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.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
McSweeney's lists of 20 potential Democratic and 20 potential Republican presidential candidates.
Democrats:
BARACK OBAMA
Pro: Articulate; resembles foxy actor Blair Underwood.
Con: L.A. Law was kind of overrated now that you think about it.
OPTIMUS PRIME
Pro: Size; power; ability to emit short-range optic blasts.
Con: Potential attack ad: "Sometimes Optimus Prime is a robot, other times a truck. Which is it, Mr. Prime? America deserves a leader that doesn't transform whenever it's convenient."
BONO
Pro: Knowledgeable about global health issues; everyone seems to like him; Joshua Tree album.
Con: Too busy hugging everyone to actually execute the duties of office; no one likes the sound of "Vice President the Edge" or "Secretary of Health and Human Services Larry Mullen Jr."; the whole "Zoo TV" thing.
Republicans:
JOHN MCCAIN
Pro: Comforting resemblance to character actor Gavin MacLeod.
Con: Murray from The Mary Tyler Moore Show lacked leadership qualities and Captain Stubing from Love Boat got a little goofy whenever Charo was a guest star, leaving executive branch vulnerable to Charo impersonators who are actually Al Qaeda operatives.
But they're all great....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, do you think a glue-stick is going to help stop the run in my tights?
PS: TIGHTS! I'm annoyed that it's 50 degrees out.

move out and draw fire
I like this one, and I bet sarameg will too:
BILL RICHARDSON
Pro: Appeals to all Latino voters with the last name "Richardson."
Con: New Mexico is legally part of Mexico; therefore, he's constitutionally ineligible.

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

No, it'll just be icky.
Mmm. Tights.

Too late! I think it's OK, though.
I love tights, I do. But not when it's supposed to be summer! Or at least not freezing.

You know what I don't like? Firefox. I give up. I'm off to install Opera. I'll deal with opening a new application when sites aren't compatible. Clicking on a link and then backtracking to a page that's a) reloaded and b) scrolled back to the top? Who thought those were both good ideas? Especially b?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Huh. Firefox doesn't do that to me.

Yeah, the scrolling back to the top thing is what made me not like Firefox.

I remember both behaviours coming up in discussion of board behaviour. When I mark a post in Opera, for instance, it keeps me right at the post I marked. But there was a push to change the code so that when a post was marked you were given the page with that post as the first one. Personally, I hate that. Much of the time when I mark a post I don't want any more posts deemed read than at that very moment. But people said their browsers dumped them back at the top of the page. So it went in.
Also, if I start composing a post in Opera and then follow a link from this page, when I back up, the text is still there. I know other people get posts eaten this way, and I remember tommyrot posting an extension for Firefox that warns you if you try and navigate away from a page with unposted data. I'd assumed that was because the text got lost on reload.
Still, either way, Firefox is out and Opera is in. I gave it almost two months. No love.
