Every kid since No Child Left Behind & Race to the Top: "What's a Gifted & Talented Program?"  [Goes back to filling in circles with a No.2 pencil]

…changed.  Obviously I have to updated my PC…

Dany believed in helping a captive from further rape and torment, and she lost her unborn child & husband.  Jon Snow was sold a pretty fucking awful lemon on the myth of honor regarding the Night's Watch.

Admitting you wronged someone and publicly apologizing = honor.  Unless you are feudalistic Japan or some such shit.  And if you are, fucking cut your guts out already.

Yeah, not a fan of the nihilistic edge this show keeps slashing it's viewers/readers with.  Anyone who doesn't believe in nothing, IE any character that believes in anything, especially truth, honor, or love get royally fucked over and or killed.  Fuck that.

Yeah, fuck nihilistic "smart".  Fuck this shoooooooooow.  Anyone who displays trust, honor, or love die.

Well, at least we were spared the usual weekly interlude:

[mouth full of marbles] Well that depends on what you mean by "brother".

I always liked how 90+ minutes of being Superman, John McClane gets his ass severely and thoroughly kicked by Col. Stuart on the wing of the jet.

Fuck if I'm going to an infomercial for indentured servitude pretending to be "comedy hijinks"

I was in New Zealand; their version of recruiting for the Navy in a pre-movie trailer ad was quite hilarious/awful.  Made it seem like your three year hitch was going to be exclusively in Thai nightclubs, living it up.  Like they knew that Kiwis weren't falling for the video-game, army of one bullshit, had to pretend…

And I could bear 20 two-minute trailers a little better, if I didn't have to put up with 20 two-minute commercials first.  And fuck me, the ads pretending to be movie trailers are the worst.

I think it was the opening ceremonies for either the 1996, but I think 2000 Olympics where he (shirtless sax player) had a musical segment as Uzbekistan athletes (or whoever) were marching in.  I mean, a little bit of Opening Ceremonies goes a long way, and even the announcer, Bob Costas was getting bored.  So when…

Fuck off the lot of ya.  I didn't flag, I made a South Park joke.  And, guess what, there is a whole other forum for you learned book readers out there.

Turns out when you point out to strangers who are observing a large group of crows squawking loudly that the correct term is "Murder" and they didn't hear you over the din, so you have to yell "Murder!", they quickly go inside and lock the door.

Ha, yet better than permanent state of consternation that looks more like constipation-face-girl Cersei.  That was a killer in our Game of Thrones Season 2 drinking game…

PS: semi-sorry for dickish snark, but, you know…

Hey, non-newbie: We don't take kindly to your type around here.

Welcome to Game of Thrones!  Did you know Ned Stark was Boromir?

Also, Tyrion's mistress/Sansa's handmaiden (I forget her name) checking the sheets of the marital bed for hymen blood was a nice touch/detail of an fucking awful era that I'm rather glad most of the civilized world is moving past.
