Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here  

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.

Maintenance was in my apartment today. I only know this because there were lights on that I don't use and they'd moved a chair from in front of the utility closet. I wish they'd left a note. I fear they may have tried to "fix" the unit (for the billionth time) when really they need to replace the damned thing. I'll have to go ask tomorrow.

In other infrastructure news, I'm waiting for one of the roads I commute on to collapse. It's had one water main leak running for over a week now. And seams further down the hill are leaking too. It creeps me the hell out, because the road in front of my house collapsed due to a water main break. A car drove over it, scraped on a bit of swollen road and as soon as it passed, GLURP. A carsized section of road sank into a 10 foot deep hole. Kinda want to avoid witnessing that again.

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

I got the new covers.

They're not really saying anything to me.

And they need to stop with the word "geekdom" in the subtitle. I don't even think it needs a subtitle.

The cover with the pink marshmallow peeps with blood moustaches in a puddle of blood was very Jilli, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

An article made for billytea: Solving the Mystery of Ducks' Genitalia (NYT). [link]

That is fantastic. There should be more articles like this. "Dr. Brennan was oblivious to bird phalluses until 1999." And the Argentinian lake duck gets in (so to speak) as world champion! But there's no mention of the homosexual mallard necrophiliac rapist. It seems a glaring omission.

Wait, they don't want to use the mouse one or what? Or are these more possibilities?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Make note of the ingredients in the facemask so you can avoid them at all possible costs in the future. And treat like everyone says.

Seriously -- yikes!

Good luck with the food stuff, Burrell....

And Yay for Stephanie!

I forget what else.

They don't want to use the mouse.

I'm sort of at a loss, just because the subtitle makes me so nuts.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But I like the mouse.

The mouse is on my wall at work.

Tell them the lurkers support you in email!

OK, not helpful. Hrm.

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

Timelies all!

Finally catching up.(I went to a concert last night directly from work, so there were a good number of posts here when I got on tonight)

G's on another business trip, so I had my usual for dinner.(Frozen "light" dinner - vegetable masala) Followed by Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee which is a little too sugary.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Should we start an online petition in support of the mouse?
