Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Is Woody Allen an actor?

he voted the way he did on gay rights because he felt that's what the voters of his district wanted

If he campaigned on being against gay rights, I can't complain that he voted that way, but I can call him a coward for not standing up during the campaign.

Is Woody Allen an actor?

I think only in his own movies.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think only in his own movies.

He did the voice of a character in Antz. Not sure if he wrote it or not. He was actually pretty good in it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

but I can call him a coward for not standing up during the campaign.

By standing up you mean coming out? He's only doing this now because he got busted for DUI leaving a gay bar last week.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is Woody Allen an actor?

I wouldn't say so, no.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

If he campaigned on being against gay rights, I can't complain that he voted that way, but I can call him a coward for not standing up during the campaign.

You know what though, no. If he thought the voters wanted to have racist home covenants, would he have voted for that, knowing it's wrong? Would he be willing to say that he would stand behind the voters in that case?

I don't want a mouth piece, I want a leader.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My favorite part from the hatpin article:

“I do not believe there was ever a time in history when women have shown so much eccentricity in their personal adornment as at present,” he said. “We have the tight skirt, the marcel mave, and now comes the yard-wide hat, with its remarkable accessories.”

“In addition to ribbons, laces, wires, flowers, vegetables, animals, and birds, women’s headgear is armed with the deadly ‘snickersee.’ If women care to wear carrots and roosters on their heads, that is a matter of their own concern, and it cannot be interfered with by the city, but when it comes to wearing swords they must be stopped. One man told me he was almost decapitated in the City Hall elevator by the sweep of a hatpin like a scimitar worn by one of the City Hall belles.”

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

OMG, we had a Veronica Mars thread? Really? And I posted in it 65 times? And don't remember it at all?

I'm really getting old.
