It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's gettin' all Golden Gays up in thar.

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

Okay--need to make two calls. One to pain doc to reschedule next week's procedure in favour of an admission I don't have the details of yet, and one to GP to schedule an appointment to order a buttscope.

I'm critiquing a paper by my sister, and I'm trying to work out how not to state something as even a continuum between two diametric points because I think it is better framed as a two dimensional metaphor but I don't know how to express that succinctly. It's not that there's a spectrum of understanding of medicine that runs from folk medicine to standard Western science, but rather they are all points on a plane, but...

How do you say that? Pls help sister? She's trying to save lives.

Under Ambien last night I suggested to Colin we cosplay at SDCC. To his credit, he did entertain the idea, just poitned out that Comicon would kill me. Fair enough, but I'd leave a good-looking corpse. Also, I'm not going to SDCC! That's been sold out for yonks.

Because books.

perhaps this belongs in white font, but I want to know how soon into the movie Sean Bean's character dies

Today has sucked here, and this made me snort out loud. Thank you for that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Random hivemind question--do you know what the term "burner phone" means? I used it in an email conversation with an attorney earlier, and she had never heard it before.

I think I watch too much cop TV.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I know, but I watch a lot of cop TV.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

My boss isn't even gay! (That I know of. I suppose he could be gay or bi, but I would be very surprised.) And he isn't exactly flirtatious either. He does have a habit of just saying weird stuff, though. Anyway, it made me laugh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd have thought the Katie Holmes divorce caper would have made that term common knowledge.

Things I do not appreciate: getting insulting feedback that includes a condescending (and incorrect!) lecture about realism and perspective from an editor who does NOT have 10 years of art instruction and a quarter century career as a professional illustrator under his belt, as I do.

Random hivemind question--do you know what the term "burner phone" means?

Yep. But I also watch a lot of procedurals.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The intimate grooming comment section thing is very funny and true

I know what a burner phone is

How do normal people cook/eat dinner? I am so hungry when I leave work(off at 5) that I am ready to eat my arm. I leave work between 5 and 5:30, and get home around 6:45. I have all sorts of CSA stuff to eat, but I just want to make toast or something!
