Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was Mary Smith actually.

Also awesome!

I am so crazy. Somehow I'm on a mailing list for medical/health studies, and I just got one about an eating study that I would TOTALLY DO if I hadn't already paid for the CSA for the summer. You get paid $1900! And they tell you what to eat for like 5 months, but hey, I could use some new ideas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dag, the notes for each Babbage and Lovelace comic are as funny as the comic. Not so much in the witty/funny way, as the "holy shit that visual joke was based on a real thing."

For example:

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

Don't you read the words, Jesse? That's what they say.

I, for some reason, don't need Anderson Cooper to say he's gay.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Richard Simmons isn't out? Because I have no gaydar and am notoriously bad at this game. And yet? Hello?
