Not for all crims, though...

Lots of cicadas in Aro Valley at present - has been for last month or so.
Not so many bees. They're there, but just average numbers.
Hate wasps.
(Loved "The Wasp Factory", though.)
Also, fan of short sentences.

Always take the blue pills.

I think we should invoke Los Bros more often. Could they be PA's next Battlestar Galactica?
I invoke it (kinda) every time I post.
Wow... My brain melted a little trying to picture what kind of wonderful world would see Hoppers and Palomar in their true glory on a television near you.
Dunno about the tely, but the movie rights have been held up, according to Wiki: "Many attempts have been made to make L&R into a movie, or series of movies. However, until recently, the movie rights had been held up in litigation for over 15 years."
I think Hppoers could make good tv.

That's Michel Gondry directing there. Yowza.
Coolio. Can't wait to watch that. (Can't watch now - at work.)

Also, just to throw a little more red meat into the lion's den here, isn't the "it'll never happen to reasonable people" argument that most here are decrying, exactly the argument pretty much the same people used to support the anti-smacking law?
Is the distinction that in one case the discretion lies with the police, in the other, with I guess an ISP or rights-holder? Guess so.
Fair point. I was broadly in favour of the anti-smacking law change, but I'd thought of this comparison too. But there does seem to be a difference in allowing discretion for the police, who are actually a law enforcement body, and who used prosecutional discretion already in other circumstances, and ISPs. Also, wasn't one of the changes to the law that it was explicitly stated that the police should use due discretion?
