    If you recall the plot of A Christmas Carol, it did require Scrooge to have a friend (Marley) send those spirits. Louella falls short on that requirement. I wonder how that poor little dog is now.

    They stamped LOST CAUSE on her file years ago.
  5. This caused me to idly wonder what happened to Geritol which used to be hacked relentlessly on TV. Star Trek, brought to you by Geritol.

    It's a sign of both maturity and security Mac was worried about Devin's safety when he didn't return, but he didn't have a single jealous thought.

    Chapter 35 S2

    The Christmas toy trip to the hospital is always an upbeat moment.
  10. It's certainly more polite.
  11. Anyone who has seen the original version of the movie The Fly will know the vision of a fly is multifaceted.
  12. I can hear Nat King Cole singing now. "Unbelievable. That's what you are..." To the tune of Unforgettable. Radically changes the tone and meaning, doesn't it?
  13. Unbelievable was also my first thought when I saw the Word of the Day.
  14. Why? One of the last things you would want is an inconspicuous boat dock. Someone would almost certainly hit it.
  15. From the Latin inconspicuus.
  16. Of course if you happen to be really screwed up, I suppose we could call it discomboobulated.
  17. Otherwise known as how I feel when I first wake up.
  18. Discombobulate is described as a 'fanciful mock-Latin coinage' popular in the mid 19th Century. There are others of its kind, such as, absquatulate, confusticate, and spifflicate.

    I believe it was Colonel Lord Blayney.

  22. Thermodynamic efficiency aside, nuclear is still king. More reliable and deliver maximum power 92% of the time. One nuclear plant replaces almost two coal/gas plants and three to four renewable plants with equal generation capacity.

    The tattoos, fine suits, bodyguards, and vague 'business business' is classic Yakuza. We're given a family name and the Imperial family pool is small, so not related.

    Chapter 28

    Japanese society is very complex. While homosexuality has never been a crime in Japan and 68 percent are supportive of those who are gay, there is no gay marriage since the constitution proscribed after WWII defines marriage as being between a man and woman. Partners resort to adult adoption to insure legal rights. Additionally, employers often enforce the Confucian tenets of marriage and procreation. Unmarried males are not eligible for promotion.

    I would imagine a man as powerful as Kenji's father already knows. How could he not being trailed constantly by bodyguards? His desire would be to keep it discreet.
