@avclub-6956968b560a7eb499ca03a8b3b43189:disqus that Twilight Zone scared the shit out of me too. My sister and I used to terrorize each other by shrieking "Bring me my tea, Georgie!" when no one else was home at night.

I know. Can you believe he wouldn't change his screenplay?

That's my favourite part of the whole book – just a whole series of sentence-long short stories.

Never seen that episode, but I gotta give a like for any Beachcombers mention.

"In the Fade" (but I'm a Mark Lanegan obsessive).

I have a Filipino friend who's obsessed with Weng Weng so I've actually seen several of his movies. They're certainly… different?

I don't know the scientific explanation, but FIRE MADE IT GOOD.

I don't know what "twerking" means and I think I'm OK with that.

She's off her nut!

Only thing I remember about Finding Forrester was that Sean Connery gives a speech about wearing socks inside out so the seams are on the outside (away from your feet) and I thought "Hey, this guy's got the right idea!".

I call them moving picture shows because "movie" is a nickname and nicknames are for friends and movies are no friends of mine.

Nah, the time-specific ones around here have flashing lights to announce when the reduced speed limit is in effect – this one's just a straight 40 zone.

I'll admit I'm prejudiced against anyone who "exclusively" drinks one brand of beer (or wine, or pop, or coffee or whatever). To me that's just a red flag that this person is not going to be any fun to be around.

I'm one of the cilantro lovers. I grow it in my garden too and I'll often follow up a backyard meal with a fresh sprig as a palate cleanser.

I once got pulled over for obeying the speed limit.
I was driving home from work late at night through a known speed trap (it was an elementary school zone. Cops were just making sure no kids got run over on their way to school at 3 am) so I kept it at exactly 40km/hr and this cop pulls me over on suspicion of being…

"You fellas have a lot of growing up to do. Ridiculous!"

I was just in the can here and heard a dude grunting in the stall while talking on his phone. Then, this guy (who's in a senior management position here) left the stall and blew his nose in the sink (in his defense, he at least washed his hands).

My sister's old roommate once put her Chuck Taylors in the microwave to dry them (not realizing that the eyelets were, y'know, metal) and it blew the door right off the microwave.

Nah, that happened with me too (and I'm all man, with the beard and the testicles and everything). I had a thing for this super-cool, bad-ass chick in college and let her know my feelings (which was a huge step for me) and she said she didn't think of me that way and wanted to remain friends.

I'm just glad I deliberately held off on reading this until I was finished with my lunch.
