Heh. I've never really stopped to think about it, but that first line is indeed incredibly memorable. I haven't read or watched the Outsiders in probably 30 years, but when Susie mentioned it, I was instantly able to get the gist of it from memory. I most definitely "hear" it in C. Thomas Howell's voice too.

She used to take aerobics from my mom. My mom described her as a nice enough dingbat. My mom was also horrified anyone would consider giving this woman any semblance of power.

His interactions with Laura are the best.

I think there is almost zero chance we ever see a confirmed "new dimension." That would essentially be answering the question the writers promised not to answer.

Does anyone else get a slight case of vertigo trying to get on or off an escalator which has stopped? I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me that I do. After all, a non-moving escalator is otherwise known as "stairs," which don't typically give me any problems. But my office shuts our escalators down on the…

any irony in that last statement given that the couch gag behind this article is apparently a riff on Big Bang Theory?

e. cell phones taking over the world
f. gay marriage legalized
e. racism once again becoming so acceptable a President could win on that platform

That's ridiculous. Get those kids some god damned culture, stat.

Hell, if I had the physique, I'd wear a vest with *NO* t-shirt, bad-ass style!

Watching the rest of the cast get it one-by-one (props to Aubrey for smacking him almost instantaneously) was almost as funny as the joke itself. Offerman and O'Heir completely fucking losing it was pretty great too.

I gotcha . . .

I presume you saw her Spike Jonze video. I think it could probably be dropped into this show, unedited.

The fact that this little throwaway joke from Season 1 rationally escalated to a serious-as-shit payoff this episode is but one of many examples of the great writing involved. This show is definitely *not* for everyone. But if it's your type of thing, it's extremely well done.

Or to put it in easier to understand numbers, 1 out of every 50 persons disappeared. Meaning most everyone on Earth lost at least several people they knew.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't suggest it's nearly as deep as poker or chess. But they're kind of like distant cousins in the world of entertainment.

If you're a casual fan, I would recommend checking out eLeague tonight on TBS (the matches themselves are simulcast on Twitch, but you don't get any of the commentary there). It's the semifinals of one of the groups, and does include some names you'd recognize (Justin Wong and Daigo being the two most famous).

I don't think it's any coincidence that I also enjoy watching chess and poker in addition to Street Fighter. I've always liked watching games which rely heavily on mental skill.

Infiltration's already out of the tournament, yo! Season 2 has not been kind to him.

eLeague (TBS) is eating that up about Street Fighter. There are a couple of competitors who like ham things up (KBrad is essentially a WWE character on the mic), and eLeague is clearly pushing them to keep it up.

Does he watch Street Fighter? Because they actually have a lot of really great announcers, some of whom could fit right in on any normal sports broadcast. Others are more of an "acquired" taste who have a lot more casual way they go about things, but most of them are pretty fun once you understand what the hell…
