Sorry; I knew when I typed "scam" that people would think I meant money.

I meant "scam" more in the sense of "big lying faker who lied his ass off." There was no money involved, as far as I know.

Gud, on 12/31/06, a new poster named Kimi posted in Bitches to tell us Gus - a poster of some duration, most active in the Firefly thread - was dead. The saga of what happened next is told in Buraucracy 3: Scrappy "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Jan 1, 2007 12:07:02 am PST

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Normally when I get home from wherever, mine will eventually jump on top of me for skritches within a matter of minutes after I settle onto the couch.

When I come home, my kitty will sit on my lap within seconds of me sitting down. And before I sit down, she gets all impatient with me for wasting valuable lap-sitting time.

I thought he delurked during the Great Firefly Influx of '02, not on WX.

Our wings are not tired.

I find the whole to do about women on submarines to be much ado about nothing. Seriously close quarters are going to be an issue for anyone with major modesty issues, but I didn't think that was a gender thing. The whole thing @@

I'm totally traumatised by that article. In so many ways.

Same here, except I was taught to spell it with a z.

In completely other news, we are TV shopping. We're looking at something hopefully in the 24-inch, $275 or less range. I keep seeing a brand called Haier, which I've never heard of. Does anyone know anything of that one? Or any brands which I should run screaming from?

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

I was taught to spell it with a z.

It would be rude of me to rag on the American educational system, so I'll leave off.

His id is 708. Not WX influx numbers.

He also made a lot of invitations that were never able to be acted upon, so it was never ascertained if he was all (or anything) he said he was. And he painted a very dramatic picture of himself.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I know Annalee and emailed her to say that the story was false.

You guys, I am going to be a little disloyal. But if you ever wanted to invade Canada, this would be an excellent time. The Russia-Canada hockey game is about to start, and I bet that 1/2 the country will be watching.

Is that treason?

Is that treason?

Not while the Dems are in charge, you know they're too wimpy to do it.
