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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, it occurs to me I don't have any memory of the original, although I must have seen it at some point. And as per the point in question, it hasn't been made a big deal of in the show, either, so perhaps it will play out okay.

A few moments later Emaryn asks, very confused, why they think God hates flags.

Hahahah! They're flappy and divisive, I suppose. Ooh, and maybe God doesn't like the bit about them not touching the ground. Yeah, I got nothing. That's too funny.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Seemingly there's now a question as to whether the Westboro people's first amendment rights include disrupting funerals and such. A man whose son was a soldier sued them for disrupting the funeral and was awarded, I think, some $5 million.

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

The trailers for Parenthood made me want to kick my TV in, but I take it the actual show is better?

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

What was your answer, Gud?

That 911 story makes me tear up.

The internet is up for this year's Nobel Peace Prize:

The nomination for the internet is supported by 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi and the founder of the $100 laptop project Nicholas Negroponte.

It is unclear who would accept the prize if the internet were to win

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

Cats?

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

I just got a call from a collection agency about my TENS unit. The company that I got the unit from keeps sending the bill to the wrong insurance company. No matter how many times I tell them the name and address of my insurance company, they keep sending the bill to a different one, and then sending another bill to me telling me that my insurance has refused to cover it. Of course they have -- that's not my insurance!
