More Random Thoughts

How do you shut off the water in the shower such that you disconnect the handle from the pipes? My mother managed that yesterday, and now we can neither turn the water off nor on. So no shower today, and we've probably wasted 30+ gallons of water. The second plumber we called (the first hung up on my mother) is supposed to come this morning.

Where's an environmental terrorist when you really need one? I was passed on the road this morning by a shock-yellow Hummer 1, covered with bumper stickers. Among others: 'Liberals Hate America'  and Obama with a line across his face and 'Lynch him, don't elect him.' I wanted to slam my head on the steering wheel. The next car to pass me (another SUV) had but one sticker on it: "Got Hope?"  Not much anymore, thanks.

I've oft heard that Browncoats are the 'scariest fandom'. Beats me why, esp after I've just had a 3 hour dinner with 10 Browncoats representing 5 states and 2 countries to celebrate one guy coming to visit, then heading out to the movies and then the DVD player with most of them. But given the current kerfuffle over in Supernatural fandom, I think those folks might deserve the scariest fandom title. And I say that as Supernatural fan (not fanatic.) I knew about Wincest, but not about the volume of RPS and such.

There is good news today - I'm getting a raise, effective Friday. Woo-hoo!

That is definitely the most disgusting bumper sticker yet. I hope his hummer explodes in a fiery crash.

Re: Supernatural. Yeah, SGA & Torchwood are super cracky. Firefly is fanatical. But Supernatural definitely wins in the strange, ridiculous, and/or scary wank category. Well, they might be tied with Harry Potter there. And I say this with all the love in my heart for both those fandoms.

I've never really encountered many HP fans, probably because I'm not particularly into HP. The ones I've run into didn't seem esp. different from most fandoms.

No, it's not really the individual fans that I mean. More that the large fandom arguments, scandals, wanks...are a special kind of insane. Much like SPN.

And I say this as both a HP & SPN fan.
