You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The thing that strikes me about Susan's quote is the conflation of the Continental Congress/Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention/Constitution.

And while there may be some arguments that "tyranny" wasn't an inappropriate word, those arguments would relate more to taxes imposed by a Parliament to which the colonists couldn't send representatives and the actions of a King who, unlike his recent predecessors, actually tried to be a political power in his own right. In other words, increased responsibility without increased power, not so much religion.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh, hey, I know I've been intermittent on posting, so forgive me if it's already been posted, but I just read that erinaceous' (and my agent, kate's) dad passed away in February. Did we do cards or anything? I don't have erinaceous' address to send a card, can someone who sees her pass one along if I send it?

I feel terrible, I just didn't know.

Is your wife still slumped over the table, crying with laughter?

That's just too perfect.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

"That was my butt! My butt is talking!"

Reminds me of that Em story, what was it? "NO! IT WAS MY BUTT!" I still laugh at that.

ION, I know several people here enjoy comfy shoes - do people know about these Clark's shoes that benefit AIDS orphans in Africa.

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

That poem is totally filthy. Kudos.

I overslept with a vengeance today. Woke up at 10:20, no idea what I did to the alarms. I don't have a good plan yet. I'm not sure where to get one.
