Especially since you're encouraged to poke your fingers in its eyes.

I grew up across the street from my elementary school (which meant I always walked unsupervised, of course). Over the years, the car traffic has gotten worse, to the point where the street is now one-way at certain hours to help with the flow (a change which happened after I moved out, and I constantly have to remind…

I appreciate that Mark Cuban is completely unwilling to invest in medical quackery and is very vocal about it. They've had a few pitches from people selling healing stones and magnets, and he calls them out for it. Lori tends to back out of those as well, not so much on principle but because she can't sell a product…

We ordered some online after its episode aired. It's okay—it does stiffen in cold water as promised, which is cool, but it wears out fairly quickly (becoming slack-jawed, among other things). I don't think I'd buy it again.

Slattery: "Bye bye, God."

Exactly. In short: Michael claimed he had friends but had subordinates. Dwight claims he has subordinates but has friends. (Okay, so they're also his subordinates.)

As much as I liked seeing the auditions of the cast that made it (and yes, they really did have immediate chemistry), I would have loved to have seen the could-have-beens. What does an almost-Jim look and sound like? What is it like when a Pam is off?

I like that they showed Dwight to be just the proper combination of competent and terrible to be a Dunder-Mifflin boss. For all those reasons and more, Kevin absolutely should have been fired. The way he fired him, though, was appropriately inappropriate.

I thought, "Hey, is that Carol? Well, they didn't say her name, and they're not making a point of it, so it must not be." Oops.

I know the trip from Chicago to southwest Michigan well—my parents are both Michiganders who (fortunately) got out and settled in the western suburbs of Chicago. Most of my extended family is still on the left side of the mitten, though, so we'd make that trips five or six times a year.  My parents are actually in…

Right. You can't set that up and not pay off on it.

"I already told you, I'm not Howard Hughes!"

Ted's marriage is on shaky ground. That retreat was couples counseling.

The whole reason for that "retreat" with the pastor was couples counseling. Ted's marriage was already falling apart: "Apparently I work too much!"

But isn't that exactly the point? That's how Lisa was feeling about the holograms.

I didn't know for sure whether they'd bring it back. When he announced Jon Hamm as the guest the first time, I got my hopes up briefly (since it was plausible!) only to have them dashed when Keenan Thompson was revealed, so I was delighted when Jon Hamm really was in the final version.

Thank you! At first I was excited for the little snippet they sang (I'm doing a lot of Parry research right now, more about him as a historian than as a composer, though)…and then I realized that it was wrong for the period. Oh, well. It still fit the episode thematically, as Ada started calling Sweetville "New…

There was an episode of Voyager in which Neelix tried to be an investigative reporter/morning show host. As with all things involving Neelix, it was utter crap.

So much has happened that you'll likely be confused, but it all comes down to this:
Martha still hasn't figured out that "Clark" is wearing a wig.

Betty would be horrified, but it'd also hit close to home for her. She knows she doesn't love them either, with the possible exception of Sally. Remember her, "I have a little girl!…and a boy," in one of the early seasons?
