The scary part is, this isn't the drunk rapist apologist. This is a new guy.

I'm not sure why "self defense" and "preventing rape or murder" which allow lethal force isn't getting through to him.

Perhaps being kicked in the nuts is a fate worse than death? If so, I'd suggest I nut punch him a few times so he can see that while it is incredibly unpleasant, AT LEAST I DIDN'T SHOOT YOUR RAPING ASS IN THE BRAIN PAN.

If there's been an epidemic of women kicking innocent men in the balls, I've missed it.

It's what you women do! Accuse innocent men of rape, then kick them in the balls! Or at least, so I gathered from a very special episode of Blossom.

The scary part is, this isn't the drunk rapist apologist. This is a new guy.

What... What the hell forum is this? myballsmyballs@shewasaskingforit.com?

loves on billytea.

ita, seriously darling, there has got to be something better to do with your time.

And if you that close, shouldn't you just club the guy with the pistol?"

We walked by the gun store near Emmett's mom's house on the way to the ballfield today and he mentioned that he'd been inside and they had a replica of Wyatt Earp's "Peacemaker." Apparently it's not just huge, but heavy - like 15 lbs. Which suddenly makes so much more sense that Wyatt Earp did most of his lawmaking by pistol-whipping guys into unconsciousness.

Oh god, a huge Dr. Who discussion just busted out on my SF Giants baseball site.

Sample comment:

I think every companion during RTD’s run saw wild fluctuations in episode quality. The biggest thing that Moffat did was really just bring the standard up across the board plot- and production-wise. I feel that RTD was actually easily the superior show runner for character development (non-Rory edition).

But good characters in episodes like Daleks in Manhattan is less worth my time than just watching consistently good episodes.

Followed by...

Soon after Daleks Take Manhattan, there’s a run of four really good to great episodes- the two-parter with the Family of Blood (the episodes that made me heart Martha), Blink, and 42 (I really enjoyed that one) so you’re right about that. But then comes the Master and the Doctor as a parrot and it’s back to badness.

I do give RTD credit for making the show wildly entertaining and that even the worst episodes are still kind of fun to watch. Moffat does seem to be more plot, plot, plot but the Pond’s/Dr relationship has really become something really special and sweet as evidenced by the final few minutes of the Christmas episode. I’d totally love to hang out with all three even if I’d spend the whole time seriously lusting after Mrs. Pond

So, actually pretty well informed but...Quit Crossing the Streams!

Anyone else remember a short-lived series called "The Peacemakers" that was basically CSI: Gunsmoke ? It was good.

If anyone can find my damn nail clippers, I will give you a prize.*

Bless vets who respond to email when they shouldn't be working. I feel a little bad, but they put their addys on the site, so... They need a general triage email for non-emergencies (and I told them so!)

Pumpkin's worms have returned (I'll spare you the details, but they aren't bad. Just saw the one, otherwise unaware.) I emailed the vet in full squick, asking if I needed an appointment or what. Nope, she just put in a 'script I can pick up Monday and assured me that as long as we don't have a flea problem (we don't) the other cats are wormless (oh, and I won't get them either, thankyouverymuch!) but to check in again in a couple weeks, by taking a ton of fresh poop in.

I love having the email option. I'm so phone avoidant, and hard to reach since I don't carry the cell, but email? That I can do.

I have nail clippers you can use, Steph. But they are here in CA.

Have people commented on the 'shipping article in EW yet?

Mine are on the coffee table (and in the manicure basket in the drawer upstairs, but I need one in reach for TheCatsClawsAreTooLong!) For now. You have cats, Steph. Check under the tables and wherever you might have lain them.
