That definitely played its part, yeah. It kind of sucks how high-stress holidays get clustered towards the new year. If Valentine's were a little further from all that, maybe it wouldn't be such a heavy day.

The one that's really stuck with me over the years was how I ended my first relationship. We dated for about six months, and after four, I knew that my feelings for her were strictly platonic, but I wasn't able to just finish things off myself. To shorten the story, I blew her off (not in the fun way) on Valentine's…

One of my best friends from young times, who got me the frankly great job I have now, is a really weird guy. Fun to talk to, but with caveats to people just meeting him.

The scene where he crawls naked out of the couch is maybe the hardest I've laughed in the last ten years.

Once you go white, it's just all right

Topical!

Probably, but that doesn't make them less obvious

Ehhhhhhhh season two falls more heavily into some of the same traps that season one did, and suffers quite a lot because of it.

It's a movie with moments of insight and cleverness, but mostly obvious gags based on the concept.

And Blacula.

UNNNFFFFF

I've defended the casting of the two big Scooby Movies before, for reasons I don't entirely understand, but basically:

Agreed. I had a similar thought a couple years back when this old guy wrote into SL and told the story of how he had repressed his attraction to bondage/S&M his whole life, and only in his waning years had he found the courage and freedom to own up to it. His life had vastly improved as a result.

That's reasonable speculation, but still speculation. Also, you're looking at it with all the benefits of hindsight; you don't have to consider the uncertainty of whether the show can rebound from a creative implosion in the latter half of season two. You don't have to gamble on how many kids would end up sitting in…

Hey Arnold! fans have been calling it TJM for a decade plus at this point, but that's not really a descriptive/meaningful title for people who aren't as familiar with the property.

Eh, the series kind of fudged up its own works in season 2. I can't blame Nick for not having total faith in a really really reaaaaallllly uneven series at that point.

Sci-Ron! Tee-Shee!

It's only there because you went looking for it!
