this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
And here's another question - are they using *potable* water for the "fracking?" Because that alone is a horrifying waste. They better be using treated water from waste treatment plants.
Even Dinosaur Comics addressed the wasteful uses of potable water.
ION, have I mentioned how much I hate the NFL for not letting people use the phrase "Super Bowl" in, for instance, grocery store flyers about "stock up for THE BIG GAME"???
Because I hate it. Being forced to say "THE BIG GAME" just smacks of coyness, like, we know what sporting event we mean, and you know it, and we know you know, but we are TOO COOL to say it! (Even though the real reason is the mighty legal wrath of the NFL.)
Because...Trader Joe's using the phrase "Buy some nacho cheese for THE SUPER BOWL" is somehow taking money away from the impoverished NFL?
And, if you were the NFL, wouldn't you want your biggest fucking event of the year to actually be referred to by human beings other than your paid representatives? Not good marketing, doodz.
"The big game." Gimme a fucking break.
...and in retrospect, I didn't realize that I felt *that* strongly about it. BUT APPARENTLY I DO.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know, I'm sure it varies from person to person and possibly from village to city, but that was my experience.
Oh yeah, that's what I mean -- I don't think we've even been clothes shopping together, much less slept in the same place. No opportunity to drop trou!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the chapter on the reproductive system was independent study.
That sounds like it's rife with possibility.
I overates.
Oops. And it wasn't even that tasty. I'm not uncomfortably full, but I sated my hunger some forkfuls ago. And there was too much gristle in the "steak." Best stick to pork.

OMG ME TOO! I was going to post about it the other day!!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trudy, that looks like a really fascinating movie.
Doesn't it, smonster? I'm anxious to see it myself. My sisters performed in a few of Josh's plays and for the first of them I was "do whatever... oh god NOW!" staff during tech and the run.
I expect it it initially feels irritatingly earnest but quickly sucks you in to pretty heartfelt rage.

As an uptight New Englander, I don't go around looking for opportunities to take my clothes off, thankyouverymuch.

You should send your complaint to Ryan North. Maybe he'll do a comic about it!
Is the NFL going to come down on me for having Super Bowl of Chili Sunday?
