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.

Central America

It's very cheap once you get there! The mosquitoes in the Guatemalan jungle, unfortunately, may be my most enduring memory. Fortunately, we kept one of our best travel diaries on that trip, so I can refresh my recollection of some of the better things.

Punishingly Intricate

Jumping in to ask if folks have been following the spelling bee today?

There was a super cute story about a boy from Baltimore who is competing there in the Sun today. First representative from a B'more school in 25 years.

Hah, I was going to mention that article. I think the last bit was hilarious : [link]

Fellow Friends sixth-grader Spencer Brock cheered his classmate with a sign he drew on cardboard: David Rox!
"It's kind of a joke," he said. "I'm not really that bad of a speller."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dude, I *cannot* stop reading the comments on the LJ news post where people are reacting to the Poorly Planned Paedophilia Purge. It's like a train wreck that ate itself and then burst into flame.

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

I'm so glad I don't read LJ from work. Or I'd get nothing done but reading that purge stuff. And so soon after fanlib and the MJ statue and the tentacle rape cover!

Yeah, I'm on page 14. Of 22.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Dude, I *cannot* stop reading the comments on the LJ news post where people are reacting to the Poorly Planned Paedophilia Purge. It's like a train wreck that ate itself and then burst into flame.

I gave up after the first few pages - are there comments in there that go beyond the standard "Hi, I've been a paid member since dinosaurs roamed the earth and you suck for deleting my RPG community"?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Er, make that page 23.

There's someone from Halifax competing. Go Amrit!

I am so not going to read that. I suspect reading it will make me want bonk the heads of everyone in the known universe.
