I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Matt, your white font is killing me. I'm just shaking my head - as someone who has never read the comics. I don't know what to think about that - or how a movie can do that tastefully.

TNT just had "Long Kiss Goodnight" on over the weekend and like just about anything else TNT shows, I had to watch that damn thing from beginning to end. Beau always wonders why I like it so much. It is fucking PULP. That's why I like it.

Maybe we can nip this trend in the bud and start a rumor that people named Nevaeh end up in hell.

It wouldn't be just a rumor. I'm fairly confident gradeschool IS hell for kids named Nevaeh.

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

In an extremely unscientific evaluation, Dean is further down the male list than Cadence is on the female.

Huh.

Everyone that has walked past my desk and responded to my presence has done so with a distinct note of surprise. Oops.

In 2011 there were 37 girls with K's name, spelled with a K. I didn't see any spelled with a C. My DH will be happy to hear this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Casper's name keeps on rising - #24 now, it was #88 when we named her! - and Dillo's and mine didn't move much.

Emmett's up to 222, but below Maximus.

flea, you'll be happy to know that there is a Phoebe in Matilda's school, as well as an Anaheed.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

“Scandal,” the new ABC series created by Shonda Rhimes and starring Kerry Washington, is the first network TV drama with a black female lead character since 1974. That was the year of “Get Christie Love!,” a blaxploitation-inflected crime series starring Teresa Graves—best known for the catchphrase “You’re under arrest, sugar.”

I used to watch Get Christie Love.

Black female solo lead, right? Lest we forget Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

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

Oh, hey, ita!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

One of my trainees had a baby girl named Neveah. It was pronounced how I pronounce Nivea - "nih-VEE-ah." He had the name tattooed on his arm, too. Named his second daughter Paris (not after Hilton).
