Grünes Lantern
You know, when I used to watch the Batman cartoon on German TV, "Der Fliedermausmann" never failed to crack me up.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That boy is going to be a total heart throb when he grows up. What a great smile.

I am this close to calling the copson my upstairs neighbor. This is the third Friday in a row that she has had a screaming, door slamming brawl with her daughter past midnight.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
German boy, 14, struck by meteor, lives.
What a dumb article. It didn't even say what kind of super powers the kid got.

One of my favorite memories from the DC F2F is sitting by the pool with Holli, talking about how fiction (specifically, comic books and BTVS/Angel) have screwed up our expectations of reality. My example was that I semi-believed I should have telepathic powers, thanks to Willow (and Raven from Teen Titans).
Holli's example was that, if she was ever in an accident where she fell into a vat of industrial waste (for example), if she died instead of getting cool super-powers, she'd be really pissed, because she'd be expecting the super-powers because of all the fictional examples that have gone before.
Like Meteor Kid.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Seska, I don't know if I already said, but I'm so sorry about your extended family crapitude. And I'm just going to point at what the other folks said.
(I gave them a quadruple whammy, though. I was living in multiple sin with a girl and a black guy at the same time, while working as a stripper. This, shortly after I graduated from an ivy league college. My mom had a total prayer meltdown when I told her.)
...aaaand Zenkitty is my new hero.

Fuck. I had to make that call because it definitely because physical violence. I'm really scared.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You did the right thing, sj. If they're getting physical, it's dangerous for them.

Thanks, Cashmere. We had to call twice because she started banging on our door screaming at us after they left the first time. We're safely away from our apartment for the night, and right now I'm afraid to ever go back there.

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.
{{{{{{sj&TCG}}}}}} make sure you notify the landlord. At the apartment complex I used to work front desk at, that would have gotten them the boot. The landlord may choose not to take action, but if s/he's got a lick of sense, then there is some commitment to removing tennants who are violent, and threatening other tennants.
