1. After more than a year and a half at my job, I have essentially given up on trying to hide any of my more endearing quirks from my coworkers. That means I come in wearing silver glitter Converse slip-ons from the children's shoe section of Target (the blessings of having small feet) and read excerpts from Dinosaur Comics out loud while trolling

... is there a chance that you need someone to weed full-time?

You could pay me REALLY BADLY. I think that would be my favorite job I had ever held in my LIFE.

[missdeviant]

Oh my god, I do not blame you. This is my first time weeding non-fiction, I am discovering it is filled with fun and hilarity. (And occasional sneezing. Book dust=fail)

Oh, oh! You could freelance yourself out to school libraries! I hear that media specialists are even MORE overtaxed workwise and probably have even MORE HILARIOUSLY OUTDATED titles on their shelves. Plus, if you took that job, you would have endless stories and examples with which to entertain your friends and/or coworkers.

(I found several books that I couldn't even begin to excerpt, for the whole book was just too precious. Page after page featuring Slim Goodbody's seventies unitard printed with human innards! The children's games book from 1958 that suggested games like "Slap Jack" where you beat other children with a rolled up newspaper, or "Cock Fight" where you held one leg behind your back, hopped, and tried to knock your similarly one-legged opponent over! Amazing.)

"Cock Fight" where you held one leg behind your back, hopped, and tried to knock your similarly one-legged opponent over! Amazing.

OMG I am calling EVERYONE I KNOW to come over and try that.

You are high. Neil/Todd = OTP!!!!!! Not Knox.

Though I will admit that there is a market for Todd desperately longing for Neil while Neil is only interested in Knox who is only interested in the beautiful Chris. Meanwhile, Chet Danbury was probably getting ploughed deeply and often by Mutt Sanders, which is why he is so attracted to the boy he thinks is Mutt's younger brother. He's hoping to do to Knox what Mutt has done to him many, many, many times. No that I've thought about it.

I've found some DPS slash, but very little. And typically it was the heartbroken Todd AFTER Neil dies, no real Neil/Todd living action.

[missdeviant]

Right, right. I mean, Neil/Todd is the TRUE pairing. It is ME who is obsessed with baby Josh Charles and his mouth. BUT STILL. I think the perfect fic would feature Neil rhapsodizing poetically about the entire cast before realizing what he wanted was right in his room all along!!!!!

OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN.

(The dearth of fic for this film is SADDENING. I mean, who could possibly pass up the AU of Neil NOT dying, becoming a doctor, and meeting GREGORY HOUSE!!!!)

[lugonn]

It wasn't Chet Danbury who kept thinking Knox was Mutt ... I don't recall the name of the actual drunken fratboy.

I'm totally being a model employee. :)
I found this was in an earlier draft of the script:
Just before the first soccer practice, the boys are back at the cave. Knox is talking about how he wants to "suck all the marrow out of Chris". Charlie gets upset that he has never been alive. Neil desires acting, Knox desires Chris, but he has nothing. Meeks tells Charlie that the romantics were passionate experimenters, dabbling in many things before settling, if ever. Charlie then declares the cave to be the "Charlie Dalton Cave for Passionate Experimentation" and that in the future everyone else needs permission to enter it. "Carpe cavem", he says.

Let me repeat - "Charlie Dalton Cave for Passionate Experimentation". 'nuff said.

Ah, an explanation for the inspiring DPS scene in my inbox earlier this week.

Yuletide has some DPS fic. Can't remember the pairings, but most of it is quite good.

I've not yet read them, but here is a small collection of DPS slash: http://members.tripod.com/~monaram/marrow/stories.html
