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

In unadulterated good news, Tom Scola has reported elsewhere that Ben Browder will be on Doctor Who.

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

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

In unadulterated good news, Tom Scola has reported elsewhere that Ben Browder will be on Doctor Who.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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)?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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

Congrats, Hayden!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

During prohibition, half my family weren't here yet, and thus weren't prohibited. The other half probably just drank their way through the whole decade, from what I knew of them.

unrelatedly (maybe?) Hayden! Congrats on the gainfulness, and have fun with a leg possibly even more dysfunctional, but way less colorful than your previous one!

I have no Al Capone stories--one set of grandparents was busy farming during the Depression, and ...I have no idea what my grandmother on the other side was doing (mostly "growing up") and my grandpa on that side was working in his dad's restaurant (and was disappointed when he joined the navy and they told him since he had experience he could be a cook)
