Can you imagine if you could see a bunch more shades of black, white, any color? Stuff from the same dye lot wouldn't even work, maybe not even in a one piece garment! I would find it horrifying. It might even be impossible to get colors that looked properly complimentary.

That would be so annoying — you'd never get clothes that matched. It's hard enough with regular vision.

I miss killfiles, from back in the day on Usenet groups. PLUNK and the known assholes were gone.

I would totally watch that.

Lauren fixed the headline and article, so you're correct.

Oh, man, for couples or twins, those are SO perfect.

I would love to see more SF stage plays, so I hope Night of the Auk gets funded.

I say it's trolling and mansplaining. What with being so worried about his and other men's balls, and refusing to even discuss the situation of big dude rapist vs. small woman. "Kick 'em in the crotch!" has been advised to me since childhood in a serious situation... like weird guys trying to stuff you into a…

You are so far away from reality that I can't even talk to you about it. I don't even own a gun. Please come back when your life and safety has actually been threatened, and you have REAL training in both non-violently defusing situations and escalation of force, not some punch-pulling martial arts, and we'll have a…

And I'm saying that the French chose the wrong arbitrary noun gender for an imaginary object years ago, and we're all making a joke about the episode "The Doctor's Wife". Surely the French got a laugh out of the incongruity at the time? The mismatch of article with obvious actual gender?

Basically, he's talking sports, which are mostly ritualized combat with rules like this. Boxing has no hitting below the belt, etc. Every self-defense course tells you to go for the crotch and the eyes.

Yep, they sent a lawyer letter to a friend of mine who used a -zilla name on message boards and her blog. No profit, no confusion with Japanese monster movies, but they threatened to sue her anyway. Of course she had no money to fight it, nor a bunch of supporters (like Mozilla) so her online identity had to go away.

I know. That's something you should be ashamed of, not bragging about.

The TARDIS is definitely a woman, no matter what the French say. She loves the Doctor, and she's a ship, and it's an English TV show.

Toho sent a cease and desist to a friend of mine whose blog name ended in -zilla. She wasn't profiting from it, it was just her blog and message board name. They didn't care, out came the lawyers.

Raped AND killed.

She is a woman. Nut-punching is often our only advantage. Studies and theory is fine; when you've actually been menaced by someone intent on using you as a piece of meat and then throwing you away, get back to us.

Crystal Skull also has a female lead who doesn't spend all her time whining and shrieking, plus the kid isn't a racial stereotype.

So they got an infrared camera like the one that busted the cat burglar in San Mateo California last year? That kitty grabbed an even wider range of stuff, too. Try harder, Denis: US moggies are outdoing you.

If someone with huge physical advantages is menacing me in hand-to-hand combat, I am going to use any and all means I can to end the fight as quickly as possible. Whether that means kicking him in the nuts or shooting him, that's what I'm going to do.
