Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

“Not dead yet!”

Bainbridge is a little closer, but still - island living is island *living*.

Yeah, that's the thing. It's like I said, in theory, it sounds lovely to my slightly misanthropic soul, but probably not so much with the practical and for me, practical tends to outweigh misanthropic. I mean, half the draw of Seattle for me is the fact that I have FRIENDS, you know?

Also: the ferries stop at about 1am. In my social circle, that's criminally early. YMMV of course; not everyone is a blood-sucking child of the night.

::snerk::

For me, 1AM is up writing. Or a late night in the bar at a writing conference. Because, y'know, I'm a geek like that. Also, having munchkins makes 1AM nights out a thing of the long ago and far away. And again, for practicality's purposes, I like the freedom of being able to get where I want to be with relative ease.

Dr. Spencer Reid can't be seen having arms like that.

Oh yes he can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's the hair that's killing me in that picture.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Real Science Dealing With Important Issues:

If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.

That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada.

They say only frequent counter-attacks with increasing force would eradicate the fictional creatures.

The scientific paper is published in a book - Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So do I want the shoe, or the boot?

I have to say the shoe, although I flipped back and forth several times.

I vote boot.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Shoe.

If the boot had more eyelets or whatever the hole for the shoelace is called, I would have voted boot.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.

There was actually a report about this on the very serious 'Today' programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning.

Do they call this time of year 'silly season' over there, too?
