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

Joe and Tina Do the Galaxy

...I'm now mildly grateful it wasn't Joe and Tina Do the Mashed Potato.

Our wings are not tired.

I need to watch Graham Norton more often. I only seem to catch it when I am channel surfing. Then I remember how the show lightens my mood and often all out cracks me up. A mood changer show, in a good way.

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

Interstellar porn? Very Marion Zimmer Bradley. Okay, fine. Varley. Heinlein? Anyway-- always a good angle.

Somewhat closer to Douglas Adams, I think.

Joe and Tina Do the Mashed Potato.

If it would get them back home, they'd do it.

Oh, Graham Norton is taping. That's a reason not to go to bed yet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The Rogers Park one is mostly true. Although I will say that in the three years I've lived here, I don't think there have been any murders within a two-block radius of my place (not counting Howard St.)

I think Rogers Park crime is mostly of the theft/robbery/mugging variety.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I call it Gary-rigged, b/c of my coworker with that name and his propensity for.. well.

information libertarian

Not to be confused with gerrymandering, which seems to have been named after Gov. Gerry of Massachusetts (in 1812).

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm reading a Patrick O'Brian novel, and the characters say "jury-rigged". Given the quality of the research, I'm inclined to go with him.

ION, I took my folks to see the new place (this would be the 3rd time) and Mom started freaking out ten minutes into the visit. "I'm afraid, get me out of here!" Argh. This after being greeted really nicely by several staff members and a sensible conversation about furniture. We still managed to get to the Cost Plus, where she insisted on buying two leather chairs in a somewhat unfortunate shade of teal.

Which means I get to spend my Sunday picking up the chairs in my sister's SUV & shuttling them to the new apartment, and hopefully there will be a dolly I can use to get them upstairs...

Argh.

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

A mood changer show, in a good way.

He is a very fun host--he can make almost any guest not just palatable, but enjoyable.

Is he meta-textually saying that that's the "right" way to say it, or is he writing about people who say that?

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

Yipes, Laura, that makes it even more upsetting.

The day in question was the day that Al Sharpton was there for a Souls to the Polls drive.

I sure hope it's just a tabulation error and all the votes were counted. That's a disturbing coincidence.

Oh Suela, maybe the chairs will make her feel more at home?

This.

Now I'm watching Bottle Shock On Demand, that movie about the 1976 wine contest where the Californian whites blew away the French.
