Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Are there any supervillains or superheros named "The Platypus"?

A good friend of mine from college was nicknamed Platypus for reasons that are lost in the mists of time. I don't want to guess about his good/evil affiliations for fear of offending him.

Wallytea! Or Billybee! =YAY! (I too cracked up over the announcement.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats Billytea & Wallybee. And how much do I love that your announcement comes only at the end of a long discourse on evolutionary biology and reproductive strategies?

Hee. Context is important, I feel.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want one of these:

I do too! I would be getting it for DC though, and Vortex bought one, so I bought these instead. [link]

Whoa! Red Sox are mounting a furious comeback. Down 7-0 in the 8th and facing elimination, they've scored 6 runs.

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

I would be getting it for DC though

Why DC? Looks like reasonable NorCal wear.

I was thinking I already have enough coats that are okay for here.

You make a good point though.

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

I have no long coats of that weight. But now's not the time.
