Eek, it was just an expression. Don't think I want to read about someone taking it literally.

I taped it over and disabled the camera and mic. Thanks.

Here's the long version, but I don't know what it's about. They're clearly talking up the joys of camping to get the kid out of the house for a week or two, the extra gift to the wife looks like game controllers, but the breaking motion? No idea. "I'm going to break you?"

Really? Is that something I should be doing? I went into the settings and stopped it from automatically booting up when the computer turns on. Not enough? I don't like the pet commercial not because it's using the Rolling Stones music, but because the song is "Sympathy for the Devil". Is that really the message you want to be sending, doggie? The snack mix ad is infuriating. Step the fuck right off and leave my snacks alone. It's none of your damned business what I'm eating. I'd be all "Get that arm away from me before I break it off and beat you over the head with it."

So heartwarming to read about Riley chatting in the middle of the night. She finally realized she was safe and was probably telling you all about it. Interesting about the dominance thing, stew. Lucy was here first, but Swiffer took over almost immediately. Lucy really doesn't seem to mind, but sometimes, when she's on the bed with me and wants under the cover, she looks around to make sure Swiffer isn't watching first. If she is, she won't get under the cover. Swiffer doesn't usually want under the cover, herself, so it has to be some kind of dominance thing playing out. I don't interfere unless she's chasing Lucy or trying to block her in a room by laying in the doorway. They have no problem sharing the couch/futon, and neither hesitates to jump up if the other is already there. They'll sleep side by side and groom each other, so I'm not worried. I let them sort it out.

Here in the middle of Indiana, I've always said it "eggz-it" *shrugs* But it really bugs me when people say "axe" instead of "ask", so I admit I'm inconsistent. I say highway or interstate instead of freeway. Rarely is I-70 called anything else, but I live by State Road 267 and it's almost always just 267. That's also close to US 40, which is also called Highway 40, and rarely, 40. That last is mostly in directions, such as "take 267 up to 40 and then cut across to Dan Jones".

Well, what would he say when it became obvious the child looked more like the Starks than Robb Stark himself? He has to explain away the Stark looks, which were apparently stronger than the Targaryen silver hair and delicate features (or however Lady Olenna described them to Margaery*). ETA: Found it. Olenna describes her Targaryen intended as having a "pretty little ferret face and ludicrous silver hair"

Actually, no. They're all the same. I remember some flack when they first came out because the migraine label cost more. They now all cost the same. They argue that people with back pain won't buy something that says "migraine", so they have labels for different things and people think they're getting the special version for their type of pain. I had a headache while down south some years ago and could only find Goody's headache powders at the gas station (and those powders are a whole 'nother post). I couldn't find a version with acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine; only acetaminophen and aspirin, so I took that, added truck-stop coffee for the caffeine and went on my way. It worked!

That's worse than the "Do you poop correctly?" infomercial for the Squatty Potty.

Woot! Thanks for the heads-up!

But he didn't pay her! So... he stiffed her twice? Thank you! I'll be here all week!

Thanks, DarkRaichu! Also forgot to mention I really liked both Cersei and Margaery's dresses. Cersei's looked very Tywin-esque, probably to emphasize her lineage, and militaristic, which was probably a subliminal threat. Margaery's was another light blue dress, but much different with the draping across the front. Interesting how her style changed over the seasons and yet featured so many light blue dresses!

I want to see the look on Euron's face when he realizes Yara and Theon have stolen the march on him by getting to Daenerys and allying with her first. And if Dany and Yara could flirt some more with each other while he realizes it, it would be even better.

I have to admit I was cackling right along with you. "Confess!" Dumps wine on her face. I will miss Margaery. She was a great character. Stupid Sparrow for not letting her leave when she sussed out disaster brewing, 'though realistically, they couldn't have run far enough away in the time they had left. But, dammit. I liked Arya's revenge, but couldn't really see what Walder saw when he peeled back that marvelously flaky crust. A finger? An ear? What? Olenna and Varys need to make that teleporter device available to the masses. They'd make a mint. Loved Olenna deliberately mangling Obara's name, and telling the other two to zip it and let the grown-ups talk.

Eww.

Still, "Be Legacy"? That just sounds clunky. Is it a literal word-for-word translation that just doesn't make a lot of sense in English?

Whoa! That's like a bad acid trip, or the very personification of the munchies after smoking pot.

That's quite the mental image!

Oh, she's gorgeous!

I'd heard the saying, but didn't know it was called "Rule 34".

The expression should be "dead as a doornail", although you'll hear mangled versions such as "dead as a doorknob" or "dead as a dormouse". The door nail is dead because it was traditionally pounded all the way thru the door and then the protruding end was hammered flat to hold it securely. Such a nail was unable to be reused even if you could easily remove it, so it is "dead".

Thank you, Popples!

Oopsie.

Please tell me it was intentional comedy to have the Waif doing her best Robert Patrick as the fucking Terminator impression in that chase scene, all emotionless and she JUST KEPT COMING. God, that was so bad. I didn't know whether to wince or snicker.

What?
