Because books.

Now I'm looking at MAC makeup and wanting. This isn't good.

Want a distraction? Let's see. Um.

Ooh! FCM: Neil Patrick Harris, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Harrison Ford. (My three name Neil celebs thing didn't work out; just go with it)

Wow, I need to go to bed.

ETA: Oh, ew, some of you actually know Neil Gaiman, don't you. That's weird. I replaced him.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and I envy (OK, maybe not that dramatic an emotion) those of you who have.

I was young, I had no idea it would last.

To be fair, I'd had my heart broken before.

Now I make random MAC salespeople swear they will never ever ever ever discontinue Del Rio. They do. I think I freak them out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I feel vaguely irresponsible for failing to moisturize or wear sunscreen. Oh well.

I am with you on the FCM, Cass (though, I replaced Neil Gaiman too late for your post, because I realized some people actually know him, right? That might be sort of odd... but, I'm still with you).

Although, ha! Allyson probably knows NDT!

OK, I guess you just have to ignore FCM if you know a contender and it weirds you out.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've met him in circumstances in which a bazillion people were also meeting him. He's superfuckinfamousnerd.


JenP - Sep 06, 2011 7:38:43 pm PDT #24493 of 30001

I figured you'd at least met him. It just struck me funny. He's someone I'd like to meet. I'd probably sidle up with a, "Hey! Love your podcast. And your giant, awesome brain."

Honestly, he is a case of farther away is better for me. Not that he's an icky person from reports, just I am less enthralled the more I know. So I wasn't skeeved to answer.

NdeGT, I would totally admit to my brain crush on him. To his face. I think I could speak. Well, I'd try.

He has a habit of running roughshod over everyone else on a panel. He was sitting next to Pamela Gay (an astronomer) and after the 50th interruption, she abruptly and terrifyingly SHUSHed him. The audience went wild, and Neil reeled himself back in. Phil Plait had them recreate the moment for a photo which I canna find. He looked forlorn. It was adorable.
