Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

I continue to be het up about the fact that I've never been hit on by a woman at a gay bar! How can they all tell???

The absence of a Subaru in your life?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

A decade ago when I was clubbing more, I took my hockey player friend and his girlfriend out to a couple of gay nightclubs. Hilariously, he fit in better than I did, and people thought I was the straight one. He was only awkward when asking me to watch out for him during a restroom visit, which was SO a case of having the fox guard the chicken coop.

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

I was very rarely hit on by men at gay bars.

Though once I was hanging out with a gay friend at a gay bar in Appleton, WI. After I left, a man went and talked to my friend. Turns out this man was too intimidated by me to talk to my friend while I was there. (I was wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and black leather baseball cap.)

That still cracks me up. Me? Intimidating? (I was pretty skinny back then.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"het up"

Hee.

I know, right?

Now I'm watching Friends instead of reading Bureau2 -- a much better choice for living in the past. What I should really be doing is grocery shopping, before I get more hungry.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I hate Yelp with the passion of a thousand burning suns. It's not a surprise to me that there's so many shitty, narrow-minded, mean-spirited people out there, but it FUCKING DEPRESSING that these jackholes can actually affect businesses.

“Not dead yet!”

I have a fever of almost 101. Stephen is going to be Daisies Dad tonight. I almost wish I felt well enough to go just to watch.

Is there a badge Sara could earn for videotaping the thing? You get the evidence, she gets a badge, it's win/win!

That which does not kill you should RUN

reading Bureau2

Was that the Rafmun thread?

Not yet?

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

Was that the Rafmun thread?

It certainly is now.

Ouch.

There is no tone...

eta: and no social capital.

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

I just hit Gang of Fourteen.
