I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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

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

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Don't give a lightsaber to a baby. You'd think no one would need to be told this, but....

Lightsaber-wielding baby goes on an adorably lethal rampage

Fun, but could have used more gore.

Wow, what a story: [link] (scroll down)

A family with two small kids is flying United from Denver to BWI. The in-flight movie, shown on the drop-down monitors, not the back-of-seat ones, is quite violent. The parents ask the flight attendant if they can get the closest monitor turned off. FA says no. Parents ask if the plane's Captain can do so; no answer. Parents ask for his name so they can talk to him about it later. Parents play games with the kids to keep them from watching the movie and getting scared.

Midway through the flight, they are diverted to O'Hare, where the parents and children are escorted off the plane by police, because the captain felt that their request constituted a threat to his/the plane's safety.

That was two months ago, and United has not apologized yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am rapidly running out of airlines I am willing to fly on. When do we get teleportation again?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That is unconscionable, but not surprising. Flying cars. Who's on that?

Happy Birthday, Tom, and I second the wish for you having something as wonderful as a Scola Smile.

Good for you Burrell. I kind of wish you could coast on your laurels, at least for a little bit.

Because books.

I want to see police pushing back, too. What an incredible waste of time and resources.
