'Harm's Way'
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.
I hope he's better soon!
Thanks (to Cass too). He should be. He always is. I thought this was out of his reach, but I guess I was wrong.

MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) -- The Wiccan pentacle has been added to the list of emblems allowed in national cemeteries and on government-issued headstones of fallen soldiers, according to a settlement announced Monday.
Cool.
I really love that the article included this:
Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons. Variations of the pentacle not accepted by Wiccans have been used in horror movies as a sign of the devil.
because so many people have NO CLUE what wicca really is and think that they worship Satan. I love that people suspend disbelief that Jason rises from the dead 13 times, but assume that the use of a symbol with five points in a circle means satan in real life.
Joe Francis is reportedly going crazy in jail -- literally -- under the withering verbal assault of a convicted cop killer who's going wild, taunting Francis day and night with shouts of "Girls Gone Wild! Joe Francis! Whoo!"
Hee!
Ha-Ha

The recurring nature of dust and dirt as a metaphor for resurrection and transformation is an underlying theme for many of the artists below. Eliza Gagnon will be presenting a video edited from interviews she did with an astonishing range of Americans on various aspects of dust and cleaning, including 9/11 dust, cleaning and sex, cleaning and race, and favorite cleaning product smells. Like many of the artists, Merav Ezer’s work is informed by her experiences as an emigrant from her country of origin. Using a vacuum, she creates molds of personal objects such as cigarettes and high heels, preserving them.
This is the coolest part:
Bobby Zokaites rebuilds Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners for the function of painting. The algorithm that the machines use to vacuum rooms then becomes visible. The Roombas will be painting at the opening, petting is allowed.

Sources tell TMZ that even if he does get released by this judge, he may well be arrested by the county sheriff on charges of bringing drugs and cash into his jail cell, and that he may be picked up as soon as he walks out of court.
HA. Dumbass.

Oy. This is my life. I can't even express the numbers of times I've had to explain the difference between a pent-acle and a pent-agram. Stoopid devil worshipers making my life tedious. Grumble.
On the other hand, it has gotten a lot easier to explain in recent years and more people seem simply curious, rather than repelled. Then again, I'm not exactly the picture of a baby-animal slayer...so I guess I get more of a pass than some might.
Meth Mouth.
OK, while I highly doubt that I would ever have tried methamphetamines anyway (I haven't even tried pot apart from a Grateful Dead concert where I had to, y'know, breathe), that photo has just ensured that I will kick the ass of anyone who even tries to make me take the stuff.
Somehow, I think Meth Mouth is something Mush-Mouth got when he was older....
