My new favorite thing is people outside the Hamilton fandom watching in alarm as their friends get sucked in, knowing they’ll probably be next, powerless to stop the inevitable. It’s adorable.

It’s like watching your friends move to the bay area.

(Some prepackaged food is using the advertising slogan “Forge Dinner”, presumably to indicate that it is for Manly Men or something. *tries not to hum “men in tiiiiiights”* Ursula goes on a rant about how she has actually forged metal, it’s hard fucking work, this slogan is illogical, etc.)

Ursula, on a roll: “If you were going toe to toe with an Immortal, would you want to be armed with a Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Meal?!”

Kevin: “Yes, but I’ll get into why in a minute.”

And for some reason I had to stop and laugh for like three solid minutes. I don’t know why. I got plenty of sleep, but I’m cackling and wheezing like I’m sleep-deprived. I just… the mental image… *still giggling*

  • If you’ll permit me to head the Committee on Detail, I bet I could sneak some coded messages into the text. You know you want to.

Our predecessors kept things a bit ambiguous as to how much weight we ought to give to their opinions on the floor. Filing a lot of the records of the debates away in the warehouse where they keep the Ark of the Covenant, Madison keeping his notes secret and then published them after everyone involved was dead, that sort of thing. Since you’ve already shot down my suggestion about requiring courts to interpret everything by the literal text which is written entirely in Lojban, I have an alternate proposal.

I know most of you take a dimmer view of sticking to original intent than I do. And I was expecting you to change that opinion now it’s your intent that’s in question, but congrats on your consistency I guess. Now. This is going to be an ongoing debate in the coming centuries. People looking back at the opinions of anyone who was in this room where it happened and using our opinions as proof of what we Really Meant. (Yes, that’s going to include me. The guy who just gave a six-hour speech about electing an aristocracy.)

But.

What if we made it completely impossible for anyone to say “the Founding Parents intended to put [X] in the document; therefore it must be the meaning of the law”? No one, and I mean no one, taking that seriously ever again. I can give you that.

Imagine: some future scholar, poring over the text because she’s in eighth-grade social studies and might get called on soon. And she notices that if you take the first word of the Preamble, the second word of the first clause, and so forth, it spells out a 419 scam. Or it says that da Vinci shot Kennedy, or gives ambiguous directions to a nonexistent buried treasure, whatever you like. I’m open to suggestions. In any case, your least favorite mode of interpretation will be dead. 

Plus, hidden messages are cool.

You know you want to.

CEO of a major corporation: What are the teens into these days?

Assistant: Well sir, it seems they’re blogging about… the Founding Fathers

CEO: I need a real answer, Jones!

Assistant: Sir, that IS the real answer

CEO:.. I don’t understand what the children want

jk rowling’s reasoning as to why fenrir greyback turned remus into a werewolf: remus’s father insulted him so he did it as an act of revenge

the actual reason greyback bit remus: the temptation to succumb to the fact that biting remus whose name literally means ‘werewolf mcwerewolf’ would be the greatest feat in lycanthropic irony the world had ever seen

Sam: You’re sweet

Alison: You’re sweeter, honey.

Sam: I will accept your corny endearments tonight

Alison: What, so now you’re comparing me to high-fructose corn syrup? Sweet, but unhealthy? :p

Sam: I knew you’d go there

Sam: Puns everywhere

Sam: All over the carpet

Alison: Oooh, I can’t wait to make a bad pun during Passover and then tell Kelsey “It’s totally fine for *Sephardim* to pay corny compliments during Pesach.” :p

Sam: And you are going to save it for months

Alison: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss

Sam: And inflict it on a poor, unsuspecting Kelsey

Alison: Indeed. I am a terrible girlfriend.

I thrive on attention

Wait, what?

Oh!

People were talking as if it were a virus, so once someone quit the metaphor and explained, my immediate second reaction was that this was going to be the best use of Brin’s tag for Tumblr updates. And, well,

#The Great Tumblr Apocalypse

I’m pretty sure we’re all going to be eaten by zombies.

…good point. I guess apocalyptic things have happened.

(Aww, you thought of me!)
