Thanks for making me feel less foolish for posting that diatribe in the first place!

That.  Is.  Great.

Hell, whoever was technically first, it was a good catch by both of you.  I completely missed that detail.

Yeah, I tend to go with the explanation that he under-reported income to save taxes, and thereby was better able to meet company obligations such as payroll. What confuses me most is that there have been clear references to faked invoices more than once, which wouldn't fit in at all with under-reported income (you're…

Watched "Lost" yet???  :)

Oh, just to be clear, i couldn't agree more.  I am not at all against the use of these devices, I just felt in these last two eps they didn't add much, and did telegraph events that would have been more effective as a complete surprise.  The opening to "Grilled" was so WTF out-of-nowhere that I had no idea how or when…

I also took the dialogue with fake customers as her method of pacing out the number of orders so that, if scrutinized, the receipts could be reasonably justified as representing work actually done, mainly because the cash register receipts have time stamps on them.

I saw it, too, very clearly, in one of those infuriating plastic blister packs.  I was Flashing back to CYE's "Vehicular Fellatio" last season.

And really, just who the fuck under the age of 65 is actually, in this day and age, upset by hearing the word "fuck"? And would be watching Breaking Bad no less???

You don't even need the college degree to call yourself an accountant.  Hell, you don't need a *high school* degree for that matter.  All you really need is someone willing to hire you as an accountant. 

On the incredibly rare occasions that I have a piano gig in a restaurant, I'm much happier to remain firmly in the background.  On the even more incredibly rare occasions that anemic audience applause trickled out at a random moment, it was *profoundly* unnerving and uncomfortable.  Your job is supposed to be to…

This really depends on the person, but the "you're born that way" argument was an expedient political tool to get fence sitting straight people to be more accepting.   I assisted with some research as an undergrad that examined highly detailed interviews of college-aged gay men on their sexual history, coming out…

I don't agree at all that he suspected it would get under anyone's skin— he seemed genuinely stunned at the reaction he got.

I hadn't thought about this at all, but I think you have a great point here.  Looking back on "The Terrorist Attack" and "The Survivor" episodes, Larry David has already proven he's one of the only writers who can touch these topics and make them *really* funny without automatically offending the entire nation.

I really thought— and hoped— that this was building to Jeff finally leaving Susie.  He's been kicked out before (season 2, I think?), but he's never had the chutzpah to leave on his own, and it would have built nicely on the scene early on this year where Susie tells Jeff he can forget about anything resembling an…

The season 4 "Producers" finale justified the entire season for me, which was by far my least favorite season overall until this year.   This year, I think my disappointment with the current season actually hampered my appreciation of the finale, which time and re-viewing will hopefully cure.

In fact, I was once one of these non-CPA accountants myself. . . which must be why I found the Quicken bit so damned funny.  I mean, seriously, not even QuickBooks Pro?

Totally agree.

I think it's pacing more than logic that makes Ted's return feel artificial.

Ralph and Tony, anyone?  Except here it wasn't about a horse, it was about a bug.
