Thanks, Tep. Love you back. I think everybody was hoping they'd get theirs before the bottom fell out.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

On the other hand, can you imagine how those kids are going to rebel against their parents? Guess Who's Coming to Dinner will have nothing on that family....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ahh, there's nothing quite like a real poison pen review. The Onion satisfies as it rounds up the worst movies of the year.
Larry the Cable Guy usually gets a pass for the incredible shittiness of his movies because he’s an unfunny, obnoxious bore and no one expects any better from him. But special attention must be paid to Witless Protection, if only because this shabbily assembled turd represents an era in this country’s history that we’re (hopefully) about to leave behind.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Rom-coms 'spoil your love life'
Watching romantic comedies can spoil your love life, a study by a university in Edinburgh has claimed.
Rom-coms have been blamed by relationship experts at Heriot Watt University for promoting unrealistic expectations when it comes to love.
They found fans of films such as Runaway Bride and Notting Hill often fail to communicate with their partner.
Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.
...
The university's Dr Bjarne Holmes said: "Marriage counsellors often see couples who believe that sex should always be perfect, and if someone is meant to be with you then they will know what you want without you needing to communicate it.
So that's why none of my partners ever dressed up as Scooby Doo's Velma and said things like, "Look at that clue!"
eta: It's Velma, not Thelma. That might have been part of the trouble as well....

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

Totally. In response to this, I have decided that love doesn't actually exist. It's a much calmer place to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.
But so many problems in rom-coms are based in miscommunication! The lesson to me (and the reason I almost always dislike them) is PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE, YOU MORONS.

But if there are any to be found, I'll bet those kids will find them.

Where did meara's sister find her husband? I'm pretty sure he's a much-older black Muslim, which works pretty well...

You know how the phrase is "hurry up and wait"? This is not my paradigm. Mine is "wait, wait, wait, HURRYFASTER Why can't you go faster?!!!"
And it is making me crankier as I sit here in the wait phase.
