Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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

Apparently I should not have read the synopses of every The Hills Have Eyes movie before tonight's Supernatural. It's so making things worse.

Spike TV had been continually advertising the movie, and these days I can't see a movie ref go by without wanting to know how it turned out.

And you know wikipedia--can't eat just one.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Buffista Lawyers, there is a famous hypothetical case (or maybe real) where I remember the reasoning but not the outcome. Bastard punches someone, intending just to administer a beating. Turns out victim has a glass jaw and dies. Judge says "you take your victim" as you find him and convicts Bastard of more than just beating. What I don't remember is if that conviction was just a higher degree of manslaughter or, murder 2, or if it was Murder 1? Anyone know offhand what it would be in most states?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That happened to my friend Chris, in Hawaii a year or so ago. Sadly he was the one punched once, and yes, he died from it. His puncher was convicted of manslaughter. He got 20 years.

Oh my god, Calli, that's horrifying and sad.

I know. I suspect some of them went out of their way NOT to join the Polar Bear Club.

They were able to tow the plane away! That's some fancy landing there. Give that pilot a bonus, a raise and a vacation.

I guess that's part of how you know it wasn't actually a crash -- it was an emergency landing. Really amazing. Also makes me glad the planes fly that route around Manhattan over the water!
