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

I hadn't seen SVU in AGES and happend to last night.

How long has her head been that botoxed?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hey, does anyone know of general reception of last night's SVU? It's generally a crap show, but last night was pretty exceptional.

I don't know about general reception, but my reaction was pretty much, "Wow, this is even more ridiculous than usual." At least for the first hour. For the second hour, it was "Boring, boring, that's silly, boring, boring. Oh, we had to sit through all that just to get to this?"

I have absolutely NO FUCKING PATIENCE tonight. And so, of course, I'm getting thrown all sorts of patience trying things. Traffic, busy pool, litterbox messiness, a drippy faucet, a slow drain, the radiator cycling on and off (need to replace the thermostat with something a little smarter) AND GODDAMN LOKI LEAVE THE FOOD BINS ALONE.

Damnit.

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

Java, if you want to know about "Gus" you can probably get in touch with Fast Eddie through the TV Tropes site. He's assumed most of the details of Gus's life. I'm sure he could answer your questions.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, the Rafmun thing was the origin of Nutty's Law! Cool.

I really have other things I should be doing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I mean this and all subsequent posts to be perky and giggly:

FUCK Y'ALL.

Ahahahahahahaha!!!!

(I mean this post to be mysterious and quixotic.)

Steph, I think your summary is too kind.

I guess I'm trying to be nice after the fact, given how toasty things got towards me in that discussion.

Not javachik

It'll be months before I make it in that direction, but thanks for the pointer. Can you help with the root questions before then? Is this Fast Eddie, Gus?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Because if they admitted there was tone, they'd have to cop to the nasty self-righteousness of their posts.

We would?

Seriously. If there were ever any question, that LAT article whapped the last one dead for me. Not that I was still questioning, just reading it felt like an anvily anvil made of anvilstuff. Fast Eddie is "Gus" and Paul is the walrus. Wait, was Paul the walrus? I dunno, that Beatles and walrus thing, fit it into my sentences somehow.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I could be The Walrus.

But I'd still have to bum rides off people.

OMG. Just got to the Politics Thread proposal.

I think we should add a "Board Members are not allowed to propose threads when in their first trimester as chances are, they are whacky crazy." to the FAQ.
