ROTFLMFAO!

Human trafficking!


Thats exactly what I wouldve thought myself if I hadnt recently encountered someone else on this site 'shipping' fictional characters on a thread.

A young lady asked "who are your favorite ships?".

I replied "WTF?" - Well...there is the HMS Cutty Sark, and maybe the Starship Enterprise."

She didnt appear to be amused.

Me too. Never heard the term previously.

Personally I don't care at all which "celebrity" is dating whoever. As for making up fictional romances, I would only do that for amusement, such as Captain Ahab meeting a lusty lass and chasing after her instead of Moby Dick.

This made me laugh, thank you. I was interested in Tumblr for a little bit but I did not understand the shipping aspect.
It bored me. I would rather think about the story than the impossible concept of two characters getting together that doesn't make much sense.

I was disappointed, and annoyed, when Ripley's surrogate family were killed off before the credits in Alien 3, if that counts.

Relax, no. Or I would have posted this in one of the non Aspie boards and titled it "Outraged about human trafficking".
