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.

Just to play devil's advocate, it's REALLY easy for little kids to inadvertently say sexually explicit things just because they think anything having to do with pants/butts/weiners is funny.

It was the part about sitting on his face that seemed worrisome to me, but you're right. Still worth telling the kid's parent, though.

fruit flies moving in for the duration

Yeah, I think we might have to move after all. Stupid fruit flies.

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

Still worth telling the kid's parent, though.

Oh yeah. If my kid said anything like that to another kid, I'd want to know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, is there such a thing as a picture of Clark Kent (or Superman) in high heels? I need one for reasons.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Trudy, have you seen this week's issue of The New Yorker? There's a juicy article about Dewey & LeBoeuf, if you can find a copy.

It's a long (and not that exciting) story, but it all comes from telling my male coworker about how Diana Prince is the best Halloween costume.

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

Is this what you meant, Jesse? Or this?

The second! But I cannot show it to my coworker. That would be Too Much, I'm afraid.

I just discussed the protocol of farting in American flag-emblazoned boxers, so all my well-tended boundaries have dissolved since they moved me to this new physical area.

Ahaha!

Flag boxers are an abomination regardless.

(And I think I will show it to my coworker, just make him walk over to see it on the screen instead of emailing)
