When I was elementary aged I got in fights at recess. Well, ok, I orchestrated an elaborate system by which I got other kids in fights with each other. There was a lot of running involved. And shifting allegiances.

You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
When I was in the fifth grade and stupid enough to wear a button-down shirt without checking the cafeteria menu that day I could end up in a hail of raisins and peanuts as boys tried to throw them down my shirt from every direction.
The aides told me to ignore it and, no, I could not go to the library.

I loved recess. In fact, I still do. But now all of my recesses are spent at the copy machine.
I read the Krakauer knockdown of Mortensen from an AP listserv (English teachers don't mess when it comes to authorial smackdowns).So interesting and meticulously researched. I think it was the $75,000 JK had donated that was the impetus.

Adding -- GM basically said he couldn't answer the allegations when 60 Minutes called because of the ill-effects of hypoxia. Granted GM has been traveling the world for YEARS at this point but just now, hypoxia is fucking with him? Hmmm...

So was it eastern or Pacific time that Skynet is supposed to take over? Or did I not notice and the cyborg overlords don't give a damn about Utah? Or they were already in charge and nothing has changed?

Skynet just wakes up today. It doesn't take over for a couple days.

I am twelve. I'm looking up symptoms for a pulled groin muscle, and I can't stop snickering over the term "groin pull."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pull enough groins, and it becomes the anti-sexy, and then pull some more right and it loops back over into pain-sex feedback and you're way over twelve and it can still be very hot.

I saw one with Putin that made me think of you, but then I lost it. If I find it again, I'll be sure to link to it.

Game of Thrones pilot had more nudity than True Blood's, if you want your soft core porn measured out. Also probably more twincest but IO9 wasn't clear on that. Just to help you make educated viewing decisions.
