I once lived in a house with a grow op, and it got raided by the New Jersey state police. By a stroke of good fortune, my girlfriend and I had decided to head to the Shore very early that morning, and thus were not present, but three of my housemates were arrested and charged.

Vandalism was the one aspect of being a bad girl that I never embraced. Even something as innocent as TPing. It just held no appeal for me.

FWIW, there's nothing wrong with mixing pot and booze. In fact, if you're prone to panic attacks while stoned, as I am, alcohol can mitigate that somewhat.

My favorite little detail about this episode: Lindsay keeps the money she gets inside the card inside the envelope, and every time she goes to get money she has to extract the entire apparatus. Every time I watch it I'm cringing and waiting for the freaks to give her shit about it, even though I know they don't. But

I love that about Nick. It's such a perfect distillation of his essence.

Prediction: the attempt to cover up the fact that Bugs Meany is the villain will be less successful than the attempt to cover up the fact that Khan is the villain in Star Trek Into Doucheness.

Don't forget Night Court, the red-headed stepchild of Must-See TV.

Liked for mentioning Doug Sheehan and reminding me of the '80s heyday of GH.

There ain't no nothin' we can't love each other through.

I do get what you're saying. Lindsay's socioeconomic status and intelligence mean that she will always have more choices in life than most of her fellow freaks, and that she's unlikely to become trapped in the vicious circle of small-town life, as someone like Daniel might.

Really, @Scrawler2:disqus? Well whaddya know. At my school we got a new locker every year, grouped by homeroom. 

"Hey, so uh…listen…do you mind if I have this fruit roll-up?"

My mom was a musical theater geek. I mean, I love her dearly, but imagine if one of the Glee kids was your mom.

I strongly disagree with Todd's assertion that Lindsay's freakiness is merely a persona that she's trying on and will soon shrug off. I mean yes, it is a persona in the psychological sense, but her trip to the freaky side was born of a genuine existential crisis precipitated by the death of her grandmother, and is

One thing that's always bugged me about this episode: what kind of weird locker-assignment protocol gives a freshman with the last name Weir a locker next to a junior (presumably) with the last name Scarfoli?

Ha…I was thinking specifically of girls named Stacy, Colleen, and Gina. Append your favorite Irish or Italian surname and generously apply black eyeliner.

K is more working-class; C is more hoity-toity. It's why the British royals keep trying to style the Duchess of Cambridge as Catherine rather than Kate.

I take issue with the notion that Karen's Journey shirt marks her (and somehow by extension the rest of the freaks) as "uncool", though. Maybe by today's standards. But I was actually in high school in 1980 (as a freshman, OK?), and I assure you that that shirt would have been considered pretty damn cool. Not as cool

I love that exchange. But I feel like Kim's aunt would have been Kathy with a K.

"How many times have you seen someone like Kim Kelly on TV?"
