But see... if we are talking desired electronics, a GPS is more useful than an iTouch, and a Wii for the family would provide more entertainment value. And there's no way we are going to buy all 3 of them this season.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am back! I did a lot of shopping, though only a small portion was actual Black Friday shopping; there was a fair bit of "Well, I'm out of the house, let's buy stuff."
My Black Friday victory? Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive for $60 from Target. I called the Target closest to me a little after 9, and they were all out, so I called the next closest, and they wouldn't answer, so I called the next one, and they had two left, so I drove up there as fast as I could and snagged the very last one. Minutes later, a guy came by looking for one to exchange for his, which was defective, but I had just taken his prize. I hope it's not defective.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need drive rails, but even though I was nearby there was no way I was going to Fry's today. Maybe tomorrow.
I have sneezed three times today. If I have caught my co-worker's ick I'm going to be pissed. He got really miserable.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm a waffler too, Steph. I want an iTouch bad, but it's hard for me to justify right now. I don't need it--really, does anyone need an iTouch?--but I want it.
That's exactly it.
Grumble. I'm such a waffler.

So Terrence Howard is apologizing to ex-girlfriends on account of having daughters causing him see women in a different light. [link]
Maybe his fixation on baby wipes makes more sense now?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Camels terrorize Australian outback town
Yep, it's true. More like giant rabbits than giant cane toads. Our local ecosystems continue to be devastated by introduced species. However, be warned, rest of the world: in 'pay it forward' fashion, we have exported redback spiders to Japan and they're marching on Tokyo. [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't know, Terrence. This?
I didn't know how precious they were. I know better now.
Not really helping.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Terrence is still an ass. He should be apologising devoutly for needing to have daughters to respect women.
It's been a million years since I read Anne Rice. Did she have her vampires angstily romancing humans? Or was Angel the proper proto-Edward Cullen?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, I am so full again.

Louis was very mopey.
