103. Have you seen this (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3328480/Otto-the-octopus-wrecks-havoc.html) and this (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/11/081124-giant-squid-magnapinna.html)?

As my girlfriend said, I welcome our new Cthulhuian overlords. All hail Yog-Sothoth!

137. Servo! <3

144. That more or less happened to me way back in college when I read Trainspotting. I still say shite instead of shit sometimes.

152. Yeah, I would hit that in the most perverted way... though I have less of a desire to do so than I've had for most of the life.

155. Okay, how do I put this tactfully... Their relationship is the most poorly constructed relationship I've ever seen on television. The revelation in "The Box" came out of nowhere because there was absolutely no suggestion all season that they were still in a relationship. They *barely* had any scenes together. Moreover, their relationship has never come across as... well... healthy or adult or one with good communication. Have you ever thought they might be better off with someone else? I mean, you can break a couple up without bashing one of them.

Besides, the beauty of fanfic is that it's all about the hypotheticals. What if Danny and Lindsay had never become involved and were just good friends instead? Hell, in fiction-land, you could be her friend too, if you like her so much. (I used to like her, but I have increasing problems with the way she's been characterized.) Regardless, I can say a lot of that because I've come to respect people's desire to write self-insert fic (though I don't really understand it).

The important thing about fandom is that it makes you happy.

167. Well, at least you recognize and admit it. :-/

175. ...yeah, I'd live in Gotham. The comicverse, though.
