We coulda sent him a buffista birthday card!
I think I just hurt myself stifling a huge honking BWAH!
eta, from the article:
Richard Walter, the chairman of screenwriting at UCLA, is more skeptical of the site's usefulness. "As soon as you start to generalize, categorize, you're moving out of the heart and into the head," he says. Writing, he says, is a more a spontaneous process of discovering what your characters say and do as you write, rather than thinking it through ahead of time.
Hey, I met that guy and got a tiny scrap of private tutoring from him (Note to erika: He is brimful of awesome, as well as brimful of kindness and encouragement to flailing new screenwriters), and now I'm meanly gleeful at his skepticism. Fast Eddie/Gus/Janitor/whoever else you are today, I know the guy giving you the fishy stinkeye!
Dude, Jesse, you look crosswise at an 18 year old and you're a cougar. Don't front.
Fine, fine! I'm just saying, younger guy != cougar. He has to be MUCH younger.
So what's the formula for determining at some point if you + person = cougar hunting?
Deena and mieskye had the same ISP, if I recall, which added to the confusion.
I'll never get tired of Gus talk until I work up the energy to drive up and knock on the door of his trailer and ask him if it was all worth it.

Yep. Roadrunner!

He now has internet fame and an XKCD out of it, so I'm going to assume the answer'd be probably.
We, on the otherhand, have the MORAL HIGH GROUND.
MORAL, d'ya hear me?
Am I the only one who finds "cougar" to be a real turn off as a term? It's the predatory part of it I hate. Specifically, hunting for prey. I don't like the implication of "prey" to be anywhere near the implication of sex.
ETA: But now that I am 40, I am feeling sensitive about shit like this.
I'm no cougar; I've never, ever, dated anyone younger. Closest to my age I've come is 5 years older, in fact.

No. Though I'm resigned to it.
Edit: Its existence, not any application to me. Which there isn't. I can't speak for Jesse.
I thought it referred to the tendency of those women to dress in leopard print.
(Hil, I ancestry.commed him, too. You are not alone.)
I got to be in Entertainment Weekly without being a sock and committing pseudicide.
This means I am BETTER THAN YOU, FASTEDDIEGUS.
Woot! Two 22-inch monitors are coming to my desk! More room for movies on Sundays when things are slow!
Oh, and Windows 7, which shouldn't be too bad, but I will miss XP.
