OMG, juliana! I'm ten minutes from the end. Riggins is pain. He knows nothing else.
Matt and Julie! Tami and Eric! I love this show so damn much.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Much jobma to ND. Plus, it'll be cool to be able to say, "As my friend ND the tenured professor said the other day..." much as it was cool to be able to say, "As my friend ita, the MOON said the other day..."
FNL slays me. Mrs. Coach kills me and makes me want to call my mom to apologize for...well everything teenage me did. And yeah, Tim's fuckhead dad "Watch how easy this is." Poor boy gets smacked around like whoa.

Why the fuck am I still awake? I have to get up in less than 7 hours. Stupid something.
But, yeah, now I wish I'd taped FNL. I watched it, but I'd actually (shocking really) like to rewatch stuff. Like Tami losing it talking to Julie. And then her and Coach. So lovely.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Stop me from posting at the physics blog again. Please. You're my electric family. Intervene.

Hey, I've already done it twice and once with the dreaded "I said that somewhere else" shtick. So um. Go to bed?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Allyson, the people who are pissing you off will continue to piss you off and will and no point, hand to god, suddenly turn around and post "Wow! You're right! I totally see how that objectifies women and would make a woman working in that field feel uncomfortable. There is a patriarchal society that makes assumptions based on sex! I was stupid not to see it before." They will continue to sit there and be wrong in their wrongness.
Hope that helps!

Allyson, it's not worth the aggrevation anymore. You'll dilute your point. They don't deserve any more of your spicy brains.
sara, I'm just about ready to go in for a rewatch. You're more than welcome to come on over. DJ, I'm slain right along with you.
Edited for pointed overuse of the word "point."

...and I just read the comments that I'm sure provoked you and now I'm saying...I'm going to bed. I fucking hate the "oh, it's harmless because it doesn't do anything to ME" response when it's already been stated that it is a fucking problem for a fuckload of others. And it is nearly one ay em and... erm.

Allyson, I'm going to point at what DaisyJane said, especially. You won't get them to change their minds, and (as MFNlaw point out), they don't deserve more of your brilliance.

You know, I hadnt thought once about getting them to change their minds.
I mostly thought about going brain damage on them and making them cry.
I'm sure I could.
But then, you know, I don't do that anymore.
Because while it makes me feel better, it usually makes innocent bystanders feel like crap.
I'm trying to keep my inner troll in check.
