Norlins

This is probably the closest to how I and my family pronounce it. Except maybe more like N'worlins.

I think my observation was misunderstood. Of the people I know in a long-term monogamous relationship who identify as bi, all are with a man. Not a point, because the sample size too small to mean anything (like saying the cool fall in my town last year meant global warming is a hoax). However, if there are a lot of people like me who, for whatever reason, experience the same thing maybe that's the reason for the idea that there's really not such a thing as bi.

But "Nawlins" was hip

I find it kind of irritating, unless you're Frank Davis.

Colbert Bait

Citing Leviticus, Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association claims that the mauling death of a hiker in Yellowstone Park was divine retribution:

The grizzly is a predator, a fierce, savage unstoppable killing machine. ... Because these researchers were intent on studying the grizzly rather than killing him to protect innocent human life, a husband, father and grandfather is dead today. This was an utterly unnecessary death which could have happened only because our culture has jettisoned a biblical view of the relative value of human life compared to animal life. Because this animal was given a nap instead of a bullet, a human being is dead, and a savage animal is alive, on the prowl, and ready to kill again.

Kyle at Right Wing Watch raises a hand:

Have I mentioned that Fischer is still listed as a "confirmed speaker" at the next Family Research Council Values Voter Summit along with Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep. Mike Pence, and Mike Huckabee? Just want to keep pointing that out.

I thought about you last night! When I was channel surfing, I saw a listing for an ep of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations that he filmed there.

Ooh, do watch it! I burst out laughing whenever he started complaining about the cold. The episode does make Harbin look really ugly and desolate, but it's still fun. And I totally know the guy they talk to who runs the bar with the Irish accent. He gives me a free tequila shot every time my friends and I go there. Hah.

Yep.

I've heard good things about The Wire, but all I've ever heard is that it's brilliant, I don't even know the premise. Hah. So, here's your chance, evangelize at me! I watch way too much TV, I'm always in search of something new =)

Well, the premise isn't critical. It's nominally about the institutions in Baltimore that channel human behavior -- focusing on, roughly chronologically, people in the police department, drug trade, union, government, schools and media. Usually there's a police investigation over the course of a season, so there's a procedural element. It's such a complex show that describing it doesn't do it justice. But when I finish a season I think, "Why was I watching anything else instead of this?" This show is ten times better than any show that has ever aired. Nothing comes close.

Pardon me as I plagiarize amych:

Married a man (8 years! Whoa!). Monogamous. Yep, still bi.

What bon said. Or, for more, what I said.
