It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Is it just me, or is ryan billytea unfairly handsome?

No, I think that's a reasonable reaction. Gaze upon my genetic legacy, ye mighty, and despair!

Random thoughts from the recent discussions: my younger brother got right into all that PUA stuff. (This is the one who's just got engaged.) He once told me I would be good at it, which I doubt, and as I pointed out to him, he and I were looking for different things from dating. I did look into some of the stuff. There was some good advice on self-esteem, the rest reminded me of The Rules.

America's health insurance system is the one thing that reliably pissed me off about living in America. Is it really not apparent that the current system is the one with lack of choice and bureaucrats making medical decisions?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. Coincidentally, Gabe and Tycho had a whole faux-debate (and then real discussion) about PUA yesterday and today. It's interesting.

He's a looker.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Can't help but imagining BT's chasing Ryan with a camera in about 15 years, and Ryan's reaction to that.

It's ok, my camera has a 12X optical zoom.

Or you can always turn to spy cameras.

Then again, we're talking about 15 years from now.

Surely there will be a way.

Hmm. I suppose if we get him microchipped now, he won't have a clue how we keep finding him when he's a teenager.

I decided to run Mr Timberlake through the Translation Party. It was illuminating:

I'm bringing sexy back. Those other boys don't know how to act.
I will return to the sexy. Other boys are not sure how to act.
I will return to the sexy. Please act like any other boys.
I will return to the sexy. Please act like a boy.

Justin Timberlake demands it!
