I LOVED Accepted!

I don't watch the show so I have no prior opinion of him to compare this too, but these quotes made me dislike this guy.

Not until I read the bit about stealing sugar cubes.

Holy ever loving Victor Ross.

Shut up. Shut. Up.

FASCINATING!

Thank you. I would've liked some clarification as to why I would want better mitochondrial DNA (I wasn't aware that it really did anything), but instead I got a cute picture of babies. (Which I definitely did click on an stare at for longer than I'm comfortable admitting :))

I looked forward to having one of these for dinner tonight, but the CVS near my house isn't carrying them yet. I have never been more disappointed in my life.
