I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the incredible amount of nay-saying...since you've established that you don't even want to enter academia, I see no reason why you shouldn't go for the PhD. It sounds like it's very important to you personally, to say nothing of what professional doors it might open for you, and I…

Dude, corned beef is delicious, potatoes are delicious, and thus, corned beef hash is delicious. Unless you are anti-potato or anti-corned beef, I don't see what you can have against such a delicious dish (which is incidentally very similar to pyttipanna, a Swedish meat hash).

Eggs 100% go with hash! Come on, people.

Completely agree. If anything, the Ross/Rachel situation you describe is more "classic network" than this sort of character progression in a sitcom. I don't understand what everyone is talking about. Who says you can't be funny and irreverent about stodgy institutions like marriage and parenthood?

This!

I feel the same way. I loved this season, and I thought it was hilarious. I also love her improbable pairing with Danny, and unlike many of the commenters, I think they're a pretty fantastic, strangely complementary couple. Yes, he does weird shit, but so does she—that's kind of the point, I think.

Jon Stewart is super fucking hot, are you kidding?! The ladies love him (myself included).

It's funny you say that, because my now ex-boyfriend said the same thing: we watched this show together, and I told him I thought Messina was really hot, and he was just like "What?! Wtf?!?!!?" One of the few celebrities we were totally divided on. So yeah, I'd say like GinAndTonic that it's his charisma, and also his…

There's no accounting for taste.

and tells the story better than the books??

How is Mitchikins trolling, exactly?

But what if you loathe your friend's girlfriend and do not want to be forced to hang out with her, too? :)

Yeah, same here. Never been cheated on. I have plenty of trust issues in relationships, but that's not the reason. :)

You could hang out at a park, depending on the weather — walk to the top of Mt. Tabor and enjoy the view, or go to Waterfront Park, Washington Park, the park blocks in SW or NW, or if you're feeling more adventurous there are (many) trails in Forest Park which is accessible from the NW area of the city. As others have…

So sad :(

This is my school. We got the official e-mail about this just recently, and even though I'm affiliated with student organizations I was totally unaware this was happening until I saw the e-mail.

lol @ "the male experience"

...why?

Well, the rep that's come from his seriously good performance on The Fall, I think. He's a very talented actor and this will probably overshadow that.

He looks confused. "Why did I sign on for this project, again? Whose child did you say she was?"
