And the vicar had to have it removed SURGICALLY. That's a hell of a fall.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

"But -- "there shouldn't be any reason why we couldn't move around in time like we can move around in space" is just wrong. There's a perfectly good reason, namely that there is only one direction of time, while there is more than one direction of space."
This was what I was thinking but didn't say anything because I thought it maybe sounded simplistic or dumb or something! Also I couldn't think of a good analogy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We might need to change our sub-head in Natter from:
"Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics?"
to
"Wanna talk about Vicar potatoes, puppycam or physics?"
In fact, I propose as a matter of general usage, to be promulgated throughout the culture the phrase "Vicar Potatoes" to be applied to any outlandish assertion completely lacking in credibility.
"Awww, that's just a bunch of Vicar potatoes!"

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
I think the arrow-of-time problem is why my head explodes when i watch Terminator movies.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think it's cool that positrons (the anti-matter equivalent of electrons) go backwards in time. Or at least that's one interpretation.

See, to me this sounds like a food discussion.
"How would you like your vicar potatoes?"
