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.

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

I have way too many personal safety issues to have hook-ups anymore.

I was listening to this at lunch [link] which seems that it would be of intereste to several people. The author was discussing how the term WASP was not only a descriptive word for a certain type of American, but certainly by the 30's, 40's had stopped being descrptively accurate and had morphed into describing what was considered the American ideal. He introduced the term MCWASP on the show as being more accurate = Middle Class White Assimilated Suburban Protestant.

See, that just makes me think "I"m MC Wasp and I'm here to say...I love being white in a suburban way!"

Or something.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

every single prophet throughout the ages has predicted global warming.

Well there you go then, that proves it's real!

I just got the invitation to a friend's baby shower, and I am TOTALLY being a know-it-all-experienced-mommy and buying her stuff not on the registry. What do we think, dragon or elephant?

Unless she's a republican

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dragon, for sure. Get three, and call the baby Khaleesi!

My only worry is that because her husband is Chinese (and it's the year of the dragon), she's going to be getting a metric shitton of red dragon baby stuff already. But it's so cute!

(Aeryn has the giraffe Wubanub and she loves it so much it will probably go with her to college. They are AWESOME.)

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

I'm going with dragon, because today is [link] + [link] day. CLEARLY dragon.
