Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Are they supposed to be all chick things? Or all chick and effeminate men things?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

On the way to lunch I saw a truck with "Reality Improvement Specialist" printed on the side.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What a rotten start to the day, msbelle.

I am contemplating finding that Ben Stein piece, but I probably should let it lie.

Punishingly Intricate

I am contemplating finding that Ben Stein piece, but I probably should let it lie.

Just reading about it existing makes me fume so I think I'll not investigate further.

Here's the HuffPo piece. What you do beyond this is your business.

Because books.

Or you could watch Darth Vader playing salsa trombone instead.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kids hope to attend party — but parents say world's going to end

Interesting... and sad.

“People look at my family and think I’m like that,” said Joseph, their 14-year-old, as his parents walked through the street fair on Ninth Avenue, giving out Bibles. “I keep my friends as far away from them as possible.”

“I don’t really have any motivation to try to figure out what I want to do anymore,” he said, “because my main support line, my parents, don’t care.”

His mother said she accepted that believers “lose friends and you lose family members in the process.”

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Guh, I restarted my PC in safe mode and ran the anti-virus things, nothing. I looked for the nasty stuff, nothing. I restarted normal and BAM there it is again. I think I may have gotten rid of it now, I found registration codes to use on the bogus "purchase" page for this software it is representing, that deactivated the take-over of the computer and I could remove the process via task manager, at least I hope. hate!

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I suppose that's the image I had, ita. To the extent that it's not true, I'm glad to hear that, I suppose, Even if it means I have to amend the pictures in my head from time to time. ETA: Amy, glad to hear about the wrestler, too. There is still no excuse for Stein's BS, however.

Oh msbelle, I have had that malware both at home and work recently. It seems to come from infected webpages. I had the same trouble with it being invisible to antivirus software. Googling led me to Malwarebytes, which has done the trick.
