Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Did you guys see the thing on Jezebel about the study that said that people enjoyed stories more with spoilers?

I totally want to know how a book ends before I read it, but I did not really want spoilers for TV shows I really liked (like Buffy). I almost always read a book by reading the first few chapters, then reading the end, and then reading the book.

Sophia, that's the way I read books, too. And for a while I was all about spoilers with Buffy, but then realized it really took a lot of the HS out of the HSQ and I did my best to give them up. Nowadays I get downright cranky if I get spoiled for my favorite shows.

The study looks like it was done on short stories, so I am not sure you can apply the results (like Jezebel is seeming to) to tv shows or movies.

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

Ha! I can't believe I've never seen a picture of the two of them standing up together! But I guess that's why.... They were all over the place when he came to the Celtics.

What's crazy is that she's the normal-sized one!

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

I don't even watch Walking Dead and I already hate AMC for firing Frank Darabont.

How can they be so stupid with successful shows? They've got a gaggle of golden geese and they just want to cut off their feet and beat them with sticks.
