What are you going to do, not have butts?

I was thinking the exact same thing — I assumed it was some dark serial-killer drama that my parents watch and Netflix keeps suggesting to me.

Come to Seattle. For some reason that I haven't figured out, there's one here.

And more 4-day weekends than you can shake a stick at!

Absinthe story time:

I would go just to be able to say, "[friend's name], we are LEAVING!"

Man, I still haven't seen that. Heard lots of good things, though.

A show based on this guy or other officers *might* be funny, but I'd be worried that audiences wouldn't find the character believable.

Do middle schoolers even learn about split infinitives and participles anymore? And I don't think I've diagrammed a sentence since I was in 2nd grade.

I think they mostly teach artless use of the passive voice and needless use of five-dollar words.

I was a legal writing teaching assistant my second year of law school. Surprisingly, considering the self-selecting element there, we had a lot of the same problems — really smart kids who couldn't write for shit.

A friend of mine wrote something similar:

I used to be a liaison officer to a large metropolitan police department for a state law enforcement agency. Some of the reports I read would make a middle school English teacher shudder.

I mean, there's gotta be some comedy gold in those OERs and TOC sessions, amirite?

I spent some time at FOB Marez (six weeks) and FOB Sykes (four months) in Iraq as a joe. Have you guys seen the show? From the trailers earlier this year, I thought it was going to be terrible, but it's been getting surprisingly good reviews from military-vetted sources.

That Henry Gale episode arc is still one of my favorite things ever on television.

He was so awesome on Lost. I was kind of irritated when they unceremoniously killed him off when it was pretty apparent that they'd intended a longer character arc for him. But I don't begrudge him getting a better acting gig.

Could someone explain to me why everyone hates "F+W" so much? I certainly never thought of it as one of my favorites, but I don't cringe through it on re-watching like I do the Nikki and Paulo episodes (which, strangely enough, weren't as bad as I remembered when I rewatched this fall).

4, 2, 3 (in order) for me. 5 seemed a little shoehorned. And I actually liked most of 6, too, and don't understand a lot of the hatred for it. Although, I started rewatching when I was overseas for a couple months this fall and was dreading having to watch all the flash-sideways moments knowing that they were, for the…
