yes, except in Oklahoma or Texas, where they dress like either out of an old Western or as a contestant in a Toby Keith lookalike contest

I am really a crazy cat lady with two advanced degrees. But I don't throw them

the rubber pants one is mine too!

yup

Number one for me would be the first time I heard "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" by Wilco. I was browsing music at Barnes and Noble, and the album was one of the ones you could listen to and sample in store. I started listening to it on a whim, and was blown away. I immediately bought the album, and have been a huge fan

yeah, i have enough trust in the people making this show after this phenomenal season that a scene like that is definitely a pointed reference and not plagiarism or an accident

yeah, I was reading the review trying to reconcile my memory of the book, which I read probably a decade ago and really loved, and thinking I wasn't remembering the book correctly at all. Just turns out to be a terrible adaptation

I laugh out loud at TV shows/movies and while reading books. I talk to the characters on the TV like you do too. And I cannot watch Jeopardy without shouting out the answers, even though I'm by myself.

this is actually a very real problem at universities now. these kids don't want to be challenged, or exposed to different view points, or have to think from the POV of someone different. They are coddled and want to remain that way, and threaten professors for "triggering" them by suggesting different ideas or

not gonna lie, I kind of want to read that now

I think you are 100% correct in this assessment

yeah, I was wondering about that one, because the series ended on just a normal episode. But wasn't sure if that rating was for that one-off that came a few years later
