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.

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

So I was trying to find my seat on the plane, and I can't figure out where the seat #s are. Finally I discover I'm too tall tos ee them without bending over.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The knowledge that Joe and Aimée are in Michigan feels weird. I hope the best transition possible for you guys.

Tired as hell. Taught two intense classes with a lot of screaming. Uh, on my part. And they loved it! Did a killer kettlebell workout while protecting my shoulders. I think that makes it harder. Am dead, but must ice forthwith. Luckily I have a crapload of TV to doze off in front of. Ah, TiVo. I love ya.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Musical fans, help me out!

What do you call a song in a musical that's just there to serve the libretto? Kind of an exposition song? The kind of songs which are never the break out pop hits. Is that called a "book song"? Or something else?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Does the Hivemind know where I can order cheap votive holders for a wedding? I need about 100.

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

Hec, "book song" works for me but I can't find anything to back that up.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
