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

Does the guy even realize that it's a humor book?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Yay, Kat! Will you actually be working on campus at UCLA? If so, we could meet up sometime when I'm there for class...

Remember that poor woman who was stoned that Joss wrote up a (brilliant) essay about? Apparently other Iraqis don't like their ways either [link] I heard about it on NPR this morning - they said Iraqis were outraged by the stoning.

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

Huh. That's a deep divot.

Ann, that's a ferret.

paperdol, you've done what you can. It's time to back away from the craxy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

paperdol, that guy is a mildly foolish ass and unworthy of your energy.

The person I really want to smite is the commenter who said something along the lines of, "Gee, I bet this is all so much more fun than the actual book (not that I've actually read it or seen it or exerted myself to have an actual informed opinion on it in any way), and I sure hope you keep posting your 'favorite bits' from it so we can all point and laugh!" Not only said that, but said it right the hell underneath a post indicating that the author in question was reading the damn thread. Way to announce to the entire universe just what a no-class, mean-spirited little cockbite you are, you little no-class cockbite.

Though I can't shake the suspicion that, in sneering at this person in a forum they don't read and calling them a cockbite, I am myself kind of a cockbite.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

JZ--you are a delight and a dollface, and therefore NOT a cockbite.

I find it odd that he seems to be spending so much time thinking/writing about paperdol's book when he says he hates it. Dude, if it doesn't entertain you, walk away. Trying to plot the timeline of paperdol's life from those essays is, at best, weird (at worst, creepy).

JZ--you are a delight and a dollface

And NOT in a freakish cat/doll dollface kind of way.

Hey! Why you gotta fence me in like that?

Also, I can't believe it, but I kind of miss the Freaky Toy and now I'm thinking of all sorts of lost opportunities and all the meatspace local friends who never got to see it and would have been so deliciously awed and repulsed by it, and now they never will, and I'm misty with regret. For the Freaky Toy. Does that seem right to you?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

They started it! Therefore, we can point and mock. I declare it so. We are just like the Mean Girls in High School who wouldn't date them on account of they had communicable lame.

John Henry makes me smile, the cranky old man. Before racing and I divorced, when I was still a regular long-time poster at some of the racing forums, I used to post with one of the women from KHP, and I miss her John stories.
