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.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Slightly related question: I need some cheap men's wifebeaters. Does Ross carry stuff like that? I'm not near a Target/Walmart/Kmart and department stores give me the hives.
I think so, but you could also order it from Target online.

My very next birthday falls on Emmett's! It's a bit silly, how pleased I am about this.
Cool! Next year you will share your birthday not only with Emmett, but John Coltrane (great jazz musician), Ray Charles (great soul singer), and Bruce Springsteen (great rock musician). Also Euripedes and Ani DiFranco.

How can anyone know for sure what Euripides' birthday was? That was at least 3 Western calendars ago (and also I suspect lunar, like Nilly's.)
Signed, woke up with my geek on.

There could be an International Celebrate Euripides Birthday Holiday (Traditional) among playwrights or something, I suppose. Or if his birth coincided with some eclipse or other well-dated phenomenon. Otherwise, what flea said. :-)
Now I'm going to have to check Wikipedia, you know. First thing in the morning, too. :: harumphs ::

Aha! According to Wikipedia:
According to legend, Euripides was born in Salamís on September 23 480 BC, the day of the Persian War's greatest naval battle.
That doesn't mean their 9/23 was the same as ours (not surely) but if you observe the one occasion, you might as well observe the other.

I refreshed my memory on the Athenian Calendar, and yeah, not so much like ours: [link]
Also, since Sept. 23 is the traditional date of the battle of Salamis (in 480, the year Euripides was traditionally born), it's probably a concretion of famousness. (The year he was born is disputed, there's not really much known for sure about his life.)
However, not to take away from Yay Sept. 23 Emmett Nilly next year goodness!

Yep. It's a common French gerundy suffix.
Having flashbacks to the great slayage gerund blowout.
Clive Owen defends the con-going:
How was your Comic-Con experience?
Clive: I made it out. [Laughs] I’m here. I actually, to be honest with you, I didn’t think it was as crazy as everyone built it up to be. There’s a huge amount of people that are very passionate about what they’re into and it’s a cool thing that they all come together and share it. If you’re crazy about some character in some comic book or whatever and you can go and share it, there was about 10 versions of Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner walking around that hall. And they all get together and can realize they’re not alone.
Sigh, Next he'll be admitting he like to wear a rubber glove on his head in the privacy of his own home.
