I thought he was way off base with the whole fast food part, and it came from not doing research. His "milkshake" was a smoothie, as Dino tried to tell him. Smoothies are very popular and all over the place in LA, but they're not milkshakes. The kind of burger he wanted to sell is a gourmet burger, also all over…

Apparently it's individual schools, not districts, and only one identified in the article I read. This is an issue that could draw a lot of interest from both "my kids eat only organic vegan" and teaparty "I'll send my kids to school with twinkies and coke if I damn well please" sides, though mostly the latter seems…

Drunk on Mystery, weren't you listening to the former governor's heartfelt apology? I was especially moved by the way he kept casting his eyes down in shame. But anyway, he was running for U.S. Senate and lost. Your shitty governor beat someone else.

Oh, I meant to also answer the question about the museum guard who got freeze-rayed. He thawed out alive.

I like Radaar's point about the difference between Warren and Faith. Faith isn't entirely human, and has superpowers that aren't equivalent to the tools that make Warren a greater than human threat, and which he could be deprived of in prison, rendering him just another incarcerated criminal. By the same logic,…

Ibogaine
I don't think it's so obscure that the show's writers can only have been alluding to a 40-year-old joke. I've seen a lot of articles about it in recent years, and Law & Order: SVU did a storyline where ibogaine was used, as it really is, to treat drug addiction. Do you think the SVU writers were…

Before the big expensive gesture, Crosby should have tried losing the silly cap and getting a haircut. One of his sisters should have told him that.

Won't anyone think of the ancestors?
I mean before they extrude their bony arms from the ground, grab us by the ankles, and drag us down for just but very painful deaths by crushing and dirt suffocation.

Myanmar is the junta's choice of a name for the country. The opposition objects.

Yeah. After The Hobbit comes out it will probably be question time again for the Tolkien nerds. Wanting to know all kinds of information that comes from the appendices and the Silmarillian. But I won't tell you.

I don't really want to talk about Supernatural.

No repercussions? Anders and Starbuck break up, mostly, until the end over the Star Chamber. Tyrol saves Geata from execution at the last minute. But Geata remains so bitter he never reintegrates and eventually becomes a mutineer and is executed. That's off the top of my head a few years after seeing those…

Law offices certainly still use faxes. The teenager is snarky while wrong. No wonder her safety school rejected her.

That's your political subtext. I thought about President Reagan, and his love of jelly beans - surely the most revolting of candies. After the bunny shit the jelly beans on the hood of the car - I must admit that I don't remember much after that. Maybe the clues about German reunification were lost in my fugue…

Yes, they're going to be jelly beans instead, since their bunny poops jelly beans. From the commercial, eggs are out entirely. Maybe they were too religious, though I think they were actually pagan religious. It doesn't bear much thinking about, probably.

Have you heard his bell and xylophone replacements, on the samples available from his website? I've had fits of pique over what I considered over-processed guitar over the decades, but I got over it and learned to accept the technology to accept the songs. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that for Mr.…

I never knew that the chicken and waffles concept wasn't original with Roscoe's, either, but apparently it's older.

To demonstrate that he understands the law, feels remorse for breaking it, and has changed his ways, he should sing "Whiskey River."

Safe sucked. I really wanted to like it because of how likable I found Haynes in his interviews.

I know I'm very late, but I just started wondering about this enough to look in to it after watching the rerun. Does anybody have any theories about the significance of the blood test itself? The wikipedia on newborn screening shows the card. It's supposed to test for diseases, almost all genetic disorders, but all…
