Excellent

I can do goth but important clarifying question: can I wear my formal kilt? It is... Blackwatch Plaid!

No, I can, which is why I can see how untethered from reality you're being with this take, these responses, and this attempt at using an analogy really, really badly, and then retreating from it entirely when its clear what a shitshow your use of it actually is.

Idk, man, you're the one using it to defend a dogshit take, so maybe own your own words?

And, again, back-burns aren't "a dumb action movie line", and pretending it is doesn't make your core point any less dogshit.

This is a important distinction between the common swordfish and the more-refined and rare épéetrout

Its rather amazing that you chose to support your exceptionally bad democracy take with an analogy that ignores literal centuries of fire-fighting experience and practice.

Creating fire-breaks is good, actually, and fire-breaking the GOP is way beyond necessary at this point.

This year's finalists are an absolute murderer's row of really, really great stuff and SO MANY of the things I loved(and nominated!) made the finalist lists that I just know my final votes will be absolutely HEART-RENDING, as it should be!

Woohoo! My copy is supposedly already on its way!

I always think of Paul&Storm's iconic jingle for Necco...

"aaAAHHTHAT's Necco Waaaafers!
The candy that nobody likes!"

O.O

Nice. I like that guy. He always has the best snacks.

As long as the cut-offs stay on.

Wooohooo!

*stares at a copy of the Mahabharata, chooses to say nothing*

Oh hell, that fits my niche to a tee.

Ah ha! That makes way more sense than what I was thinking.

I feel like I've gotten several layers of new knowledge from this thread. Very cool.

This is all fascinating!

Does the "Jóla" part of that word relate to Christmas specifically, or is it more related to the English "holiday"?

Voyagers! Hell yes.

The first fanfiction I ever wrote was for Max Headroom

I would give several teeth to get to professionally play around in the world of THE LOST ROOM.

I have to admit, I kinda liked getting an obvious "book club" scam email. Both a step up from the "I have created a 12-point marketing plan, would you like to see it?" scam mails, and an affirmation that I've really made the grade.

I also hate their existence, of course, but still!

*cue Taiko drums*

One of my favorite parts of the morning is seeing the updates on them. Little fluffs.

Not just *on* a beach;

Their whole, entire, total job was Beach

Which one of them is in charge of Knowing?

This Is The Way

It's accurate... from a certain point of view.

Pure floorin' it.

I *want* to start calling that "a Kenobi"

I've found it works well to follow a *lot* of people, and then once your main feed is very full, start winnowing down to the people you actually find interesting.

Then post a bunch of stuff and things.

Huge congrats!
