Up Front: First, Come to Your Conclusion, in reply to Emma Hart,
There is a TON of Aragorn/Frodo. There’s a ton of Aragorn/Frodo mPreg. I just… mmm.
There's part of me that is glad George RR Martin isn't recessive about his seething, incandescent disdain for fanfic, because I'm not sure my tiny little vanilla mind could handle Tyrion slash.(I've already wasted enough times writing bingo cards for folks complaining that Daenerys and Prince Guyliner's wedding night in the TV Game of Thrones wasn't "romantic" like in the book. Not quite how I read the relevant passage, but you live and learn I guess.)

Let’s even just use Legolas, like in the pictures on that article. PLEASE NOTE: these tender “erotic” relationships are NOT SAFE FOR WORK.
There's also Gimli-Legolas slash -- where *cough* enthusiasm overwhelms certain practicalities. :)

Speaking of credible contributions, I’ll take this opportunity to blatantly link-whore a new site, The Lady Garden.
Fingers crossed that the beds are liberally planted with troll-repellent as The Stoppery seems to have vanished. Boo.

Hard News: The witless on the pitiless, in reply to Danielle,
Except for the gay bits. Those, they really take a lot of notice of, for some reason.
And Newt Gingrich has so much respect for the institution of marriage he's done it three or four times -- efficiently making sure he had the next one racked up before dumping the incumbent.
That has little to do with his religious beliefs (IIRC, he became a Baptist in graduate school and converted to Catholicism in 2009) and everything to do with being a hypocritical douche-nozzle.

Hard News: The witless on the pitiless, in reply to andin,
See waving guns around probably wont solve anything, even while quoting verse.
Hey, Andin, if you're already written off as a psychotic thug who's morally indistinguishable from mass murderers why not?

Hard News: The witless on the pitiless, in reply to Ross Mason,
So, are we going to get into the debate of my religious believer being more moral than your religious believer are we?
Ross: Yeah, because the overwhelming majority of law-abiding religiously observant folks in this country are absolutely morally equivalent to Bin Laden, Fred Phelps and Ian Paisley. Just as the squalid malfeasance of Messers Mao, Stalin and Hitler prove how evil all atheists are.
But no – I’m not going to get into this debate, because it invariable ends with me wanting to get smug, dogmatic evangelicals (both theist and non-) in a room and hand down an epically un-Christian pimp-slapping while misquoting Ezekiel 25:17 :

Russell:
Looks like you made Bomber cry... .
I have just received the equivalent of a drive-by shooting from a Lexus hybrid.
But hey, at least Chris Trotter get its...what Bradbury got from Trotter will respond to antibiotics, I hope.

Hard News: The witless on the pitiless, in reply to Simon Grigg,
I agree completely. I do find the claim, oft heard, that ‘our understanding of these guiding texts has evolved and we no longer take parts of it literally’, or words to that effect, disingenuous and utterly dishonest.
Either you buy into these brutal bronze age and/or desert tribe morals and teachings or you dismiss them. There is no half way point surely. You can’t pick and chose the ‘word’ as the times require.
Thanks for that man-splain, Simon. I will start keeping strict kosher, shunning menstruating women and kill the sodomite I live with immediately. Since I really should be following Leviticus to the letter or be a hypocrite, right?

Hard News: The witless on the pitiless, in reply to HORansome,
I should point out that my hardline on the macron comes from associating with linguists and teachers of Te Reo.
And fair enough too. Personally I'm less bent about macrons and enraged by media outlets whose pale pink editors think annual visits to Waitangi and Ratana and having the usual unrepresentative (but amusingly incendiary) rentaquote brown-necks on tap count for serious coverage of Maori society and politics.
Different strokes for different folks...

Isn’t that what Hone himself did, ammended and apologised? ;)
As my Nan had frequent cause to say to me: "The apology is all very nice, dear. Next time, have nothing to apologise for." She also used to say God gave us two eyes, two ears and only one mouth and they should be used in the same proportions.
