Why is there no CAT History Month?

I've still never seen Gangnam Style.

But what if meteors have destroyed all the other theaters in the world and all the other showings of Wonder Woman in that one theater are sold out? WHAT THEN, I ASK YOU???

"Shit you don't have to think about" in a social setting generally means not having to notice that men routinely interrupt and talk over women, repeat their statements and get credit for them, and/or view them as monopolizing the conversation if they speak a third of the time.

I like Eddie Izzard's strategy: fall to the ground howling. Embarrass the asshole by calling attention to his behavior. Although that's not going to work with Vulgarian; he's incapable of feeling embarrassment.

Do you think someone's set this up for Vulgarian too? I really hope they have to run it by Mattis before any keys get turned.

My first-ever kiss was on Big Thunder! But then the gears slipped, the train jerked, and I accidentally bit him.

Most of the mother's sweaters are the real Bev Goldberg's sweaters from the 80s. Adam F. used to hang out in the comments when AV Club was reviewing The Goldbergs, and dropped all kinds of fun behind-the-scenes info on us.

You have a pit? Luxury!

Better dead than red!

Pretty much nothing in this episode is from the book, so don't bother about what you're missing.

Something I noticed is that we're used to seeing shots of people brushing their teeth as if we're watching the mirror. But when the camera pulled back, there was no mirror over the sink, presumably to deter vanity. That gave me a little headspin, a "something is not right" feeling.

Ireland, where Stephen Fry was just investigated for the crime of blasphemy?

It's definitely this, esp. with Ivanka saying "I don't know what complicit means," and Webster's Dictionary tweeting her with the definition. Which was awesome.

"But I want it" is a very powerful counterpoint to "This thing you want comes at the expense of other people's lives."

I thought that maybe, rather than send third-time handmaids to the Colonies, they might trade them. After all, they've still had healthy children earlier in their lives, and there might be some eggs left in there. Also, Gilead has been going on for, what, eight years? They're just about done with their first class of

St. Theresa knew what was going on.

It's no different than what the right-wing does now with taxes, health care, et al. How many times does trickle-down have to fail before people finally say "Well, guess that doesn't work, how about we try something that doesn't involve giving more money to rich people?"

I couldn't hear most of the Bible stuff (because they were whispering and I was well into my weekly bottle of wine that it takes me to watch this show) but I definitely caught something about Eve being created for Adam, so that ties into the creation myth and "biological destiny." (I expected Song of Solomon, the

What the hell did you say to him? I've thought about doing something like that, but in my mind the guy takes it as a compliment (as they expect women to do). "Hey, shake that ass over this way!" doesn't come across the same from a woman to a man.
