Why, is it pot related?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Better living through chemistry. Profoundly unsafe, but not for work. For life.

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
on Bones: How do the powers that be know that Angela is married (yet not divorced) without knowing the name of the guy?

Trudy: I'm not sure, but there has been talk about the officiant in Fiji having had records--which have been destroyed. I got the impression that the State Department has records but never showed them to her. That's a good point, though, hadn't thought about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why, is it pot related?
Ha. It should have been -- that would have been less stupid than the actual reason.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Am sitting here eating the M&Ms I got as a favor at the rehearsal dinner.(They have the bride & groom's names on them- ok, shortened versions of the names)

When I got my transcript a few years ago, there were classes I would have sworn I'd never taken.
Oh, that totally happened to me. History of Philosphy? Seriously?
Then there's the summer course I took on the French Revolution. I spent three hours every day for three weeks frantically writing pages notes while our prof. lectured at quite a clip. Then I vomitted everything back in one midterm and one exam. What do I remember? Soemthign about meeting on a tennis court... I think I retained more from watching a production of Marat/Sade.

My niece is going to be Cinderella [link] for Halloween and I'm thinking of sending a costume for my nephew. What could be be that would coordinate?
A pumpkin?
Eeee! With wheels on the side, so that he's her carriage!
What a great idea! Alas, he will be Cinderella's monkey friend instead.

Astronomy, that class was an offshoot of Basketball Physics (the physics class so easy even the basketball players could pass),
See, many THINK this when they sign up for Astro 110 at my dad's U. It is so much not the case. Basic algebra is required and all of the department members are kinda hardasses (and my dad is the cantankerous hardass.) Many of the students react as if it was an extreme injustice. Which just gets them heaped with scorn. I'm continually surprised that it still has the "easy" rep. (Though, um, I thought it was easy when I took it in high school. However, I was raised on the stuff, so I pretty much already knew the material.)
My mom was a horrible student her first 2 years. She took the "get plenty of sleep before a test" to heart. So much so that she replaced studying with sleep. Needless to say, she flunked a lot. Then she moved out with her sisters to help care for the twin nephews and learned some study skills.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Basketball Physics (the physics class so easy even the basketball players could pass)
I think all universities have one class like that. I can't remember what the actual course was at NU because I never took it (being in the School of Speech and having no math requirement), but it was widely known among the CAS students as Math For Trees.
