time I see it I think, "Yep the entire school raises one kid. The other 2699 of you are screwed."

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Betsy showing she has Tim Minear's number:
My cat is an ex-feral kitten. He sits in my lap and is all affectionate and nice and is wonderful to be around. Until he bites my hand with no warning. Much like a script written by Tim.
