Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy Birthday, Frank!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy birthday, Frank!

Shir, I'm so glad you checked in and you're okay -- I heard about the attack this morning, and I worried.

Okay, I was trying to be keen and do some work for a meeting from home this morning. But people at work failed to tell me that they had changed the location and purpose of the meeting tomorrow. I had already booked a room! I was just about to ordering catering! Fuck!

Happy birthday Frankenbuddha!

Very glad you checked in, Shir.

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

Thanks, amych ans Sox. I wasn't sure at first if to report it in b.org.

David and Sophia, thank you for your answers. Sophia - I'm talking about a situation on which there's unclarity about the artist's state, or when it's clear he or she are abusing themselves (drug use, etc.). It's easy and great to be happy for someone you're a fan of and care about as a human being when he or she are doing well, but when they're not it's a lot harder. It seems like as a good fan, there's almost nothing you can do.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday, Frankenbuddha!

Thanks for letting us know, Shir. We have been known to worry.

Happy birthday, Frank!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Got to get motorvated soon. I'm taking the train to Maine instead of driving (I think it may be cheaper than filling my tank, and I don't need to worry about parking).

Also glad that Shir checked in.

Have a great 4th, all.
