That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am ignoring all the DINAOs, they are evil.

Always Anti-fascist!

I used to think Nader was sort of attractive before all that happened. Man, Perkins...remind me not to piss you off. Do you think Coulter and KO had, like, Worst.Sex. Ever? Because they seem to despise each other on a really personal level. IJS. In that DINAO, I guess Lieberman. My instinct is it would be a shorter evening...can I do it Friday before sunset?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now I need to know if freezing a candle really makes it drip less...

I'd say that if you're burning a candle that's still cold, less wax would melt.

But I don't care enough to conduct experiments to find out for sure....

BBC has Haiti earthquake news. It sounds terrible. Like Haiti of all places needed this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd say that if you're burning a candle that's still cold, less wax would melt.

Would it stay cold, you think, for an appreciable amount of time? Would the wax staying solid impede the progress of the wick burning in any negative way?

EXPERIMENT, damn you!

I need candles.

At least there's plenty of room in my freezer.

Dunno.

Would the wax staying solid impede the progress of the wick burning in any negative way?

Yes. It would burn slower. The wick serves to vaporize wax (it's the wax vapors that burn, not the molten wax). It would take more energy to melt the cold wax, so it would melt slower, thus exposing less of the wick, resulting in less molten wax being vaporized.

The outfit I wore today doesn't work. I really need a slip if I'm going to wear these tights with this dress. But this dress might be a little close for a slip. Shame. It's never going to be warm enough here to go tightsless.

C Katee (one note), F Lena Headey (what a beauty), M Claudia (who rocks).

The men are harder. I'd C NPH because he beat John Barrowman in the afterelton poll only, F JGL, M MGG because he's a fascinating bundle of weird.

I need candles.

Hey, -t, can you send tommy some candles? They should be your husband's candles for accuracy.
