It's an ego thing, an outrage thing (see Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Lily Ledbetter), a not so subtle hint for attorneys who might want to argue in the future... But they are nothin' but dicta.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Huh. Turns out I really intensely do not like arugula. Do I have to turn in my liberal elitist card? I still look down on people, honest!

WOOT now I can have one and wear it to yoga! Thank you for the PSA. In other news, the book I'm laying out blows. Thanks, students, for your hard(?) work.

Because books.
Ah, the Mulligan.

That does look good on Emma Watson. But the only "Mulligan" I know is "stately, plump, Buck Mulligan."
