Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
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.
BTW, has Trek ever had a gay character?
As others have mentioned, Star Trek has played with the concept but never had a character. Though I give Babylon 5 the award for "best playing with the concept" -- on one ep whose name escapes me, two male characters (whose names also escape me) went undercover to spy on Earth's plans. Their cover -- a honeymooning just-married couple.
Someone seems to be unclear on the concept. The whole point of bumper cars is to bump back at all the people who have bumped you, literally and otherwise.
Thank you. People who get pissy about being bumped while they are driving bumper cars are a bit of a peeve of mine.
Getting blocked into a "corner" by your friends so you can't move IS dickish behavior, but bumping is what ride is for.
I. Am. Such. A. Dork.
I'm just glad you beat me to posting about Lt. Hawk, so that you got to be the dork instead of me.
Oh, wait...

Well, see, I actually don't want to be mad about it. Which is why I avoid the bumper cars and ride on those old-fashioned cars on a track, which are much more fun to me. But sometimes, when you are a teenager, people push you into things against your better judgement!
re: GA at shows, I found that going with a fellow former rugby player helps immensely. smonsterbite and I schooled some idiot boys during the Billy Talent set, just by setting stance and leaning.
My brother has high iron in his blood and had to go get "bled" regularly for a while. Now it is less often, but we joked alot about the bloodletting there for a while.
This is me! Minus the bloodletting yet.
Oi. I can't find the info on renewing my credential which expires in July 09. It's my understanding that I no longer need to submit professional development hours. But I can't find the name of the Assembly Bill that says that.
Why yes. I am procrastinating.
But I had a potato ball from Porto's for breakfast. Nom nom nom.
My poor new coworker accidentally sent me a personal email meant for someone else (clearly, it was in another language.) I let him know, but I KNOW it will embarrass him.
Ah, the dangers of autofill...
There's a 90201 zip code in Jerusalem. Few friends came up with the thought to start shooting there.
Is it bad that I read this and thought like, bullets shooting? And wondered what that would accomplish?
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. It can be somewhat claustrophobic and unpleasantly intimate.
Or you could go to Portland. Where the MC says "you know, the people in the back can't really see. How about everyone in front sits down on the floor?" and they DO. I was so dismayed and disgusted.

well, at least he can be comforted that you couldn't read it.
Personally, the above whitefonted stuff doesn't squick me at all, but I whitefonted just to be safe....
I can live with that I think, but this [link] freaks my shit out.
My GA advice is useless, the three times I've done it I got barricade and just hung on when the shoving started. Each time, though, I told small women behind me that if they felt like they were getting knocked over they could grab onto me. They did it more than occasionally.
