I call that the Brodie Helmet Problem. The story is probably apocryphal, but it still is useful for illustrating the point. Before the Brodie Helmet was introduced in WWI, soldiers wore soft caps. After the armored Brodie Helmets went into use, the number of soldier treated for head injuries went up. It might seem…

She gets better in season 4. I swear, she'd been taking lessons from Maeby for how well she played both Tony Wonder and GOB.

What artist doesn't?

Which one?

Oda is happily married with at least one kid. Granted, he married a professional Nami cosplayer, but that's no weirder than Paul Dini (who has a major Zatanna fixation) marring Misty May.

Bradley kinda is the World's Greatest Hitler. I mean, given how personable and charming he can be between (or during) atrocities, I can almost picture him drinking from a coffee mug that says "World's Greatest Hitler."

Two fresh ones I just made

MAybe he just needs a new job.

When my girlfriend died in a car crash in February, we were quick to have her facebook account memorialized. Also, because this story touches on a very personal note, I gotta say

Not scifi, if that's okay. And not that the rest of it wasn't funny (I normally hate raunch comedy), but the first 10 minutes of Super Troopers are comedic brilliance the rest just could not top.

And I am Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III. Don't hesitate to call.

FYI, I read your posts in Lucille Bluth's voice, and they sound like something she would say.

I wonder if the effects of solitary confinement are different for people with autistic spectrum disorders. I'm only mildly Asperger's, and I can go for days on end without seeing people, and when I don't have any mental stimulation I find my creativity explodes. Of course, I do get lonely eventually, but I wonder if…

Chinese astrology is very very different, to the point where calling it "astrology" is a misnomer. It has absolutely nothing to do with stars, it's more about natural cycles. Science has found strong correlation between being born in the month of April, and being autistic or an alcoholic (both! Yay!), so the concept…

There are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to be transgender. To be honest, unless you had it explained at a young age, people DO tend to think of trans women as "not real women." For a lot of people, this is honest ignorance, not any form of malice. Even people who mean well and would consider themselves…

"Sand"

Thank you. She had a rough life, and I'm just glad I could make her happy at the end. Someday, I'll write about the great valentine's day we had together before her accident.

We met each other at the perfect time in our lives. I'd just gotten out of the army, she was stuck in a bad relationship, and together we helped each other get through that rough transition, first as friends, then as lovers. Two years, under those circumstances, is a long time. I wish I had longer, but I too am glad…

I do. I will always miss her, but I feel like a lot of her is a part of me now. That's why I'm here, in fact. She used to post regularly (mostly under burners), but now I'm here. She used to cosplay Harley Quinn, and now I am working on a Rule 63 Harley. We always pushed each other to do what we should and wanted to…

I posted this on the other thread, but it was dying down by then. Also, edited slightly:
