I like the subtle subtext in that description of Brea there: Mr. Brea is NOT GAY. HE IS ALL MAN. HE CHOPS WOOD. So it is totally cool for him to be involved with the PTA, yo, because see, HE IS MANLY and LIKES FOOTBALL.

It's the kiss of DEATH! from Mister....Goooldfingah!

Is it the word "temple" that makes it somehow pagan, or the fact that it's in Hawaii? Because I think there are probably some Jewish people in Hawaii who don't consider their religion "pagan," either.

No Thunders, either, which would make the world a hideous, hideous place.

Yep. +3.

Why is "ladies" cutesy, exactly? And what's wrong with awesome alliteration?

Golden words he will pour in your ear...but his lies can't disguise what you feeeear...

What the others have said.

Actually? I think the fact that the show is focused so heavily on wealthy suburban America might make that difficult—though I agree it would be great to see, absolutely—but it's a GOLDEN opportunity for another show that presents the whole era from the perspective of an African-American MC.

Robin Thicke is straight pimpin', yo.

Oomox!

One of the best moments ever on night-time talk was Kimmel's appearance on Leno's lame show, when he made the joke about how the meanest thing he ever did was promised this guy his talk show and then changed his mind.

Yeah, Carson loved Letterman and hated Leno, especially after Leno played some supermean trick on him—I think he announced Carson was retiring/implied he was, when Carson hadn't decided to do so? And it made a bunch of people start thinking it was time for Carson to go.

It's big and red and white, and it looks like a big Tylenol!

My husband has used "irregardless" for years, and I only finally got up the nerve to correct him because I just couldn't take it anymore.

Yes! Also "supposably." And I see red when I see people use "prejudice" instead of "prejudiced." "I'm not prejudice but..." ARGH, yes you are. Against the English language and its (not "it's") proper use.

I've actually seen that given as a test of intelligence; how well you can read the sentence even when the words are garbled in that fashion.

That's a great point. My stupid cheap phone makes me switch to a different screen (by hitting several buttons) to do things like add apostrophes, so I skip them, which drives me nuts and makes me hate the whole thing.

TOTALLY. I love finding new words and using them when I can.
