Literally dropped my jaw.

Oh, *that* guy.

He gets around.

Nog always used high quality goods in his negotiations. He wanted to build lasting relationships.

Quark sold crap and did it brilliantly. He wasn't shy about cheating, either, but he definitely had a moral code.

Anyway, Nog's goal is strategic advantage, Quark's is profit. That affects the event.

Have you ever heard anyone say, "Great Scott!"? "Great Caesar's Ghost"?

Me neither.

My sister-in-law and her family live in Brattleboro! Great town. And today? Small but mighty! I was in South Hadley :-)

Sharks always have wheels. That's just science.

There's not a lot of risk in the Five Colleges area if Western MA, where I live. It's not like that elsewhere. These folks are brave.

Be careful out there. Most of us aren't protesting in fully occupied cities. If you're in the street in DC, you're brave as hell. Well done all of you.

Here at our local No Kings.

I’d say turnout is perhaps 4X that of June.

Sorry to inform Mike Johnson, I haven’t run into anyone paid to be here, or “antifa,” or anti-American. Many veterans. Lots of attendees thanking the pair of Fairfax Country policeman strolling around keeping an eye on things.

Oh, wait, a bunch moved to baskets on the other hand end. This is good.

I almost got evicted once because my apartment was such a mess.

With my limited view, I can see you got that blue box into the queue; that's not a small deal and under the circumstances counts for a lot. You started. It's okay if it takes a while, you're still at it.

Heading off to South Hadley to protest the fascists and the continued stormtrooper invasions of our cities.

Rock on, y'all. #NoKings.

Virginia Guiffre's book is coming out, and the excerpts already published make him look even worse than he already looked. He ain't Yorking anymore.

A muscle car is very, very different! Beauty.

And he's a team player. As wonderful as Keanu Reeves is, he's not an ensemble guy. He's a movie star. He's the best.

JLD is a treasure. I'd love to be able to work it into the current Gods and Monsters arc in the Gunn DCU. I mean, as long as Matt Ryan can still play Constantine and you find a way to bring Tala Ashe over from Legends :-)

In that car, the fuel tank is right next to the fuel pump, in the trunk of the car. The battery was under a shelf behind the passenger seat. Gas pumped into the engine as long as it could.

I had apparently jostled the fuel line loose. Oops.

She didn't buy the car.

Side matter: I look forward to Have I Got News For You. The three of you have solid skill and chemistry. Just great, great writing, guests.

Nice job, Movie Star!

Periodically, Gwyneth Paltrow's kid comes over with some Macintosh Apples, and suggests you pull up The Beatles.
