A theory I read somewhere a while back… god, it might even have been Freud's… was that we develop fetishes for body parts based on their proximity to the sexy bits and the way they hint that the sexy bits are near by. So, as a little kid, when your curiosity about sex was a nameless, non-specific impulse, the fact…

Okay. I like several episodes of BS, disagree with others, but have rarely thought that their views were immediately dangerous in the same way that anti-vaccination nuts' views are. I'll track that one down a little later when I get the chance.

I just started the Pyramid Schemes episode and paused it during the title sequence while I read through some comments. I just happened to pause it while it said "VACCINATIONS" on the screen— are they anti-vaccination idiots?

Except when it's between clowns.

Is a "microphone solution" anything like "blinker fluid"?

You were going to try these?

I'm puking already.

It's been down?

But really— Kate is enhanced in that photo.

I just watched it for the first time and thought that it would turn out that Toby was covering for someone else. I love the first few seasons so much that I just randomly started one from season one. By the time we get to season seven, it's hard to remember the angry season one toby who condescends to CJ and has to be…

Cancelled? It was a tent-pole! A TENT-POLE!!!!

Yeah, I liked everything surrounding the sealed hatch and was kind of disappointed about it once they opened that son of a bitch. Of course, what could have been in there that could have possibly been an appropriate payoff?

I just finished (well, mostly) West Wing this week. It's been a while since I've watched a show so dense that I couldn't just binge watch it for days at a time. The early seasons had a knack for understated dramatic moments and fairly quiet key lines of dialog with little or no swelling music or other signposts (I…

@avclub-7445cdf838e562501729c6e31b06aa7b:disqus , I am a big fan of Michael Moriarty on the show. His soft-spoken intensity is a great fit. It was very jarring to read about his off-camera craziness. But I think pre- and post-Noth is a good dividing line.

So far, I'm liking what I'm reading about this book. Though YA books have tried to address suicide, it's very difficult to understand the mindset of a suicidal person and it's difficult to grasp the enormity of a suicide. I like the idea of leaving the suicidal person around to deal with the repercussions of his acts,…

All the kids down on the bay
Gotta try to find a way
To stop this pandemonium 
Gonna blow 'em up with sodium!

Ah, I hadn't considered Tilda-as-Bowie (I'll also admit that I watched the first minute or so, then left the window, and came back for the last bit where they're chasing Bowie).

It's more like A is not significantly different from B, and B is not significantly different from C, but there is a significant different between A and C.

I was looking at adopting a greyhound but my apartment has an official (though never-enforced) no-pets policy. I got a cat because they're quiet (even though greyhounds are also supposed to be very quiet, too). Anyway. I hate my cat. She's mean and skittish, I have scars, and people have moved in here with big loud…

2 Die 2 Hard could actually be a coherent phrase.
