Woooo nonfic's first COMM! Baby's growing up.
Victor: He's like the walking personification of asshole. If he were one of the Endless (Dream, Desire, Death, Destiny et al.) he'd be Dick.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
COMMed from Literary Buffistas on account of my actually spitting on my monitor (in this case, partially chewed popcorn, not coffee.) Slightly edited for humor.
PC: ...I thought I mostly understood cyberpunk. Well, probably not, as I think it mostly involves computers and robots and a general punkish attitude. Whereas steampunk is more the same sensibility as cyberpunk, except the computers are made of string and toast.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I hope your monitor's okay, Laga. Sorry about that.

In fact I think masticated popcorn is easier to clean up than coffee. None of it got in the keyboard!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Plus the toast doesn't get so soggy.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That reminded me to put up the earlier Literary exchange that made me laugh out loud.
Hec: 9/11 in its planning, execution and politics seemed like it came straight out of a Bruce Sterling novel to me.
Raq: I agree, and this is another reason why we should get those evil-doers. No one deserves Bruce Sterling! No one!

Cass:
Okay, Juan Pablo Montoya just won his first NASCAR race. A Columbian national, Indy 500 winner, Formula One world champion just won a NASCAR race.
I am so glad I kept watching this. Way better than a nap.
juliana:
I am sorry, but the surname Montoya is forever ruined for me.
"Hallo, my name is Juan Pablo Montoya. You have my trophy. Prepare to race."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Today in Bitches:
DavidS: People go batfuck insane during divorces and separations.
Daisy Jane: Apparently.
DavidS: The example I always remember from TT was the woman whose husband stomped out and took all the handles on the drawers in the kitchen.
Of course, there were other more horrible examples but that one always struck me for the craxy.
Daisy Jane: Well he did take her Jack Daniels and vibrator.
ETA: We're thinking of turning it into a country song.

Is anyone else watching Simon Schama's The Power of Art on PBS? Is anyone else thinking that Simon Schama desperately needs to get laid?

Someone should set him up with Sister Wendy.
