Briefly noted

Resonant has a new Hancock story, Flight—it’s Ray/Hancock but in my head it’s pre-threesome, and it’s got that “orders of magnitude stronger than your partner” thing, which is so sexy, and a killer ending. Read, enjoy, consider adding to the fandom!

Paul Alan Levy has a post up on Public Citizen's defense of CafePress against claims by the GOP that people can't put "GOP" or an elephant on politically-themed items for sale on the site. It's a great post, but Paul describes this image as "a portrayal of a figure labeled 'GOP' peering into a toilet stall labeled 'men' and occupied by a figure." Peering? Is that what they're calling it these days? Paul, I think, has led a sheltered life, despite his relentless defense of free speech.

The funniest part of Levy's post is the discovery that even republicans have adopted "sheeple" as a word.

Oh, the heady days of my youth! When I only knew of one specific and very crazy person (in XF) who used that term! I mean, if anybody would pick up that word, it would be froth-at-the-mouth political enthusiasts, but "sheeple" will forever be stuck in my mind as associated with a woman who believed that Agents Scully and Mulder should do ecstasy and go to a rave.

It's actually an anti-GOP shirt that uses "sheeple," so things haven't changed that much!

I'm glad I have such a bad memory that most of my XF trauma is lost to me. Though ask me sometime about tangerines as useful comparisons for male genitalia ...

tangerines as useful comparisons for male genitalia

Ow! Also, zest in new places. That's a very unfortunate comparison.

I must admit, I never thought of the zest. I think that if contact with your partner's genitalia shaves bits off your own you have problems that go beyond your enormous schlong.

Is this by any chance the person who wrote, "Scully, where's my car?" Because while that was ridiculous and crack!fic, it was also fucking funny, if I recall.

How is that one of about two fic titles I remember from XF fandom? I read so. much. fic. at the old Gossamer website.
