So, going by Spuki's comparison, Putin is actually Kreacher?

I'm afraid I don't get the reference. Who's Kreacher?

Ah, thanks!

I confess, I never read/watched the Harry Potter series.

Anyway, V-Poo LOOKS like Dobby but acts like Kreacher.

He also looks a tad like a young Frank Gorshin, hence my comparisons to The Riddler.

You should give Harry Potter a read, sometime, Spuki.  Unlike Twilight and Fifty Shades of Rape Grey, its popular because its good.  Well, except for the epilogue.  Everyone hates the epilogue.

Wait what?  I loved the epilogue.  The only hate I've seen towards it is that it ruined some ships.

Yeah, I found it to be lame and generally wishy-washy. Nothing really exciting or satisfying.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

And now you've spoiled it for Spukitty. Normally I would assume that people already know about the plot to so popular book/movie series but she specifically said she didn't.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. I'm pretty sure she's been offline since I posted that, so I added spoiler tags. You may want to do the same to your quote box.

The Space Shuttles never should have been retired in the first place. If they were still in use, we wouldn't have this issue.

Speaking as a person who lives where you can easily see any launch from Cape Canaveral with your bare eyes... Sorry, but really the shuttles were just done. They were amazing and advanced when they were fist built, but take off and re entry are very hard on everything to do with their structural, hull and systems' integrity. They were each essentially rebuilt....after every single mission. That is why there were so many of them in service, and yet launches were pretty infrequent. It took many months, and many millions of dollars, to make a shuttle space worthy again after it ran a mission.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

That's okay. It was in spoilers and didn't sound exciting anyway. Also, I'm aware of who ended up with who. No big deal. At least it shows that life went back to normal & peaceful.

Also, if it's an epilogue, one can ignore it if they don't like it. They usually have a sort of "throwaway blurb" aspect to them & I'm a fan of using Fanon Discontinuity.

As Joel said to The Bots on the Satellite of Love after they watched The Girl In Lover's Lane, "You don't have to accept the ending they give you".

This is why I think fanfic is a great for of therapy. If you have an ending or plot point, rewrite it. It may not be canon but canon schmanon, it's FICTION and therefore imaginary!
