So USA’s offerings for Tuesday night TV-viewing are: rape, rape, rape, murder, spies ‘n’ fighting, rape, and murder.

I find I’d rather read the book after each season, so the show can surprise me.

Are there DVDs? Send ‘em my way. I’ll be 69 shortly and do NOT feel maternal towards our heroes.

I am very, very happy that it’s returning, but I really wish I could just turn on the television to watch it, instead of having to acquire 2 or 3 additional devices.

I don’t remember if the group had been mentioned by name before this season, so I kept hearing “Dayus Group”, and then when I saw the name on the post-it on Philip’s wall I thought “Ohhh...”

Okay, librarian here: What twit underlined those passages in ink? I don’t care if it’s their personal copy.

To paraphrase the British writer E. Nesbit, “It is not stealing if you take a packet of ketchup from the restaurant/block of Post-its from work/piece of chalk from the schoolroom, but it is if you take the whole box.” This has remained my yardstick.

Having been through my share of life-traumas, I find that not watching the show at all is a very good strategy, as is turning it off when it gets unnecessarily unpleasant. Descriptions such as “graphic violence”, “disturbing”, “brutal”, mean “Nope, nope, and nope.”

Whenever my cat had a litter of kittens, back in the early Sixties when nobody thought about spaying, I used to sell them for a dollar each. I’d never heard of free kittens. Never had to send any to the pound. I mean, I ask you: a kitten, or a dollar. Which would you rather have?

My understanding is that he may take George as his regnal name, making him King George VII. I’m opposed to the idea, but no-one’s asked me.

Put on the late Captain Beefheart’s “Candy Corn”, nod your head to the rhythm, and enjoy.

In my Greek book there was a great set of illustrations showing the use of prepositions, featuring a lion and a guy in a safari hat: “on the lion”, “in front of the lion”, “under the lion”, “in the lion”, “out of the lion”...

I started reading Nancy Drew when (ahem) Kennedy was president. Nancy isn’t a redhead but a blonde - an annoyingly perfect girl - and if her friend George isn’t a lesbian she sure ought to be. Still, I’m going to give this one a try.

It’s like the Harry Potter movies - once you’ve started you’re obligated to finish the story.

I do not have any fond memory of this movie, though I don’t dispute any of the afore-mentioned praise for its story and execution. Back in 1972, shortly before going to see the just-released film, I read the first half of the book (up to Michael fleeing to Italy—missed the vagina drama), so I knew the horse scene was…

Third grade, oh god.

Someone out there will know. I was thinking Central Asia, but he could be from southern Africa.

I despise Whiterose, but I sure hope her/his project is a time machine that will restore our friends to some semblance of health.

That’s why ladies changed their clothes 3 times a day.

Oooh, and I happen to have all the ingredients! Maybe a little gin too?
