Thirteen

In Richard Lobinske's Falling into College series, Daria Morgendorffer met Jane Lane on October 14th, 1996. Happy 13th anniversary!

This is World Standards Day, whose website is not up to standard, at least using Firefox. (Can you spot the errors in the heading?)

And one of the actors who played James Bond turns 82 today. You go, dude.

Haven't figured out what else to add. Got any ideas? Put them in Comments. thx

• Anti-Trope, by Pinkminx (Part 2): “I’m here to see the principal,” he said. The woman raised a questioning eyebrow and waited for him to continue. “I’m a new student.” He added, having a feeling he’d be using this line more than once during the course of the day.
• Fat Man's Grave, by TAG and Brother Grimace (Part 3): To stand in the entrance to Daria’s Inner Sanctum and gaze upon its eccentric splendor took my breath away. It was a teenage girl’s bedroom, but you wouldn’t have known it. It was a place where the color pink shriveled up and died.
  
• Our Time Now, by Charliefox2012 (Part 3): “Just trying to bring you out of your mood. You’re no fun once you’ve gotten irritated,” Jane said. “I’m fun?” Daria asked feigning surprise. “You know what I mean,” Jane deadpanned. “Meaning you won’t get any,” Daria said, raising an eyebrow.
• Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Stacy's Mom, Where Are You?), by Roentgen (COMPLETE!): Quinn showed up at Stacy's door and tapped her fashionable tennis shoes impatiently. C'mon, Stacy, if I miss a second of Boys 'r' Guys, I'm going to yank out your pigtails. [You are not going to believe this crossover. TAG]
  

Time Flies When You Don't Have A Clue

It's Saturday morning and I realized that it's been five years since I started "The Last Summer", setting Daria on a new path after "Is It College Yet?" that's grown far beyond what I had anticipated.



She's probably grumbling, "Okay, if it's been five years, why am I still in college?"

"The name's Bond. Mack Bond."

Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, 007, was born this day 100 years ago. Mack leads the celebration with a drink (shaken, not stirred) and a jet pack rather unlike the one Bond used in From Russia with Love. Mr. Fleming also created Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which no one cares about.

Ranger Thorne offers three different outfits for a superhero Quinn. See which one you prefer.

Brother Grimace wants to know: Is Jake Morgendorffer really that bad? Post your opinion ASAP.

Szcz put forth some possibilities about the enigma wrapped in a mystery that is Grandma Barksdale. Were the Barksdale girls adopted? See what you think.

More later. Will try to write more on that Doc Holliday story.
