Amy should have considered Bert. He may not be an Adonis, but he probably wants to have sex with her. How long is she going to wait for Sheldon? (It's interesting how when they first met she was so uninterested in physical affection - all of it, including coitus, was off the table.) If Sheldon's personality is so

Revenge of the Nerds was at least in 1984.

That's because he is an idiot. I also call a spade a spade.

If it was, my subconscious told me to ignore that.

There was nothing particularly aggressive about what I said. I can see you made several mistakes, though, in your reply. It's not very likely that I would be on the same medication you are, or any medication. I wonder how I'm "quite obviously full of it," when I merely asked if you are always such a buzzkill. I'm

Maybe her parents still pay her rent - that wouldn't be unheard of. Or maybe she's got a sideline as a lady of the evening persuasion? The manager of the Cheesecake Factory could be operating an illegal brothel.

At least Leonard gets to fuck Penny, so unlike Chandler he's at least getting something out of it. I guess that kind of makes him a john, though.

Even though Leonard has managed to get a girl like Penny, it's frequently said how lucky he is to have managed something so improbable. Frequently, too, the interests of these guys - and even their should-be-respected jobs, are held up as reasons landing a beautiful woman like that is so unlikely. Partly it's due to

Any Holocaust movie. Anything remotely related to the Holocaust.

Make sure you film it and put it on YouTube.

She got old, and for a woman in Hollywood that's not allowed.

I hated Mr. Rogers when I was kid, he just seemed so creepy and insincere, and he talked down to his audience.

If they did, it would be because Rita had cheated on him. Or got too many DUIs. Or had kiddie porn on her computer

I like it a lot, but it's safe. All the inmates are criminals with hearts of gold. In the novella, Red at least cold bloodedly murdered his wife and mother-in-law, but in the movie they changed it to some 1920s gangbanger shooting. So, the schmaltz is there, just on reflection not in the same vast quantities as

Who gives a shit? Awards don't mean anything anyway. Why hate the guy because a bunch of idiot voters picked his movie over Pulp Fiction? (I don't include Shawshank because that was a piece of schmaltz equal to Forrest Gump.)

Are you always on? I bet you don't get invited to many parties, you'd suck the life out of any room.

Those other versions of the word don't diminish the impact of the original, or detract in any way. Time allows people to make jokes about things like this. Comedians even make holocaust jokes. Given time, no one cares.

It isn't comparable. Even the author's idiot cousin probably wasn't suggesting that. It's just the same idea, according to him, and it kind of is. My only objection is that the observation will have occurred to everyone who sees this show.

No one cares what his cousin said. I get, he's 13 - he's making the unsubtle point that if it occurs to a 13-year-old… But it's a point that would probably occur to anyone of any age who's watched the show. That said, I guess these two cousins get a lot more love than I'd have thought, judging by the number of

I guess I was a bit harsh. On the cousin at least. I guess I was more irritated how the author felt the need to include an observation, slightly (but unnecessarily) tweaked, that's probably occurred to every single person who's ever seen the show.
