I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.
Early ,'Objects In Space'
Natter Five-O: Book 'Em, Danno.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't know that series, but it wouldn't shock me if this one was a ripoff.
The Philosophy of the Simpsons, BtVS, LotR, Matrix and other pop culture subjects. AFAIK (well, what I've been told from the in-house philosopher) none of the authors of the included essays are significant philosophy personages.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hey Allyson, remember that optics catalog that had you irate? (It was Edumd Optics, yeah?)
It's just hit the AAS Committee on the Status of Women listserv.
Because I'm bored, I googled that catalog, and got this blog: [link]

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
Oh thank god. I was told I was nuts for being so mad about it.
I feel vindicated.
ION, my hands won't stop shaking. It's really really really real.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just threw out the copy the other day because it made me mad everytime I found it under a pile on my desk.

The pointed failure-to-get-the-message coming out of corporate still astonishes me.
I can't believe I'm actually hoping for snow. If only because otherwise, it's ice and that would really really suck.

My brain isn't working properly today, and I'm working on some fairly complex SQL. Or at least trying to. I'm just making mistakes left and right. I should go home, right?

Our wings are not tired.
Yes Tom, no good can come from staying at work any longer. Go home.
