I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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

I scar so crappily that it would be silly. And then there are some people that heal really well--theirs might even disappear.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Same here, though I find it way interesting.

I can't not click on any body-mod link. It's a sickness.

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

Sumi! Get in here with some damn puppies! STAT!

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

Hint: it's photos of a man with a 22 pound facial tumor. The pictures are somewhat grosser than that description implies....

Tommy, not 22lb but 22kg! Poor man. Such misery.

Nah. Previously it was 23 kg, but a lot of that was removed last year. It looks like the pictures are all after that surgery and show him with the current 10kg tumor.

Trust my rage

Or perhaps I still haven't gotten over reading the description of Two Girls One Cup, and nothing else can seem scarifying in light of that.

Over Christmas, I was in the car with Joe, my brother, his wife, and my dad. We were talking about some serial killer who had a fetish for videotaping women while going to the bathroom. My brother then started to say, "You know....never mind, I'm not even going to go there."

I asked him, "Two Girls, One Cup?"

"Yep."

See, even though I was scared for life just reading about that link, now I'm extra hip with my totally connected little brother.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ok. I need some help. My friend announces the Dead Man of the Year on his blog every year. He says

I'm not sure if you read this year's DMOTY yet, but Hartnell was one of the runners-up. Damn it all, though... I still haven't had a woman DMOTY. I've had runners up that were women, but no winners. I figure if I just MAKE it a woman simply due to gender that's as bad as insisting that it be a man, so I try to be fair with each award. We'll see.

I said

Now, here's the part where I get slightly preachy. I agree that having a woman just because she's a woman is redic. However, it wouldn't be *just* because she's a woman. Obviously there was something that made her a runner up-so it wouldn't be based on gender alone. Secondly, I think there are some inherent biases that prevent you (or me, for that matter) from being completely objective. You're going to recognize and relate to characterisics in a man more readily and easily than you would a woman. Maybe try to make one of your female runners up DMOTY and see if she doesn't stack up.

He says

Maybe in most men, but not me. There were runners up that were female the past two years. The thing is that I had to recognize the person fairly. It's not as if I shunned the women in any way. I think if you look at the Runners Up for 2006 and 2007 you'll see a lot of quality commemoration on them. However, for example, to me the biggest splash in entertainment of 2006 was in relation to Superheroes. Superman was the first superhero, and he was all over entertainment in 2006, he was created by two men. I honored them both. 2005 was linked heavily to King Kong. It was an unlikely candidate, but Obie won (pun intended). There may have been influences over 2007's world of entertainment that were more noteworthy than Phil Hartman's by women, but not any that were actually Dead, which, by definiton, is a requirement.

I want to fight back with examples, but I'm blanking.
