"I.Q. of 214. Suuuuper Geeenius."

Apparently that was Myers actually losing his shit when he heard the delivery.  They did other takes, but nothing topped his genuine laughter.

"One Froggy Evening" was much, much funnier than I remembered, and I remembered it as being quite funny.

I thought the Looney Tunes were always being broadcast on some network or other, if only when no one was looking.

They were also good at saving taxpayers the trouble and expense of trials, since they had no problem with goading a murderer into committing suicide.  Poison, handgun, dynamite, grenade, hanging; they made it happen.

I thought Sherlock was saying that London is a "beacon of freedom" like New York City and, like New York City, is therefore a tempting terrorist target.  He's either being sarcastic when he then transitions to the subject of surveillance cameras or just pointing them out as a consequence of these facts. I never got…

Also, why is Mycroft not allowed to be fat anymore?

Yeah, my ex-brother-in-law was captain of the football team and president of the math club.  I still regard this as either a) something that only happens in Canada, or b) profoundly unfair to the rest of the population.

Surely the proper way to film a nerd/geek/dork wish-fulfillment fantasy movie is to have the beautiful, popular girl fall in love with the outcast, get rebuffed, have her nerdier friends make her over, get the nerd's attention, then realize she really wants to be with her nice, handsome, popular, football-playing best…

After enough near-misses, I go only when I'm sure the other person will be stopping at the sign.  Sometimes that means watching until their front end dips from deceleration.

I applied for the position in July, but apparently…

The Tampa Bay Rays broke Baltimore's spirit before this series began.  How the hell does a professional baseball game last 18 innings?

@avclub-d1348cfe54a94fe6f986775cedd75fdd:disqus : Not even The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám?

Are you employed, sir?

I want Blades to be real, and to be extended an invitation to join.

Cigarette?

I've got an interview next week for a job I'm quite qualified to do, in the city I'll be moving to with or without employment this winter.  Things will be a lot less stressful if I'm gainfully employed when I pack up the cat, the books, and the DVDs and bail out of this 'burg.

I love that segment so much.  It's one of those obviously ridiculous things, but the lie is just the right "shape" to give someone a moment's pause.

Exactly.  Superman is a paragon, someone people can aspire to be.  If he were just a dude who could punch people into the sun he wouldn't be Superman.

Red Son!
