Actually... I had a rather facepalm-worthy crossover fic in my head wherin Jack Sparrow ends up with the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver... then the Doctor finds out that a high alcohol content liquid is able to seep through the cracks in the Dalek's shells and cause short circuits and possibly also mak...

The instant somebody says "I don't know what you're talking about." is a dead giveaway that shit ain't kosher and somebody knows more than they're letting on. Especially when they won't look you in the eye when saying it, and double-especially when they close their eyes when saying it. Th...

Well, there are these two little problems with doing any digs in the Middle East... 1. People still live there, and 2. They don't like each other. In Biblical proportions. What he said. My wife and I just came back from a tour in Jordan, Israel, and { Palestine | The West Bank | The Occupied Territ...

And the classic (1948) variant narapoia which is the fixed delusion that someone else is following you around, and trying to do good to you.

On that note: we stíll do not know whát exactly she did in the airforce. My experience withthose that háve been involved in Intelligence, is that they keep mum about it, ánd that none, NONE of them had even the slightest resemblance with the movie-variations of "secret agents". They were ...

It would seem that soldiers in the Wapsi-Verse are just like soldiers in the real world... what they hear when you give orders isn't always understood as you meant it... And it's one mark of a good officer that s/he is careful to give orders in a way that makes them very difficult to misunderstand ...

I'm reminded of a story (apocryphal) I read some years ago. When a major breakfast-cereal company was criticized for manufacturing "empty calorie" cereals (the usual heavily-advertized sugar-coated artificially-flavored -brightly-colored congealed-flour variety), the manufacturer stoutly i...

At this point, I'm just impressed at how much Kat has changed with regards to her interactions with others. I don't think she's ever been that amusing and casual with Monica or anyone else...she's always just seemed too much the shy, quiet wallflower. She's showing a very much more assertive and co...

What's rather impressing me right now is she's able to hover. Hummingbirds and bees can do that, but only by flapping their wings almost too fast to be seen. And to judge from the way she's holding Kath, she's doing this with her hips twisted to the side even as her chest is facing either towards o...

But her pedicurist just gets out the diamond files, oils the bearings on the Dremel, and walks away knowing that she'll be able to make this month's payment on the Bentley.

After all that Katherine has been through with Atsali ... ... and now, looking at Atsali's claws clutching Katherine's torso and carrying her entire weight ... ... I am reminded of what Marcus said to Neroon. "The next time you want a revelation, do you think you could possibly find a way that ...

Pertty strong evidence that society needs some form of Parenting License. I used to wonder what things would be like if humans were biologically unable to procreate, until and unless mature and wise enough to do a halfway decent job of it. I concluded that our ancestors probably never have made it ...

Thank you for... well, not so much correcting me, but for educating me. I know something I didn't five minutes ago. Quite welcome! I think it took me about four passes through all of the Wapsi strip archives before I had a fairly comfortable idea of who-was-whom and what-the-hell-is-going-on. It's ...

That said, the "woman" needs to be sterilized thereby making her eligible for a Darwin honorable mention, and her kids immediately sent to responsible family, and if none, foster. I really feel sorry for how the kids are likely to feel when they grow up, and hear about this. Jeesh... it's...

Good news! Twinkies could be back by the summer! Although this quote makes me a little nervous.... Our family is thrilled to have the opportunity to reestablish these iconic brands with new creative marketing ideas and renewed sales efforts and investment. With every Twinkie, you get a free Trabi?

Please note the shadow around Kat's eyes... not quite as strong as that around Bia's or Monica's but still suggestive. (OTOH, it may just be that she's gotten two black eyes...) Oh, she is going to be turning all shades of black, purple, green, and yellow, in addition to the red of blood and (perha...

Yeah, I'd say Katherine was due for a scream of frustration. Definitely due. Overdue. The only reason it hasn't happened before now, I suspect, is that events have been moving so fast that there wasn't even time for her to take a sufficiently deep breath. Good to see that it finally arrived. And she...

Phew! Glad to hear it! I misread your second posting, as "That's where she was last seen before she disappeared". Here in the Silicon Valley we've had people lose "temporarily outdoor" cats to coyotes and hawks,and we've even had the occasional mountain lion spotted down here on ...

Let's see - Spider Cliff Climb, Race Through The Stacks, the Knock Your Socks Off Bungee Jump... That would give us two bungee jumps in the Park - we'd already sorta decided that Nudge's Lake-o'-Lava Bungee Jump would be popular. Maybe Katherine's should be one of these instead? Paint the walls to ...

Oh, no...
