Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

See, there were lots of houses in the Central NY area in the $75,000 range. But there are no jobs, endless snow, and nothing to do if you don't like camping/lakes. So, not so much for me.

I want to own, despite the money pit Steph mentioned (which is always true), because I want to paint, and renovate, and make it MINE. Painting is usually okay wherever we've rented; ripping out walls, not so much.

Appropos of nothing, living in a college town means college guys jog by a lot. Often shirtless.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The Oatmeal has me laughing so hard after following that link to another link:

"Penis looks like a sea cucumber poking out of a wizard's robe"

I have not gotten past that text because I am laughing and crying.

[link]

BTW, no picture of said penis occurs at link. Just laughter and tears.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The Oatmeal is pretty well genius, and has given me a new tagline.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My favourite Oatmeal remains the deep-sea anglerfish. Hell, it's one of my favourite internet pages of all time.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I know we have discussed multiple personality disorders here, but I'm kinda in need of some information and I don't want to share all the details here. Anyone willing to help me out in e-mail? My profile addy is good. Basically what launched a current situation included the comment "they're back".

The Oatmeal is not looking at the right guys in just T-shirts.

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

What's the estimated %age of asexuals in the population? Do the corners of the internet I hang out with only seem ace-full because it's pretty trivial to be invisible in your asexuality in meatspace, and it's currently a hot topic of discussion in some online areas?

Also, why is my corner of tumblr suddenly filled with Thor/Loki?

Are people submitting good hot guy pictures to Jesse? Hmm?

Because books.

Can we submit hot guys in just T-shirts? No?

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

Has anyone here used any of the FlyLady products? I think the email digests are brainwashing me because I find myself thinking "if only I had a rubba sweepa my floors would be so clean!"

OTOH, I do really need a new mop & broom, since the ones I have now were left in the apt by the previous owners and are old and crappy. So I may as well buy the purple cult-approved ones, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

OMG, I am so getting brainwashed by the email. And I try to skip all the product related ones, because I just don't have the cash. And also I don't really want purple towels.

But yeah, if you're going to replace them, might as well buy into the cult, I think! But I'm, you know, brainwashed, too, so not to be trusted. And I don't have the products myself to give you florid testimonials about.
