I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

God, Supernatural is killing me tonight.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

He's my representative and claims it was a metaphor:

Johnson issued a written statement Thursday as the mockery mounted.

"I wasn't suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over," he said. Johnson said he was "using a metaphor" to describe how adding more military personnel to the tiny island "could be a tipping point which could adversely affect the island’s fragile ecosystem and could overburden its stressed infrastructure."

Sigh. And one of his primary opponents is evil.

Rent! I better write that check now while I'm thinking about it. (I just thought I'd post this in case others needed the reminder, too).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ME! Thank you!

If your metaphor needs a press release, you are probably doing it wrong.

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

Plain sometimes, smothered in butter and bacon salt others.

There's something almost poetic about the fact that matzoh with butter and bacon salt is, despite all appearances, kosher for passover. (Oh bacon salt! Is there anything you can't do?)

Words to live by.

The man is still recovering from a bout of hepatitis C, but swears he can carry on. This does not support his case.
