Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

sarameg, that is a lovely garden!

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

Louis CK does self-deprecating humour. Dave Chappelle does too. I've never thought of it as something restricted to a population more defined than "pulls off self-deprecation." I have suddenly forgotten the name of every other comedian I would normally think of, but I'm sure you could throw a rock at female comedians and hit quite a few that use it--and a few that use it as a crutch.

(Who is Behan, and when did conversation turn to him? I'm kinda missing a leadup here.)

"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

Who else can do self-deprecating humor well without self-hatred or pride in jackassery?

Mike Birbiglia would be a prime example.

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

Dear neighbors, if the VERY LOUD firecrackers you are setting off in your driveway set my house on fire, or more importantly, wake up my kid, I will stuff the next one down your pants and then light the fuse.

How does one even begin to shop for this wig? I'm stocking up against a cosplay emergency.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Like a lot of Archer, it's an update of a sixties look.

I'd look for a Bouffant Flip wigs and try to side style it a bit.

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

Dear neighbors, if the VERY LOUD firecrackers you are setting off in your driveway set my house on fire, or more importantly, wake up my kid, I will stuff the next one down your pants and then light the fuse.

I was just going to post that if my neighbors manage to burn down the neighborhood, or even just my portion of it with their fireworks, I am going to be really pissed.

They seem to have stopped now, but there were a whole lot of window-rattling bangs and crashes for a good half hour or so. Miraculously, given how long it took to get her to sleep tonight, Rose slept through the whole thing, thank god.

Watched the fireworks from the field with neighbors, had another margarita with them. Home and third shower to wash off the bug spray, smashed bugs and sweat from watching fireworks with a wiggly 6 year old on my lap. Good night.

Still sounds like a war zone out there, cats don't care.
