Yeah, about those magical special pockets:

Look people, if we can't hate on something based entirely on our own internalized socialization and prejudices and then act as if we have actual reasonable reasons in this particular case why our hating on something that is basically just an idea is not due to our internalized issues, then I don't even know what the…

I totally want Sarah Silverman to play that role.

Not me and not even my dad, but way back in the day (The Sixties), my uncle worked as a janitor at a movie studio, and while he was changing a light bulb, he lost his balance and was caught by John Wayne.

No maybes. Paul is made of all the awesome.

Is it possible she *is* Andy Kaufman?

You know how dumb I am? I honestly thought you were going to tell me she'd written a poem mocking Chait.

Welp. I see we've reached it: This is the exact moment when I stopped holding out hope for some kind of RDJr kind of recovery/second act for this girl.

OMG, that butt in the face thing! My cat does this to me ALL THE TIME! I feel you, dog. It's from love but it's still an uninvited butt in the face.

I look forward to this super-competent group of people mass-shooting themselves in their many foots with their own guns.

Yes, but to be fair, that last HP book was enormous and had a decent act break where they split it. There is no excuse for the Hobbit trilogy.

D'oh! You're right. I haven't listened in awhile and goofed on who was whom.

"His hot tub was in the shape of Science itself and was the only one of its kind in the world."

Yeah, I found out about it because I follow one of the people they've sucked into their crazy conspiracy (he has the same last name as Eleanor so OF COURSE they must be related o_O).

I stand corrected!

Dude. There is such a fine line between fandom and stalking for some people. SUCH A VERY FINE LINE!

I wonder a lot about how many slash ficcers have brothers because the way some of them write boys is... un-boy-some.

Dean/Crowley and aspects of Dean/Castiel are played against the showrunners' awareness of fandom's desires. Not so much the brothers (though they do reference it in both their fandom-focused episodes, the second of which [this year's Fan Fiction] is the superior meta show on the subject, for one because it realizes…
