2013-04-01 21:29 - Peacast VIII: A Pocketful of Cum - link They did that a lot on Supernatural, if I recall. They had *fine actors* acting out stuff I wanted to slap somebody for. I *liked* that zealous vampire hunting guy they had on towards the beginning, he was flawed but interesting before the fridge of no ret...

2013-04-01 20:43 - Peacast VIII: A Pocketful of Cum - link " Well, there was the recent episode with a black woman in it who could turn into a dog and wore a collar all the time and was the slave and lover of a white man. She was played very sympathetically!" WOW. Fucking wow. And I thought the "dead b...

2013-03-26 00:45 - Peacast VIII: A Pocketful of Cum - link Mostly on-topic -- I read this recently. (Apparently there are a lot of books with this title floating around?) Aside from a few amusing homophone typos, I ki...

2013-03-13 02:17 - I Fold - link (Heh. I am feeling very proud of myself now for understanding your references, because I just mainlined Battlestar Galactica AND Caprica in one fell swoop last month, via Netflix. Er, one extended fell swoop. If one can have that sort of swoo...

2013-02-19 19:00 - Feminists in an Adventure with Pickup Artists - link Oh, the "Jesus Christ" up there was an expletive, not a reference to piety. (And I think I said "back in the warmth" somewhere where I meant to say "bask.") {/edits}

2013-02-19 18:56 - Feminists in an Adventure with Pickup Artists - link Arthur B: I have to look into that. Going back and forth as much as I have done this year (and granted, I haven't been looking), I haven't really noticed a lot more dating ads on the London Tube than on the New York subway. Now, in NYC I have access to ...

To be honest, like Cheriola my pulling and being pulled days are long over (thank fuck) so I'm not really well placed to be insightful on the state of the game ... but I don't know if pick-up artistry is generally more common in America.</block...

Freudian, Cammalot, Freudian!

I was framed, framed I say! Betrayed by Autocorrect! Honestly, I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a transient one-night sort of thing or (at least potentially) long-term, a...

2013-02-18 00:15 - Feminists in an Adventure with Pickup Artists - link The WHOLE thing! WHOLE THING not WHORE THING, oh my god, sorry, sorry. I'm typing with one thumb on a phone!

2013-02-18 00:13 - Feminists in an Adventure with Pickup Artists - link Heh. It would either get dude kicked out of PUA academy or made valedictorian. In seriousness, I do think there's a legit, or at least semi legit, mental place where people seek out sex to deal with trauma, especially death. It's just that the mad...

2013-02-17 19:20 - Feminists in an Adventure with Pickup Artists - link I can't decide if this is "How to sound like a serial killer 101" or "How to make your narcissism so blatant that it crosses into comedy." There's also something wrong with the girl's scripted response. If someone starts obsessing about leaving fo...

2013-02-07 22:57 - Pedo Snore Screed of a Octafish - link The piece on the Scalzi page isn't him -- the intro paragraph is, but the rest is his "The Big Idea" feature where he lets authors self promote. So it's Tepper herself. (If I remember correctly, when it began he'd let authors he didn't necessarily like or ...

Fun fact: she used to work for Planned Parenthood and wrote a bunch of educational pamphlets for them before she turned to SF full-time, and only retired from that in 1986. The idea of a Planned Parenthood executive in the early 1980s having su...

"The Family Tree" midway (I am not sure, but I think that was the one where the main character turned out to be a monkey of some sort at the very end, and her pet turned out to be a human being -- I think it ends with all the "pets" standing on...

2013-02-05 22:25 - Pedo Snore Screed of a Octafish - link This... saddens me. I remember liking "Grass" and "The Awakeners" (I forgot that was one of hers) unequivocally, and "Six Moon Dance" (except for the sex-torture machines... yeah. I mentally edited those out), and being very impressed by "Gibbons Declin...
