It's the exact same cast as the Firefly. I think that Sci-Fi is airing it on Friday nights.

I don't know why. That role sucked. No lines and silly special effects. And I've never seen Torres in anything (I don't think), but a google of her shows that she is less than impressive in the looks department.

Don't get a Marvel fangurl started on Storm. The character is awesome, the role and the casting was awful. Halle Berry is simply not imposing enough to be Storm. She's 6 feet tall and intimidating.

Looks like a good deal.

Who is responsible for cleaning the car after the last user parks it in its designated space on a street near you? I would probably get the car that's just been used by some kids for a White Castle run.

Instead of putting these guys in jail, they should put them on the city counsel.

2. If they want to moonlight putting in the Manhattan-to-Kennedy subway link, too, that would be super.

I think this just disproved the idea that transportation infrastructure is something necessarily more efficiently provided by government.

I wonder what tipped the G off that they were building it. Anyone know?

But it looks like the beautiful, good-hearted prostitute chick is gone? And was Gina Torres in Firefly? I only remember her from the Angel maggot-y Goddess role.

The sex was really, really good. Like, the best sex I've ever had with anyone on the first go round. And I'm really, really giddy that he's coming to see me in four days.

Don't jinx anything by thinking too much too early. Just enjoy it for now.

She's in the movie. I think she's gorgeous.

She's the second in command in Firefly/Serenity. She was also in the first season of Alias as a Cuban spy/hitwoman.

Gina Torres was in Firefly (and in Cleopatra 2525, which I really liked, but nevermind). But I'll be bummed if the "legitimate businesswoman" is gone.

Yes, happy workers make for quick work and it's hard for the MTA to match that cartel salary and bonus structure.

Nosy neighbors. But the official word is it was the Canadian border guards.
Imagine how much dirt they had to haul away, and how much wood they would have had to use.

There were unconfirmed reports that an audio tape of automobile repairs was used to mask the digging work inside the hut.

Canadian border officials were tipped off that something was being built in late 2003, and later received reports of wood being delivered to the Aldergrove property and debris being taken away.

The smugglers spent more than a year building the 360-foot (110-meter) tunnel that ran from a Quonset hut-style storage building in the rural Aldergrove neighborhood of Langley, British Columbia, to the living room of a home in Lynden, Washington, U.S. and Canadian investigators said.

"It was well built, probably one of the most sophisticated tunnels we've ever seen," said Rod Benson, an agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. "There was a significant drug trafficking organization that was responsible for the construction."

Video supplied by investigators showed that the inside of the tunnel was lined with wood supports and concrete reinforced with steel. The builders had installed a small cart to allow them to move freight or people from one end to the other.

Investigators said it was the first time a drug smuggling tunnel had been found on the U.S.-Canada border, although more than 30 such tunnels have been uncovered on the border between Mexico and the United States.

Large quantities of potent "B.C. Bud" are smuggled to the United States each year from British Columbia, where illegal marijuana growing has been estimated to be a more than C$2 billion-a-year industry ($1.7 billion).

This is the quonset hut.

Little Hanky,

It really is OK to like your teachers. Why, I do my very best to give each student what they need, no matter what it is, and I'm sure your teachers did the same for you. I know you are trying to be "hip", but be yourself. We know you are nice underneath it all, and we like you.

Damn predatory Canadian hydroponic doobie cartels. They cause terrorism, third world earthquakes and the oppression of puppies, you know. I saw it on TV.

I like the idea of paying all public sector employees in pot, however. It certainly couldn't decrease performance, and might significantly improve surliness.

Over 1 year, it doesn't seem like it would be such a huge amount of debris.

Sounds like this could have been pulled off if they had a better cover story for the neighbors - like you're building a barn or something, and then complaining in town about how the concrete foundations are all fucked up and you and your buddies are fixing it.

Clearly they hired the wrong PR people.
