I haven't seen …
anyone comment on the best sight gag of the night — Jesse's head emerging from the pulsing vagina of Vocal Adrenaline hands as Quinn's baby is crowning.

As Fletch is perhaps my all-time favorite movie, I loved that line.

If anything …
… Catch-22 and The Fountainhead.

Don't forget about Pole Position … God I loved that show

And Michael's response … "We can work with that"

Haley Joel Osment
The first time I heard him say "I see dead people" in the Sixth Sense trailer, he was dead to me forever.

Or Ayn Rand … or Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever

If you're talking about Bio of a Space Tyrant, yeah its pretty messed up, and a not so great commentary on Cold War politics. Which others have rape scenes?

Piers Anthony
Like Tasha I was a huge Piers Anthony fan in my youth - and still love the Apprentice Adept and Incarnations of Immortality series - and it took quite awhile for me to let go of the Xanth series, despite its descent into pun-obsessed incoherence. I finally stopped after purchasing and reading THE COLOR

Two favorite sketches
The teenagers on a date with the boy and girl hormones in the background, and everybody drowning in the pool because they didn't wait 30 minutes after eating.

Fish Story
It wasn't a fish, it was you flopping around in the boat. And it was my wife who was in the Mossad.

Lost in Space
I liked Matt LeBlanc on Friends, because he works there, but he's pointless in anything else.

Pharcyde is coming and I hope we're not wack
I've always interpreted the lyrics (sounds, what have you) "Eee ah ooo ah ah" in the chorus of the Pharcyde's "Soul Flower" to be a derivation of Judy's Martian.

I have never
… been so disappointed in a group of people I have never met nor likely ever meet than I am right now. Seriously nobodies going to take the bait of this quote?

It wasn't a ref outfit (even though they said it was) I'm pretty sure it was a Juventus jersey (the stars on the left breast give it away)

Expectations
Two interesting moments in terms of costuming, in particular in a show like this one. Seeing Quinn out of her cheerleader garb and hair out a ponytail was jarring. I don't believe I've seen the actress before and in the new look was almost a different person (which I'm thinking was the point). Sue's zoot

As a high school teacher … a million times yes. That said, love the show.

I kept expecting one of the girls to collapse during their performance, and was glad the show didn't go to that extreme heavy handedness.

Southeast Idaho Pseudo-Ex Pat
I spent three years at the turn of the century (kind of fun to say that) working for a newspaper in Pocatello, Idaho — about 45 minutes northwest of Preston. Preston was part of our coverage area and a locale I visted often. I also dated a girl from near there for a time.

Roger in blackface
My reaction was (with no one else in my home), to shout "Oh Fuck" … I really was not expecting that.
