Cass- Cool scroll news.

more than 80 bronze and marble statues of the highest quality, including one of Pan having sex with a goat.
This part made me laugh though. Apparently goat fucking was the high quality stuff. Sheep fucking was for peasants, one assumes.

Burrell Isn't Pan part goat?

JZ Sheep fucking is for the apprentice bronzeworkers. Goat fucking? That's master's work. You can't just waltz into the studio and expect someone to hand you goat fucking on a platter; you've got to work your way up.

Aims you've got to work your way up. From the hooves, as it were.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Paper has betrayed you! Paper, which holds words! and pictures! Great thoughts and beauty! It has betrayed you and wounded you! Of course the pain is all the greater.

As we enter the new year, I'm back at my job full-time, we're getting Ryan ready to start at school, I've signed up for two online courses from Harvard (Chinese history and computer programming) and I've got four library books still unread and mocking me from the bedside table. Oh, and I'm trying to pull together some stats analysis on BSG games on boardgamegeek. Naturally, this is the time that I'm starting up on organising our next BSG game. I propose to run it using the same elements as we used last game (including Daybreak and the other expansions, with optional modules limited to Conflicted Loyalties, and Cylon Leader if anyone picks one).

Time to decide. Who's in for the twentieth flight of Battlestar Galactica? All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. Post here or send me an email.

I'm in with the same stuff.

Laga - Jan 7, 2014 3:04:30 pm

I'm in and I agree with the Cow.

I'll just heckle from the sidelines this time.

askye - Jan 7, 2014 3:18:36 pm

I'm in. I'll probably be able to participate more since I'm not constantly working weird hours.

Ouch! Quit twisting my arm! I'll do it!

Ok, that's four sign-ups in... a touch over an hour. Clearly you all have a problem and are in need of professional help. All I can offer is a frantic chase across solar systems by a gang of homicidal robots, which should at least put your own issues in perspective.

omnis_audis - Jan 7, 2014 4:09:01 pm

I will have you know, I have SOOoooo many issues, it can be classified as a SUBSCRIPTION!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

In Natter:

Steph L.: I was reading a post with questions from readers about picking your bridal party, and one reader wondered if 9 (on just her side) was too many.

The very first comment was "I think nine is a nice number because then they can be your Nazgul."

AWESOME.

Steph L.: Realizing I could have had Nazgul makes me slightly regret not having a wedding party.

billytea: I for one endorse replacing "Maid of Honour" with "Witch King of Angmar".

Connie Neil: Once again looking for the Like button on the Nazgul posts. The Witch King would give a bitchin' speech.

billytea: I'd be waiting for when she announces it's time to get on the dance floor: "Do not come between the Nazgûl and her prey."

Theodosia: I'd look forward to the part of the wedding reception where the Witch King says "No man may dance with me," and the Best Man tears off his false beard and breast bindings and whips her into a waltz.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Dana: King cake ice cream is better in theory than in execution, but aren't you glad we live in a world where such things are possible?
