RIP to the man who inspired my daughters to sprint in stilettos

Orgasm.

And I am Spartacus.

Hey, can I judge again? I promise to behave and not be snarky if somebody refers to 40 degrees as "frigid" again.

The Old Testament was a good read (minus Leviticus and Deuteronomy, of course, although even they have their interesting points). Lots of murder, pillage, politics, betrayal, and treachery presided over by a god with more than a touch of narcissism. You can keep the New Testament - bunch of spin built around a guy who, if he actually existed, was just another Jewish dissident in a time that was rife with dissidents and messiahs.

Oh, good - I re-read that and Claudius the God every winter. Kind of like a visit to and old friend; the really fun thing is that, in my head, Claudius' voice isn't Derek Jacobi, it's Terry Jones (or some years, Graham Chapman) in drag.

I'm in, and 100 sounds good. 1) I, Claudius by Robert Graves (annual re-read - do I get to count that?)

NextGen is probably the best place to start. DS9 and Voyager were spin-offs. (TOS is still a lot of fun, though, if only to see analog readouts on a ship that can go warp speed, and to see James T. Kirk bone half the galaxy without coming down with cosmic herpes.)

Get it checked out - it could be a hernia, it could be a cyst, it could be a lipoma, it could be an alien implant...

The voices always count.

@Kudasai has exquisite taste in home decor.

They do, however, make a decent bug spray. (Skoal Bandits work best, though.)

I thought that it was from The Godfather.

Cheers!

And DC Fontana had to be in her 80's (just like almost everybody else associated with TOS). Sad, but not unexpected.

The odds kind of favor somebody from TOS going first...

I can still, from 3 seconds of the teaser, tell you the season, writer, guest stars, and obscure background information on any episode of the original Star Trek. This is really sad considering that I haven't watched any Trek since the late 90's.

What about them? The Karen are Christian, and celebrate Xmas like other Christians, including carols.

The elf on the shelf is the rancid cherry on the shit sundae that is the Xmas season.

The collection's a little uneven, but it's mostly pretty good. I always liked the idea of The King in Yellow; it reminds me of the Necronomicon.

Update: I called last night, and found out that I don't have to report, just fill out the summons and send it back. Bummer - I had my books all picked out. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

Unless you want to watch his ancient history, don't bother. He hasn't put anything up in 2 years.

What channel? I haven't gotten a notification from you in so long that your icon has rigor mortis.
