We all recognize that impersonating a black person isn't automatically blackface, right? Right?

Actually, at this point I think knowing who they are is a sign of getting old. They were big (well, relatively speaking) about ten years ago, not sure if "kids these days" are all that aware of them.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

That describes every literary "sensation" of the last decade.

Provided, of course, the necessary diaphragmatical support that a corset affords.

Farscape was guilty of this one more than once.

I love the Angel ending, possibly one of the best series endings ever, but I never thought of it as a #6 - seemed a pretty definite #2, which also implies #9 (the comics notwithstanding, of course).

We're a pretty grim bunch.

That's not really a list, it's just "writer's ran out of ideas / had nothing to begin with" and covers almost every bad ending ever.

Cowboy Bebop also did the relatively rare "Everybody dies in the middle".

Wait, yeah, I read that as: the father or grandparents (if the woman is a minor) can get damages, while the spouse (or parents, minor or not) can get an injunction to stop the abortion.

I wonder if he counts Empire as one of "his movies"?

Yes. Or not. Kinda hard to tell - they're aliens.

Deserves its spot way more than NuTrek: The Blandening from where I'm sitting.

I have no problem with any of this.

I don't get any say in what I call people?

That's a really good point, many terms work fine as adjectives, but sound terrible as nouns: black, albino, gay/bisexual, etc.

You know what? I seem to have already said everything you felt the need to "educate" me about, someone needs to get off their high horse.

Hmm, I was under the impression that "dwarfism" is the catch-all term that encompasses the various underlying causes of short stature.

Can I just say that I think the term "little people" is absolutely deplorable? I can't bring myself to call anyone something so demeaning.
