Try not to be a re-animator, eh?

It's the sort of bizarre, unrealistic sentiment which is akin to a grieving gorilla mother carrying around its dead offspring, and occasionally trying to feed it as though it's still alive. I've no idea when it became acceptable to treat television series like deceased relatives, and get all...mopey, and emo about their passing, but yesterday's ( Read more... )

I'm not even going to apologize on their behalf, because I've done all I can to make it easier for off-worlders to contribute here, and if LiveJournal still has a problem with spam, and feels the need to crank up what passes for comment "security", but still leave bloody great holes in its Javascript management, allowing entry padlocks to fall off if someone breathes on 'em too hard, then that's an indication of how much they're despised by the universe at large.

Hmm...maybe they should've put Harry Hill in the show. (Officially, I mean.)

The best I can offer you in the way of anagrams are "Elven roams" and "mean lovers", but it's been a bit of a week...
