- Second story in 24 hours I've read with a character named Pugh ... - Beryllium May 1, 20:40 1
  - well you're obviously living in a simulation, and that's the outside world leaking in. -- nm - mafic May 1, 21:11
"we'll call you when you're at the front of the queue." apparently should have ended with "and immediately put you on hold again." -- nm - mafic May 1, 20:04

- Jackels are dumb, the python almost had the badger dead, if they let it finish strangling then they could have easily taken the now sluggish snake. -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 19:55
- Man, do not &@^# with a honey badger. -- nm - Mop May 1, 19:33

I think that Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty is an idea Sunday night TV show. Maybe even a perfect Sunday night TV show. - RelutantCynic May 1, 18:56 5

  - Yeah, Time War was interesting, but I didn't love it -- nm - TWuG May 1, 19:32 1
