Aren't romance novel covers designed so that the consumer can tell at a glance if that's their niche type?
Bill Stewart #51: The two consistent rules of TSA behaviour are "We can do anything we feel like and you can't argue" and "[whatever arbitrary behaviour they've just started doing or only do at this one airport] has ALWAYS been the rule, and you should know that, citizen-unit!"
So, you think trying to get a TSA employee arrested for theft under color of law wouldn't work?
I'd like to recommend that old threads be protected from thread necromancy, automatically sending new messages into moderation.
When the TSA confiscates your property, what happens when you call 911 to report the theft?
I'm looking forward to the dramatic snow mobile charge up Mount McKinley to defeat the Ruskies during the New Cold War.
Serge #81: Teddy Roosevelt's Rouge Riders.
As cross-dressing biopic actioners go, that one sounds like it has plenty of potential. Recommended for exercising those under-worked cringe muscle groups.
Eraserhead!!! It has been a long-standing point of differentiation between me and normal people that I like Eraserhead, Zardoz and Liv Tyler's Armageddon.
I've always wondered how Richard Nixon managed not to get kicked out of the Quakers.
What is it going to take to impeach East Texas district judge(s) who rubber-stamp love and kisses for patent trolls?
Up on the chopping block? Podcasting.
Josh Jasper #122: I'm hoping Someone at Making Light takes a whack at the Harlequin / Author Solutions deal.
Here's a link to the announcement, for future reference.
Mary Aileen #95: My reaction to that news was, "The government wants me dead." No particular risk factors, but I was diagnosed at 42 with stage 2 breast cancer that turned up in a routine mammogram--no lump that anyone could detect, including three different doctors.
My logic is the assumption that there will be more Democrat casualties in the under-tested 40+ age range because it's the rich Republicans who can usually afford catastrophic health care. It's the same principle that drove the sluggish Katrina response effect. To be sure, however, I'd need details of the political/stock-holding affiliations of the panel that made the recommendation, to check for conflicts of interest.
In any case, It's fortunate that your situation was detected, and I hope that you are doing well.
The new report that de-emphasizes the importance of mammograms sounds to me like a Republican plot to eliminate surplus female voters (the ones who can't afford catastrophic health care).
I think of Gotham and Metropolis as different boroughs of New York City, each with its own character, as the others boroughs have.
Tim Hall #34: What's the best response to idiotic articles like this? Ignore the troll, expose to ridicule, or feed his address to the spammers?
B. Expose to ridicule (preferably with train-theme poetry).
Marilee #906: Earl Cooley III, are you related to this smoke jumper?
I wish I was; he was a real larger than life kind of guy. If there is any relation, it's very distant. Another Cooley I wish I was related to was one of the inventors of the fax machine. One Cooley who also passed recently I hope to hell I'm not related to caused me to have to prove that I was a loyal supporter of the EFF and not a venal destroyer of lives.
I think that Superman was made an honorary citizen of either The World or the United States by decree during the Silver Age. The Metal Men were citizens of the United Nations, if I remember correctly.
If they decide to no longer be a charity over hard-line politics, then they should lose their tax-exempt status and be financially gutted.
That could have been a ruse to flush out which Warsaw Pact countries were the most disloyal and in need of punitive correction with tanks.
I took the phrase "Many of his kind became you-know-what in an age when puns were considered the highest form of humor" to mean "Many vampires became you-know-what in an age when puns were considered the highest form of humor", so what did the vampires become during the golden age of puns? One would think that if he'd meant "many people were turned into vampires during the golden age of puns" he probably would have said so, in the interests of clarity.
