No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think it would be HIGHLY amusing to have Chuck Tingle chime in on this.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is so funny! I am dying of laughter.

Hil or Fay (can't remember which) linked to a book written because of "Cockygate" called "His Cocky Valet", which was pretty good for being written in a couple days.

I know Courtney Milan (love her books!) is a lawyer in real life under her real name. And Kevin Kneupper has been doing a lawsuit (pro bono). I bought one of his books on the strength of this suit.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think it would be HIGHLY amusing to have Chuck Tingle chime in on this.

Like Tingle would pass this up: [link]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Courtney Milan has posted the court transcript.

It's quite a read.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Do we know what the judge looks like? Because I'd like to have a mental image of the person who went to law school, did his time as a lawyer, and clawed his way into the judiciary, just to have to say "cocky" 30 times in under 2 minutes. With (presumably) a straight face.

Pop-tarts.

Those in the Steve/Bucky Avengers fandom probably remember Owlet. She's writing original stories under her real (or at least less fannish) name, and I am loving it. [link]

(By the way, this isn't me outing her. She made the connection between her fannish and pro IDs clear.)

Oh, that is lovely. I saw a mention of it on Facebook and thought it sounded cute, but didn't read it. Knowing it's Owlet . . .

Seemingly the cockygate kerfuffle has been resolved.

Because books.

I hope Faleena Hopkins is home stewing in her own inadequacy.
