My brother just called...to tell me his phone was electrocuting him and draining the battery.
Boy is a dork.
(He also called to verify our grandparents' names and history. But the electrocution thing was the main point.)
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

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.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Congrats, Lee!!!
I shall wait until tomorrow to post about seeing Assassins. There was good, bad and truly ugly. Fairly typical community theatre, I guess.

Addendum to things to do this weekend: buy some Thomas Paine. Its been a while since I've read him (high school, probably.)
Yeah, I was watching PBS again...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations, Lee! (And congratulations to the rest of the localistas for getting to keep you here!)
This really calls for a Dutch baby.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Awesome t-shirt: The League of Cliché Evil Super-Villains

Yay, Lee!
Man, those stuffed veggies are cute. I need to think of someone who needs them.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
That is indeed an awesome T shirt. Although maybe still not as awesome as my new Batman shirt.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh! I was explaining Batman to Wallybee over lunch today (we're watching Batman Begins), and just why Batman may be able to win in a battle with Superman.
Me: "Superman's the one they call a boy scout, but Batman's the one who really embodies "Be Prepared". He has, among other things, a lot of computer power which he uses to keep and analyse information on threats."
WB: "So he has an internet connection?"
Me: "Yes, Batman's secret power is his mad Googling skills."
WB: "And he keeps all this on a laptop?"
Me: "I like that. So when he tells Gordon he'll check the Joker out, his next stop is the nearest internet cafe."
WB: "Well, you said he keeps it in the Batcase."
Me: "...No, Batcave. "
WB: "Oh. That makes more sense."

::is dead from the cuteness::
Hmm. The Bat versus Supes. You have a point there - Superman may have all the raw power in the world, but Batman is one ruthless mofo. And indeed, he has his Mad Googling Skillz. (And Oracle. Sometimes.) I'd like to bet on the Bat, although I'm not entirely convinced.
He could, after all, be distracted by the Boy Wonder.
