Okay it is currently 12 degrees COOLER in Las Vegas, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT, than it is here.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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.

Acutal comment received by my boss from a big wig this morning.
"Brenda was excellent to work with on BS."
Now, in this case that happens to be just the initials of the client in question. Which is not to say he didn't stumble on a bit of deeper truth there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
GEOFFREY MILLER is a man with a theory that, if true, will change the way people think about themselves. His idea is that the human brain is the anthropoid equivalent of the peacock's tail. In other words, it is an organ designed to attract the opposite sex. Of course, brains have many other functions, and the human brain shares those with the brains of other animals. But Dr Miller, who works at the University of New Mexico, thinks that mental processes which are uniquely human, such as language and the ability to make complicated artefacts, evolved originally for sexual display.
The study on altruism mentioned in the article was fascinating.

On my way to get some delicious beautiful food, I got caught in a gaggle of Spanish-speaking tourists wearing bejeweled cowboy hats.

Oooh, thanks for the Flight of the Conchords link, bon. I was just showing Emmett some clips including "Albi the Racist Dragon" and "Too Many Motherfuckers, Fucking Up My Shit" the other day.
OOH! Season 2 of the Muppet Show came out on DVD yesterday!
Also Rome S2 and Slings and Arrows S3 (a little while back) and something else I wanted to report but can't recall. Something we'd like!
Also also, there was some Canadian show with Callum Keith Rennie and the guy who played Darrin Nichols on Slings and Arrows that seemd to be worth mentioning. But I can't mention it because I can't recall the title.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
