Compassionately intolerant

Tep, have you seen Series 7? It has some of that 'everybody is linked in weird ways' stuff that Lost has.

I sort of wanted to not like it because it is SO dark and cynical, but I was riveted. The concept of a national, death race type lottery where you must kill or be kill is presented so plausibly that I could only shake my head and think that it is only a matter of time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What was the surprisingly dirty standard I heard recently? It had something about he's at his best when he's horizontal or something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best.

"Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered."

Yes! That turned out to be impossible to google, and I couldn't hear it in my head at all. "Dirty standard"? "Horizontal best song"? NSM.

It's a totally dirty song.

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

"Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered."

It also includes "Vexed again. Perplexed again. At last I can be oversexed again."

Or maybe Velociraptors on a Zeppelin!

Once upon a time we were very close to getting this. Jess Nevins just did a whole write-up about Zeppelin Stories for Incognito:

Several zeppelin films were in pre-production, including the Willis O’Brien-directed War Eagles (in which Lost Race Vikings, riding pterodactyls, battle German zeppelins in the skies over New York), the Republic Pictures serial The City in the Sky (in which Ray “Crash” Corrigan would reprise his role from Undersea Kingdom and fight against a floating city of Yellow Perils), and the Universal Pictures serial Smilin’ Jack vs the Mad Baron (which would have been the first serial for comic strip aviator Smilin’ Jack). But on May 6th the Hindenberg burned.

I need to repeat this bit because it makes me so happy: Lost Race Vikings, riding pterodactyls, battle German zeppelins in the skies over New York.

There should be a steampunk horror movie: Velociraptors in Pneumatic Tubes! Or maybe Velociraptors on a Zeppelin!

So you're saying I should add Velociraptors to the ongoing serial I'm writing for Steampunk Tales? I could do that.
