No, I made that up.(/Olbermann) But I guess I really am good at it.

Oooh, Pete is taking me to Purple tonight. The place that a bunch of us went during the f2f!

Love that place!

I've even gotten weirdly fond of her unapologetically abrasive style; some readers seem to just get antagonized and flamey, but there's such a weight of experience and knowledge behind the bristling.

Heh. Yeah, umm, from my experience with her in her fandom days, she's on the list with C-- G-- in the RUN! RUN SCREAMING! category.

Though, that said, it's unfortunate that she's having to deal with her PTSD.

Before, she was just a carrier, eh?

Happy birthday, Jilli!!

Woo hoo, Nora!!

I was looking at those cutiehead pics of Ryan when the TV started to play a dogfood commercial which began with the dog saying "I'm a great pooper--better than that, I'm an efficient pooper!" and I was looking at baby Ryan and cracking up, picturing him saying the same thing.

The Spike Wars did bad things to people, I fear, and she was a serious apologist back in the day. Which, err. Not so amusingly, wound up being kind of triggering for some of us.

Cracking gimp jokes when not in fact yourself a gimp (at least, nobody I've googled up has told me otherwise about him) does not make him edgy and it sure doesn't make him brave.

He's a jackass. Note to "comedy" writers: rape jokes aren't actually funny. No, not even prison-rape jokes. No, not even about widely reviled public figures.

At least commit a fresh outrage, dude. "dropping the soap" jokes probably go back to Hammerabi, even if I didn't agree with Tep. Which I mostly do. I do think the talking dog is funny, though.

erika, I haven't heard of the jerk who makes gimp jokes without being one. He can't be that good. You, you're great at it (with the helpful advantage of being disabled while you make the jokes. As well as at other times).

I have a friend who is in the ironically-titled 'stand up comedy' line of work. She's so good, I can't understand why she only plays to small audiences. Then I go to a multiple-comedian gig in a big London theatre, and all these ignorant wankers are making jokes about 'flids' (that being the entire punchline of the joke, with nothing actually interesting or clever there) and think they're funny. Regardless of the fact that my friend is disabled, she blows them out of the water. Mainly because her disability jokes are actually, y'know, funny.

Evening class was not worth leaving the house for. Hmph.

Oh, I really liked Family Guy for the first couple-few seasons. Then it just became a preponderance of rape jokes and musical numbers that are obviously filler because the episode ran too short. I don't care that Seth Macfarlane can sing in different voices, man. We get it!
