I remember that, ita. And that's bad enough: I do think it's even worse when you're going after people in your own community. That guy on I09 was, presumably, not on the same mailing lists and forums with the writers he was mocking.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
And when I said as much, asking him what the point was voting for someone who had a position on something Council will never address, he said it proved she was the only one with strong moral character, and if the other candidates don't respect unborn life, how can we know they respect the lives of city residents?
See? Terrible.
This dude is THE WORST. When I saw him at a high-school reunion party, he was going on and on about how health insurance is a scam and if people can't pay healthcare costs out of pocket, they should "better themselves" and get jobs that pay better.
I did NOT tell him I hoped he would get flesh-eating bacteria, but I did leave the party shortly thereafter because I was so angry. Like, physically shaking with anger.

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

I think it's two different kinds of bad--having your work criticised in public, by a bigger fish in a bigger pond, and people who hate fanfic anyway are going to shit all over you.

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
I am pretty sure that bridal showers, people with whom you enjoy nekkid or funny things between friends who both find them funny are the only times you give undies.
When my sister got married my mother got her a peignoir set. My aunt got her a peignoir set. I was incredibly skeeved. If a blood relative ever got me sex clothes I'd burn them.
Just the sex clothes. Probably. My sisters have been thoroughly briefed on this should I ever wed.

Amy, what a lovely article. The Chicago Trib did well by him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The infamous family gift from Satan was underwear, IIRC.

Anthony Bourdain tweeted about it, le nubian. Really sad. He was so young.

Yeah.
In other news, the mayor of Toronto situation just gets more and more bizarre. If you made a movie about this, no one would believe it. Tell you it is too fantastical.
even The Wire wouldn't have brooked this topic to this extent.
