odds and ends

Was watching the story on the DNC on the late news last night and mum said, "The two Johns. Are they anything like the two Ronnies?"
*not sure how many of the USers know the Two Ronnies*

As soon as you turn on the radio/stereo/tv, CJ starts whistling and chattering away.
And they love corn on the cob.

Where the fuck do all these fanfic authors (I shudder to use that expression in relation to them) get the idea that Jed desperately wanted/wants a son?
And as for the trainwreck from that idiot that I've had run-ins with...her characters are unrecognisable, the storyline is so far off the rails...and yet she has others praising her and wanting more?
It eludes me.

This is very true.

But in Two Cathedrals, he actually said it: "That was my son! What did I ever do to yours?"

Should I capitalize some of that? Dunno; not religious.

Not religious either...
I guess i see a difference between treating them as his sons/daughters and "wanting" a biological son.

I see the difference, too, but I think there's room to explore it as a what-if, although I agree that I haven't seen a really good treatment of the theme.
