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.

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

If you die and come back to life? Last stand? Some people are trying to disqualify Gandalf...

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

I think it best if we just don't use the phrase.

I think I need another nap. I forgot how much more important it is that people respond to emails when I am working from home.

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

I think it best if we just don't use the phrase.

So is this the last stand of our last stand discussion?

I think of a last stand as the last option, in which if you're defeated, you have no more moves to make. In a battle, you might die or be taken prisoner.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So, in reading about Miley Cyrus and the littler Hemsworth getting engaged, I learned that the bigger Hems is married to a 35 year old! Which...gives me hope?

The Hemsworths just had a little girl about a month ago, too.

Today's Google widget is nifty, it's about drive-in movies.

IO9 linked to a distressing article on a dangerous "treatment" for autism. I don't understand why you have to make your snake oil so highly dangerous. Aren't there plenty of things that won't harm that you could bilk people with instead?

I asked for five months worth of data, and the guy came back to me saying (generous term for his tone) "That's a *lot*. You really want *all* that?" "Yup. I can't get a good sense of the traffic with less." "But it's a *lot*." "Mmm hmm." "A lot?"

Seriously, motherfucker, cut it up into usable chunks AND GIVE ME THE DAMNED DATA.

Okay, lunch.

Jesse, I share your appreciation for the awesomeness of Jay Smooth. I don't wish to marry him, but if I could be his friend and han out a bunch, that would be cool.

On a random other note: so, one of the possible questions you can answer on OKCupid (to help them match you) is "do you have a problem with racist jokes". I figure anytime I see a white person answer no", they aren't on my date-able list anymore. But I'm a bit puzzled/conflicted about the women of color who answer no. I mean...huh? Are you the "friend" all the republicans have? Are you just thaaaat chill? Trying to be nice? Ok with it if it's from people in your own group? (that I get, though I wouldn't necessarily classify in-group jokes as racist anymore than if classify queers talking about lesbian second dates as homophobic). Help?
