Fry and Laurie



Facts so often get in the way of a good moral education (this was produced before creationism became all the rage over here...) ah, the things they teach in schools these days.
Stolen from some lefty blog or another. Atrios, I think. Aren't F and L young and adorable?

    Aw. Memories. I was still at school (barely) when this first showed. Loved it.

    I remember it well, too. (Just saw it on YouTube about a month ago!)

    What do you mean, no one comments? I comment here all the time. You just never answer.

    Darling Kate:

    The prize arrived on the weekend and so I posted a short post about it.

    People who only know Laurie from House need to have their eyes opened. He is marvelous in Black Adder.

    In Blackadder Goes Forth, you have Fry, Laurie, Rowan Atkinson, and Tony Robinson, a veritable Murderer's Row of British comedy.

    Fry & Laurie are brilliant. I love their gently baffled rebuttals best of all - "Well, I don't actually call myself a school ..."

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
