Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

“Not dead yet!”

Weep all of you who don't have a Porto's!

I'm weeping, I'm weeping. And while I'm normally a purist when it comes to my Cuban-style sandwiches (I cringe at the Stuckey's on the highway up here that claims to sell "Cuban sandwiches"-- they look scary.) the Medianoche with croquettes look like pure love with the added artery clogging bonus!

I love, love, love croquettes like little else, food-wise. I introduced my gringo husband to croquettes and to the joys of croquettes and fried eggs on huge slabs of fresh Cuban bread.

Waaaahhhhhh... I wanna go to Porto's now. I am Very Sad we don't have anything like this here in Jax. Heathen locale.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I loves me some Dirty Sexy Money. I'm almost glad it's canceled because it's the kind of show that probably couldn't sustain its over-the-topness indefinitely. I don't think I could keep on being shocked every episode for more than a couple seasons.

I have some thinky gender stuff about it, but I dunno that it means to be the sort of show to have gender discussions about it.

And wait, what potato balls? Hachimitsu boro? 'Cause I loved those as a child too. There's a photo of me with two handfuls of them and an open bag nearby, leaving me with the clear dilemma of how to get more without dropping the ones I have.

Because books.

Oh my good god, really?

The comments are pretty much priceless.

Damn it, I cannot get this link to work. How do you do the quick link rather than the HTML?

Amy, in reference to what?

Also, yes. Porto's is dreamy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Total dilemma.

This article, Kat. Which just ... sort of boggles. I mean, hey, great if it happens for you, but I cannot name a time I wanted to be kissed and/or caressed less, and I've given birth three times now.

Ah! So that's how you do it.

Oh Amy. HA. Fucking HA!

I think part of the article neglects to recognize that many women orgasm through clitoral stimulation not penetration.

Exactly. And the stimulation of a slimy bowling pressing on it? NOT THE RIGHT KIND.

Yes. I snarled reading that article. I mean, if it happens while you are birthing, so much for the awesome, I assume. But let's not pretend that penis + vagina is the be all and end all of female orgasm.

Watching back-to-back episodes of DSM makes me feel a little nauseated. I think I'll purge it with an episode of 30 Rock.
