River ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Bwah!
Loved this exchange on Archer.
Cyril: Hey, will I get to learn karate?
Archer: Karate? The Dane Cook of martial arts? No, Isis agents use Krav Maga.
Oh, this one's good too.
Archer: Ironic, isn't it?
Cyril: I'm not sure that's technically irony.
Archer: What? This is like O. Henry and Alanis Morrisette had a baby and named it "This Exact Situation."
tommyrot, I love it!
You know something I just discovered? It works even better if you imagine it in the voice of Christopher Walken.

See, if those existed, I think it would be justified to kill them strictly for their annoyingness.
I didn't know Lisa Frank flashbacks were possible.
Cash, both of my kids have gone through that phase. Franny really went through that ask-about-death phase. She'd ask me about my mother and why she died and if I was going to die too one day. Isaac is kind of there now. Oh, and the ask-about-death phase tends to be followed with the ask-about-God phase, at least in our household.
I'd rather deal with death than god.
All of those tough and awkward parenting moments are made that much harder with having to deal with the kids talking with other kids who report to their parents. I imagine, obviously, since I don't have kids. I always think parenting has got to be so hard, because everything you do can have community repercussions.
I'd rather deal with death than god.
I can understand that. In some ways the questions seem to follow naturally.
I know my Mom pretty explicitly didn't lie to us about death. It is very rare for babies to die. It is very rare for parents to die. It is very rare for healthy people to die.
And when she asked if she could die she would say that it was very very unlikely and talk about all the people who loved us and take care of us if she could not. This was maybe made trickier by her being frequently sick and hospitalized several times.
And even though she's religious, she tended toward "Well I believe..." in matters of God and the afterlife. We always knew different people believed different things and would talk about some of them.
