🎶and I would wank 500 miles 🎶

I think my list of unassailable people is pretty much just Mr. Rogers, Terry Pratchett, Dolly Parton, and Keanu Reeves, and you might have noticed the conspicuous advantage 3/4 of the list has. Also, does the Krissy thing work for really dumb ideas, too? I might need to consider it more.

And yet, we almost all seem to need to find heroes. It would be nice if we could transfer that, and celebrate/emulate certain kinds of actions instead of worshipping the person who did that particular action publicly in a particular time and place…

Only a true Messiah could be so humble! 😉

When I took the legal professional responsibility exam, I kept asking myself "What would Jack McCoy do?" Unfortunately, that was not helpful, since 50% of the time he was wrong.

"Please don't put me on a pedestal, I have terrible balance" is a great line. You should be a writer or something.

Sadly, poor old boy is losing his. Time is precious. I shall worship whilst I can.

The ancient Egyptians had the right idea about cats.

Apologies, I read that as “medicated” at first.

Fun fact: The first time I heard "wanker" used on television was in an episode of "Miami Vice" back in the eighties. It was uttered by none other than the great PHIL COLLINS. Hey John, you know if you put the letter "C" into the word "mediated" (smack in the middle) it also works for that sentence.

Honestly where we're at in the current moment… I think that the fact that someone thinks there is value in making their public persona someone who isn't a racist/sexist/transphobic fuckhead is not necessarily a thing we should dismiss anymore. Lotta mask-off folks out there now.

What would Scalzi do? Make a burrito.
