Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's why I don't go to concerts, although I really wanted to see the Honda Civic Tour here in Rochester. Amy went, and she told me there was actually emptyish fixed seating, ao I think I would have been fine.

I also hate bumper cars, except when I can drive around without being bumped. Being bumped makes me angry, and then I can't enjoy the little car!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Tommy! I mean, that's great.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We were crammed into a Strokes show in London when a guy right behind us yelled, "MIND YOUR BACKS!" Which is apparently British for "I'm sorry, if you don't move quickly, I'm going to barf all over you."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Unless you go to a venue with fixed seating or go to a show featuring a less popular artist, that's the way it is here, too

I go to see as many shows as I financially can (2-3 per month), but it was the first show that I felt cornered by the crowd (Something isn't right with the structure of this sentence, and I can't figure it out. Oh work, I lothe thee).

I'm going to Honda Civic on Friday!

If there's fixed seating, I think you'd be safe going to concerts, provided you stay in your seat after the show for a little while or leave early to avoid the crush of humanity exiting the theater.

My General Admission experiences are more positive than negative, of course, or else I wouldn't keep buying the tickets.

Yeah, sometimes you just get a crowd that doesn't work with or respect your personal boundaries. I'd rather deal with a circle pit developing next to me than people who won't stop feeling me up.

Aw -- George Takei is getting married, too! [link]

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

Aw -- George Takei is getting married, too!

Go, Captain Sulu!

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

Go, Captain Sulu!

There might be a "...where no man has gone before" joke in there....

BTW, has Trek ever had a gay character? I vaguely remember gay rights activists complaining about the lack of gay characters when ST:TNG was on.

Google thinks I'm a spammer. I'm not amused.
