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.

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.

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

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.

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!

I'm not sure about burner phones. From what I've deduced from TV, I have a burner phone, since it's non-contract and pay as I go. Or am I confused?

I grew up with noon as lunch time and 6 PM as supper time. Dinner time if you're hoity-toity. But I believe some people call lunch dinner? Or is that supper?

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

do you know what the term "burner phone" means

The Wire, baby. And, CBS Mysteries. And CSI. And The Closer. And Court TV.

You get the idea.
