There's a stocking stuffer joke here somewhere, but I just can't get to it:
9:18:04 PM Holly: Want to hear the next chapter of my attempt to sleep my way (well, Joy's way) into the Supreme Court?
9:18:41 PM Nick: Sure
9:18:53 PM Nick: But then I have to learn an enzyme pathway.
12:38:25 PM Holly: God. Just graduate already and let's go make our own reality show.
12:38:44 PM Holly: That somehow just involves us being fabulous and needlessly catty to everyone we encounter.
12:38:55 PM Holly: That'll put the "real" in reality.
12:39:04 PM Holly: FOX'll love it.
12:39:22 PM Ryan: well, there will be a lot of casual sex.
12:39:40 PM Ryan: and drinking.
12:40:16 PM Holly: And coups.
12:40:56 PM Ryan: i think most shows are lacking in coups.
12:41:20 PM Holly: Yeah, where's our reality show for the sucession to the emperor's throne in Japan or something?
12:41:26 PM Holly: There's some stakes, right there.
12:41:45 PM Ryan: actually, that could be the reality show -- the harlowe/moran regime is placed in charge of some small country and has 1 year to whip it into shape.
12:42:14 PM Ryan: extreme makeover: lithuania.
12:43:17 PM Holly: There's an alliterative joke about boobs and the Baltic that I can't quite reach, but it's a start..
12:44:28 PM Holly: Also, there will be pageants.
12:44:57 PM Ryan: well, it will be rewritten by the network monkeys anyway.
12:45:27 PM Holly: Not after we have our own network.
12:45:35 PM Ryan: can the pageants be for prettiest guerilla/assassin
12:46:00 PM Holly: YES. "You can't spell assassin without ASS! So WORK IT!"
12:47:17 PM Ryan: let's see your talent at dispatching an enemy with an m16!
12:47:29 PM Holly: ....and then twirling it.
12:49:05 PM Holly: And instead of George and Carolyn we'll have Julie Andrews and Slobodan Milosevic. (Well, actually, I'd totally want Carolyn there.)
12:50:23 PM Ryan: oh, that goes without saying.
12:50:23 PM Ryan: i think her and slobodan are practically the same person
9:05:51 AM Nick: How high do you have to be to rate secret service?
9:05:59 AM Nick: Do Supreme Court Justices get them?
9:06:09 AM Nick: Do their families?
9:06:38 AM Holly: Justices? Probably. Families? I don't know. I mean, even if something were to happen to one of them there's eight more to influence. Doesn't seem to be much point.
9:07:32 AM Nick: Yeah, but aren't they worried about crazy right-wingers who would want to shoot a crazy, liberal, fetus killer?
9:07:53 AM Holly: ....Alito? He'd only kill a baby if it was poor. And he was hungry.
9:07:34 AM Holly: Sandra Day O'Connor is so selfish.
9:07:46 AM Nick: No kidding. Get your ass back on that bench, woman.
9:07:51 AM Nick: And sit there until you die.
9:07:55 AM Nick: And then afterwards some.
9:08:06 AM Holly: Worked for Rehnquist. It was all done with mirrors.
9:08:12 AM Nick: I was speaking of justices in general.
9:08:35 AM Holly: Seriously. "My life is SO HARD. POOR ME. Watch me exert myself SITTING ON THIS STUPID BENCH."
9:08:47 AM Nick: I think that the Supreme Court should have to debate whether to keep other SC justices on life support.
9:09:04 AM Nick: It should be like Supreme Court Survivor.
9:09:12 AM Nick: With more clothing, though.
9:09:24 AM Holly: And less diversity.
9:09:50 AM Nick: When the Senate questions Alito it's really an audition.
9:10:01 AM Nick: How would this candidate look in a loincloth?
9:10:24 AM Holly: Raaaoowrrr. No wonder Roberts got confirmed.
Jesse (13:40:55): did you enjoy my Ashcroft dark poetry, by the way? I felt I should've dedicated to Bill Hicks.
