  as a v- who just started a new position only 3 weeks ago, this makes me happier than the ginger garlic beef in bldg 16....
• Commented on That "Annihilation Score" spoiler thread you're all asking for
  "Mo doesn't really have any serious grievances about Bob, she just doesn't care all that much about him; also, she's almost pathologically jealous" isn't quite what I said. I think the grievance about Mhari staying over WAS blown out of...
• Commented on That "Annihilation Score" spoiler thread you're all asking for
  To buffer my last thought- Mo's been married and divorced before though, so very likely she's more jaded and less optimistic, if not less drinking-the-romantic-koolaid than Bob....

  Alternate American perspective- as one who's horrified at our overly litigious society and the sprawl of our out of control security state, I found the Black Chamber/Disney/Marvel/DC response (possibly one and the same? who knows what's REALLY under Space Mountain?...

  Mo's bonafides as a hacker could be considered established in Atrocity Archive when she comes over for their first date, sees the unpublished volume of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming, and temporarily forgets Bob's even there. Mo's bonafides as...

  I know Charles doesn't like or watch much TV, but did anyone else see the "Dr. Julian Sanchez" name in there and wonder if it was a Garth Merenghi's Darkplace reference?...
• Commented on That "Annihilation Score" spoiler thread you're all asking for
  I'm 3/4 of the way through, loving it, but I have to say, Mo's perceived age-induced invisibility is far from solely a female province. Suffice to say there's at least one more incredibly common, based physical attribute (NOT even going...

  the fact that they had to pay for a lot of it out of their own pocket...I don't know if this is the main thing that makes it seem realistic, or if again, it's the main thing that makes the...
• Commented on Crib Sheet: The Rhesus Chart
  I've read about it before today and I still can't see what the real point of Mass Observation was. The fictional backstory makes about as much sense to me as the real one....
