Terminal Testosterone Poisoning. (I just wish I could figure out a 'T' word to replace Poisoning... )
-
Islamics are just behind the times. Christian nations used to be just as bad. Hell, at least they tend to use a nice, clean beheading instead of burning someone at the stake. So much quicker that way, and isn't that nice? (I added the last sentence in an effort to make the tone clear, but in case I failed: tongue in cheek.)

Checking my email almost always comes first.

Depending on the webhost, that may or may not be possible. I know the private webhost I work with runs under a similar principle... so long as my website stays under 10GBs. Once I hit 10 GBs, they have a contractual line item in their terms of service that lets them get away with not doing it. Why? Because they want me to pay more for that privilege

I'd love to write more happy endings, but the unhappy ones are so much better...

"More?! You want MORE?!" (At least Oliver was polite )

Military family doesn't mean you live on military food. I'm a navy brat, and I didn't exactly eat at the mess very often. And even then, it was usually the chief's mess onboard ship, which serves fairly good food.

It was as if the Grim Reaper had reached out with his scythe and sent it whirling through Jared's enemies. Quick, accurate, deadly bursts of fire exploded from his hands, shredding flesh and destroying armor as he walked through the elite guard President Ellison had gathered around himself. He wasn't as close to the White House as he'd hoped, but he was close enough. Five times his armor jerked as he launched AA rockets, taking down gunships and jet craft that tried to swoop in and engage him

Would You Allow Your Son To Play With A Barbie Doll?

Before the school board for expulsion... twice? Yeouch! Kilt and combat boots? I like this kid! -
Strong lyrics, I will agree. Very, very strong lyrics. The list of names at the end was just right too -- not too short, so as to focus on the individuals, but not so long as to become monotonous. Two good qualities for the song.

Redemption isn't a direct sequel, but I think it may be close enough for your purposes.

I should point out that my major is Computer Science. I sit and type at a computer all day for school, work, and play. Yes, I am going to be a very, very proficient typist.

Just one short week to go and it'll all be over. As for his communications... they went nation-wide, in an instant. For a short period of time, he 'hacked' into the national command communications system. He blasted out on every TV and radio station, (courtesy of the Emergency Broadcast System), he blasted out on every unencrypted military frequency, he blasted out on most of the encrypted frequencies. He was heard. And honestly, if someone made a speech like that to you just how 'effective' do you think it would be?

An alarm grew louder and louder, until finally it penetrated Jared's silent, wracking sobs. The pod had breached atmosphere, and had successfully avoided the surface-to-space missiles attempting to engage it, but it was rapidly approaching a cloud of surface-to-air missiles that were reaching out to destroy it. It's massively overpowered engines blasted, jerking it around in a frantic evasion pattern that left Jared bruised and would have battered a normal human being to death. And then the

I know you didn't mean to be insulting, but comic book?!

Chapter 17 The massive capacitors which provided the large bursts of power the jump drive required took days to recharge after the Nova Maria's latest maneuvers. Jumping from one location to another took a fair bit of juice, but nothing absurd. Matching velocity with objects moving at an appreciable fraction of lightspeed, as Mathews explained, was another matter entirely. "The drive can't create velocity from nothing," he explained to Admiral Beech. "I don't understand the physics of it,

One of my roommates explained the boy/girl one to me once. Apparently, they're so stuck with the standard 'guy dates girl' paradigm that they simply cannot reach past that to the idea of two guys going at it as 'equals'. Someone has to be 'in charge' as it were. I don't know if they've explained that theory to their girlfriends yet; I wanna be a fly on the wall when they try.

Why oh why did you have to use the word 'fire'...

"You want me to kill the President of the United States," Jared asked, jaw dropping. In a way, he'd kind of expected it, but actually hearing the words flat out was a shocker. It was the kind of line you simply didn't hear. Ever. "Yes," Admiral Beech nodded. "As I said, I'd prefer to capture him for arrest, but I just don't think that's practical. The man is a menace, and needs to be brought under control. Hell, assuming you could capture the man, you're just moving the date of his execution

The article didn't say it directly, but I think it implied that all they can touch on that 140 mil is the interest.

Because making a walkway out of cake would create a very messy situation?

"I don't wanna wake up," Jared sulked, cuddling even tighter to his adult version of a teddy bear. "Jared, sooner or later your kids are going to poke their noses in here," Mathews pointed out. "Davey knows better," Jared muttered. "And he'll keep Cody from doing anything, either." "And what happens if Davey gets up after Cody? What's going to keep your younger son from barging in and leaving us with all sorts of difficult questions to answer?" Mathews asked. "I already get to answer t

From what I read in the article, they were saying there was insufficient evidence to prove the skeleton was gay. (Actually skeleton's can't be gay, that takes a living being ) All it was proof of was a 'transgendered' individual, which might simply mean someone who had a more feminine aspect than was normal. If A, then B -- C and onward is not necessarily proven.

Do -- try 'fire and the flames'; 'Evening Star', 'Heart of a Dragon', 'Dawn over a new world', 'My Spirit Will Go On'... there's plenty of goodies there. Heck, if you listen to My Spirit Will Go On, you're listening to some of the music the 'finale' of Guardians was written to.
