Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Er, it may have been embroidery floss. Some kind of floss, anyway.

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

That's pretty funny-I was thinking homo superior, but that's from the X-Men, not David Bowie.

Happy anniversary Laura!

And all hopes for a simple procedure for your kitty, Kristin.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Emily - funny story you'll like.

This weekend I spent knocking on doors in Ypsilanti getting neighborhood support for one of our projects. I knock on one door and this guy answers. I do a double take at him because I *know* I know him. And I tell him so. He hesitates and says, "Uh, well, I'm Bob." I jump and say, "YES! Bob Dunaj! I'm Joe's wife! You were at my wedding!" He says, "Yeah! Come in and meet my new wife." I do.

He married Kathi Krater. HOW NUTS IS THAT!!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Okay, I totally went there, too.

He married Kathi Crater. HOW NUTS IS THAT!!

"Krater", baby.

This says the bottom lip should be 1.5x the size of the top lip. It makes me wonder explicitly what all those women are doing wrong to their lips. I mean, my bottom lip is noticeably smaller than my top, so you'd think in isolation from the rest of their features they mightn't look so bad. But they do. I guess it's the ratio of the width to the height as well, then.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That's pretty funny-I was thinking homo superior, but that's from the X-Men, not David Bowie.

I suspect Bowie was implying...something else than the X-Men were.

Also, can one of the grammar people explain if that was the right "than" to use and when you use "then" instead? They both are looking wrong (and may indeed both be the wrong word entirely)

Um. I can only think of one Kathi -- is that her? Or do I know her? I'm very confused.

Bob, on the other hand -- GI Joe!

Yes it was. "Then" implies time or causation -- this happened then that happened, if this then that. "Than" is comparative. Off the top of my head.
