Stealth, who is your favorite "Peanuts" character and why?
-------------------- The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

- Psychedelic Furs vs. Echo and The Bunnymen
- The Bangles vs. The Go Go's
- New Order vs. The Cure
- The Furs triumph over the Bunnymen. Richard Butler's lyrics are witty, sharp, and they actually have a point, unlike Ian McCulloch's.
- The Go-Gos beat the Bangles because they're more forward-thinking, being rooted in punk rather than psychedelic revivalism; nothing against psychedelic revivalism per se, but it takes a talent such as that of Julian Cope to make psychedelia RELEVANT as opposed to mere nostalgia.
- The Cure wins a decisive victory over New Order because, as with the Furs vs. Bunnymen battle, Robert Smith writes better and clearer lyrics than Barney Sumner, and Smith is a more affecting singer as well.

Snoopy. He is the American equivalent of Winnie the Pooh: a wonderfully whimsical antropomorphic animal who lives in a world of his own, pursues simple pleasures, and almost always comes out on top. Anyone can relate to Snoopy.
Peppermint Patty is a close second because she, too, lives in a world of her own, and I find her the most endearing and engaging of the kids.
Marcie is third because she and Peppermint Patty are the greatest female comedy team in comics.
Pretend that you are a lawyer. A former client of yours calls you at 3 am. Her boyfriend, whom she lives with, has just been arrested in a bar fight and she would like you to see about getting him out of jail. You talk to the botfriend in the jail where he tells you about the fight and the incidents leading up to it. He also tells you that he is HIV positive. He was a little concerned because he got a small cut in the fight. But he then realizes he actually got the cut when he was knocked down as the police entered. So he asks that you not tell anyone of his HIV status, including his girlfriend as she does not know.
The rules of professional responsibility states that all conversations between a lawyer and the client are to be held in strictest confidence. A lawyer may disclose information if nondisclosure could result in imminent death or great bodily harm.
So is the boyfriend your client and do you tell the girlfriend his HIV status?

That's OK. The class discussion centered around "imminent" and "great bodily harm".

Not really. I watched a couple episodes of Fringe, but Joshua Jackson annoys me and the show itself annoyed me by being weird just for the sake of being weird; I watched the first episode of Dollhouse, then forgot to watch the second episode, which I took as a hint that I wasn't really interested.
On cable, I watch the VH1 Top 20 Countdown, even though (or because?) most of the music is terrible. A couple years ago, I went through a Food Network phase, and more recently, I went through a Disney Channel phase, but their shows aren't as good -- good as in: fun for both kids and kids-at-heart -- as they used to be, although I'm very much looking forward to the "Princess Protection Program" Disney Channel Original Movie.

Though she now has a different name and has nearly 8000 posts, I think we can all benefit from the wit and wisdom of Fanfie!
Fanfie, what is your favorite thing to have for lunch?

Fanfic Lady, have you considered providing some version of the Holiday Toast this year, if we can't get Kent to make a cameo?
Also, what was the best-received gift you ever gave someone for Christmas/winter fest of choice?
-------------------- Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on flickr. Drop by and tell me that I sent you.
