@cardigfan9: I had the same evil impulse. Small claims exists for a reason, right? Fun and the cost of a coffee maker, baking sheet and measuring CUPS.

@Fridge Hussy: Is not yet going back to uni!: Or, you know, the involvement of a judge to sign said order. Is anyone there actually an attorney?

@WashingMyHair: I agree. Some people of my acquaintance reacted in a very similar manner, and I can see the world at large believing their denials. I think they believe them themselves. It's just a twisted mess of love and hurt and fear and guilt and denial.

@14Kgold: From what I heard of internet lore, the Z started out as a typo - someone was trying to just hit shift and got the Z key, too. It's now imbued with sarcasm.

I would've included the remains of Eva Peron on this list.

@Irin: I read it three times, and I don't doubt that they have legitimate issues. What irks me is that of all this is how they paint SF as boys' territory but they can help with incredibly stereotypically feminine things like the Bachelor or Sex and the City. It almost feels as if, by framing it in those terms,…

Really, that's the big divide, basic knowledge of a couple of enormously popular SF and fantasy series?

@martha_always_said: Bah. My wing vote goes to Gabriel's Gate ;)

Wow indeed. I'm mortified for everyone involved just reading that.

What I take from this Daily Fail article is that I am a man. I find that conclusion somewhat curious in light of certain undeniable biological indications to the opposite, of course. I kid, I kid.

I tuned in out of curiosity and the novelty factor. I watched the rest because Betty White has killer comedic timing.

@Lindsey G.: This is how I read it, too.

The annoying thing is that you can't predict what name will suddenly become obnoxiously popular fifteen years down the road. Imagine naming your child Buffy before the movie/tv show came out, for instance. Suddenly everyone's asking your kid if she's a vampire slayer.

@Buddha916: I'm not sure where you come off with that, but I meant Aol video/CW/network sites. Notice how I said "streaming"? Not everything that's free and legal on the internet is hosted at Hulu, thanks.

I am cable-free since October. I miss the sports, but for the rest, I have an antenna, the internet and Hulu/other video streaming sites.

I went to an all-girls school and didn't have a boyfriend, so a very good guy friend who was gay was my date to my prom and I was his date to his. We hung out with friends and had mostly drama-free fun. Most of my friends didn't have boyfriends, either, so they just grabbed random guys we knew. My school had a…

@Ineedmorecowbell: And vice versa! I might've pretended to be Canadian a time or two, myself.

@Hortense: Far be it for him to let truthiness interfere with a good diatribe when a baseless accusation works ten times as well.

She means a Mexican border state, of course. I live in a Canadian border state and we don't really have the same concerns about Canadians congregating in the street looking all menacing and... foreign.

@julieannie: Thanks, I got a good laugh out of that.
