Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

from the archives - a good article about how maps can shape our understanding of the world, and why they should be more than just descriptors of where cars move around

Great find.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

we should all move to North Dakota.
Hell no. 


Regardless of the oil-drilling, it remains one of the most god-forsaken places on earth.  North Dakota makes Florida (even with crazy ex's, elderly people who can't drive, and hordes of Canadistanians) a very Paradise in comparison. 

The only reason I ever venture into that misbegotten state -- and that's just across the border into Fargo -- is to visit my brother and his family (who are delusional and have convinced themselves they actually like it there ::) ).

Fascinating map!  You don't think of most of those other places as being that far north.

Someone on Reddit made a map of the world re-sized according to the respective populations of most countries, very cool
