Suzi, it will be okay! You will kick that surgery's butt.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In unadulterated good news, Tom Scola has reported elsewhere that Ben Browder will be on Doctor Who.
I have spent all morning running around communicating things. I'm not sure how this will go down on my time sheet. There were a lot of things.
Now I have to go to lunch with a vendor guy who thinks I'm an in to a lot of things I can't get him into. So it will be a lunch of smiling and bluffing and trying to get information from him instead, at which point he pays the bill.

Much surgery~ma, Suzi!
I have no family Prohibition stories. That I know of. Both of my grandfathers were traveling salesmen at some point during the 30s, but there's nothing in the family lore about them running anything more interesting than coffee. (Pro tip: if you want to survive a Great Depression with ease, sell coffee to Swedish and Finnish immigrant communities. Granddad saved enough to buy the family homestead from his father-in-law.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha, I just heard it from tiggy and posted it in Boxed Set.

And that right there is what it took to get me interested in watching again.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Are you of Irish descent, Sue?
Half. But that was not the rumrunning side. My grandfather was from St. Pierre and worked as an agent for the Bronfman family selling booze to rumrunners.
Heh. I asked because my Irish great-grandfather was successful (until he was gunned down) during Prohibition (that's right, the IRISH invented the drive-by - Represent!) Of course, I'm also told my paternal great-grandfather on the non-Irish side ran "all the beer in New Jersey", so I guess it was good times for all of the enterprising types.

Nor does it require one to have a radio show. If no one wants to pay him to have a radio show, he's free to hold up signs at funerals and such, like the Phelps family does.
I was gonna say, because if Rush's first admendment rights are being violated, I want to know where I get my nationally syndicated, mult-million-dollar-salaried radio show is where I get to spout any gibberish that comes into my head as long as I don't say the wrong naughty word (slut apparently not being one of them)?

Condolences, brenda. I remember that time, and I'm glad you were here.
Congrats, Hayden!
