    IMHO, you shouldn't even be allowed on the plane with a BMI of 35 unless you buy two or three seats.

    Oh wow. Um. Dude, you clearly don't know anything about BMI. At all. Also: really an assholish thing to say. Or: what Mark E just said.

    dc-red, type II diabetes is not an *automatic* denial of permanent residency, as my husband has it and was granted PR in 2002 after quite an extensive testing process.

    Oh no, Bob! My fellow Wire maniac!

    Well, that fucking sucks. I'm so sorry.

  • Hard News: A Full Sense of Nationhood,

    Ah, yes. As soon as I imagined Chrissie Hind's voice sing "something is lost..." it fell into place.

    It's one of my few, useless talents.

    (The use of that comma up there is totally relevant to this thread, btw. If I hadn't inserted it, I would be saying 'I have a lot of talents, only a few of which are useless'. As opposed to what I mean, which is 'I have only a few talents, and they are all useless.' All hail the comma!)

    I read it as Green Onion as well; something to do with Booker T and the MGs, I thought.

    Actually, that episode could have been improved by some Booker T and the MGs. Then again, so could most things.

    (is that a song lyric?)

    Are you thinking of The Pretenders' 'Hymn to Her'?

    Green Orion Slave Girl? Dare I ask?

    I'm shaking my head sadly over here. ;) It's from 'The Cage'! The only two-parter! That revamped pilot episode! With Vina! And Captain Pike!

    Met my husband on the internet: check.

    Can name particular Star Trek episodes based on alien characters contained therein: check.

    Thinks Emma dressing up as a Green Orion Slave Girl is possibly the most awesome thing ever: check.

    Thank god geek *is* the new black. I'd be irredeemable otherwise.

    Perhaps those people were just unromantic pragmatists, possibly to a fault. 'Want and need, but not love? Well, I suppose that'll have to do.'

    Once I saw an interview with Meatloaf (I think it was on IceTV, actually), in which he said that a surprising number of people approached him to tell him that they had 'Two Out of Three Ain't Bad' as their wedding song! He was incredulous: 'have you listened to the LYRICS?'

    I was at that Bowie show too, wondering why Brooke Fraser got all the good weather. God was on her side, clearly.

    (My unplayed song desire was 'Station to Station', but I can see why he didn't want to get all 10-minute-prog-disco-epic.)

    a montage of Mills and Boon covers through the ages

    Romance Goes Tenting . With a clown. The mind boggles.
