Thanks, Fred Pete!

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

...So nobody else went to a Brave New World place with "pneumatic tubes"?
Oh, the instant I read I thought "Just what kind of pneumatic tubes are we talking?" so I hope there's room for two in the gutter.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Pneumatic tubes would be awesome. I feel like having messengers take four hours to bring a diskette from the 13th to the 15th floor is a step backward. Not that that doesn't happen TO ME ALL THE TIME.

Our wings are not tired.
Yep, the candidate that promises more cabana boys and pneumatic tubes gets my vote every time.

House: Cameron needs slugged so very, very much. I volunteer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
House: If Daddy was using testosterone cream, why did the little girl have too much estrogen? Also, could that really happen? At all?

House: Wilson shocked House! Twice! And was he telling the truth? Perhaps Cuddy isn't pregnant yet?

Because books.
Happy birthday, Sheryl! Peach martinis are an awesome substitute for cake! (Although peach martinis AND cake would be best, in my world.)
House: I have to say, the medicine in this one seems a lot more questionable than usual, which is saying something. There have to be lots of dads out there using that kind of stuff, and I'm not hearing about any strange reports of accelerated puberty all over the country.
Still, Cameron got groped by an eight-year-old, House asked Wilson if he thought the play was a date, AND House asked Cuddy out! That was worth the price of admission.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My embarassing display of the evening, discovering I was in the Wrong Crowd: Somehow, we were talking about fat cats, and I said, "Do you know the website Tomato Nation?" No. "It's one of the women from Television Without Pity?" Still blank looks. "Anyway, there's this site, and she just posted a picture of her cat, and he's REALLY FAT." Um, OK.
Of course, I had already started a conversational gambit with "Did you ever see Beauty and the Geek?" Luckily, one person had.
This is why I don't like new people!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I worked in an office in Boston that still used pneumatic tubes. The coolest! Though it was a little startling at first to hear the fwump! cwomp of an arriving delivery behind you.
And, as I've noted before, there's a bar in Milwaukee that sends its martini through a pneumatic tube system.
