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.

Ooh! It's genre bingo on BBCA tonight. You need to crossover between Heroes and BSG, use Jamie Bamber and Sendhil Ramamurthy appearing together in Ultimate Force.

Along with Annie from Life on Mars. Pretty damned tidy, if you ask me.

Congratulations, BigD! Between a best friend and a sister I almost got talked into procreating (kids who are great grandkids of Duke Ellington and not actually raised by me have their appeal) yesterday but I snapped out of it before it was...well, it's not like I've met the putative father. Still. You never know how these things can develop if you're not careful.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

My older brother and I agree it's sooo bizarre that our baby brother is the one having a kid first (I say baby but he's 25 now.)

Still I've got this great feeling of accomplishment having done relatively nothing (no pun intended). I think I'll be the uncle that gives musical instruments (read: drums).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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

Awesome headline:

Randy monkeys wash hands, feet in urine

"So we think the alpha males might use urine-washing to convey warm, fuzzy feelings to females, that their solicitation is working and that there's no need to run away," Miller said. "Or they could be doing it because they're excited."

I almost think that should be whitefonted, but hey, it's science.

that sounds like either a really really strong drink or a card game though I'm not sure which

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. That's an old tradition. Trudy's one of the few that still carry it on. It used to take us much longer to get through posts, and it would be something of a badge of honor to hit large round number posts, like Trudy's 3000. We'd all scamper in our chatter to try to get the number, and would triumphantly declare "Numberslut" and then, of course, later "Number Companion!" with our (generally contentless) posts.

These days we just fly through the posts, so it's not as crazy a deal, although we do still aim for the 10,000 post, after which the thread automatically rolls over and plays dead, until an admin wanders by to set up the new one. Either that or we kill the thread in haiku. Or puns.

And then, we're number geeks, so sometimes we aim for apparently meaningless combinations of numbers.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

Back when I was a Slam Poet I actually competed in the SE Regional Haiku Slam. Haikus are too much fun.

One thing I like about this place is the quirks and oddities.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think we're made entirely of quirks and oddities.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Big D's a slamming man. One of our old school Buffistae, Victor, is and has been for a long time, active in slams and poetry.

The status is NOT quo.

Along with his lovely wife, thessaly.

I'm not here, in case anyone was wondering.
