Maybe an adjunct. But probably not at Columbia.

She does look a lot like a narrow-faced Alyson Hannigan. At least in that scene.

Totally caught the Stern reference, I and i, and it cemented my love for this player.

He cleans up well. Liked the outfit.

I was really surprised Dawn did it.  I would have told Brenda to F off. That was clearly a vote she'd lost, and groveling at that stage just looked pathetic, especially against Cochran's poise.

I can't say that's a movie I've loved longest, because I first saw it in my teens, but my husband and I both love it and it's one of the handful of movies/TV shows whose quotes make up about 85% of conversations in our house. Since we've had kids, "you're a stinker and you stink!" is now the most common line we use.

"…bacon pancAAAAAAKES!"

Jeez, they're like twins. They have the exact same speech patterns.

That was hilarious.

Also: his mom called him Cochran. Now, I know that was for show purposes, but it made me laugh nevertheless.

He was hilarious then too. I remember that after that disgusting challenge in which they had to tear meat off a whole pick, or something, then got to eat the meat back at camp, he made some crack about how it was an excellent way for everyone to get herpes. His tribe treated him like he'd taken a dump in the well.

Having the reward party happen in sight of the losers was especially cruel. What else could they have done to make Brenda and Dawn feel shitty? I imagine the producers rigging giant fans to make sure the smell of the BBQ wafted over the camp.

That was so cheeseball, I had to look away in discomfort.

The scene where her attic is transformed — awesome.

GWTW is a good, soapy novel, with great characters. The chapter describing Scarlett's parents and their marriage is amazing.

There's a biography of her — well, really, a critical analysis of the series — called "Constructing the Little House". Can't remember the author; I came across it years ago in my college library. Fascinating.

The humor in those books didn't really get me until I revisited them later. The ways that the characters get suddenly enraged — the mom yelling, "That TERRIBLE maid!", for example, cracks me up now (I re-read a select handful of my favorite kids' books every couple years or so, just waiting for my kids to get old…

I'm reading "Little House in the Big Woods" to my 5-year-old son now. I have no daughters and DAMN IT, one of my children WILL love the Little House books. It must be.

I read the series so many times as a kid that I can't read it now. It's so familiar that the words don't register any more. Which sucks because I loved that series so much.

Agree 1000x. So many actors on this show can turn tiny amounts of screen time into gold. He can't. He doesn't fit, somehow.
