Curiosity which he immediately denies to refocus on the real issue, but the dean and the au-dean-ence always notice (that was a typo before it became a dean pun, but once I started, I couldn’t stop myself).

Don’t Chang the subject. We’re dean-scussing The Dean here. Also, I move that we set this discussion of dean puns as a flashback point for later in the episode.

God dean it! That’s better than mine.

I’ve been saying a lot that I think this season is the best the show has been since before the Gas Leak Year, and I mean it.

Weird that Abed would even need a Batman code name. I thought it was official (why the internet only seems to have the first half of this exchange, I will never understand).

Indeed. To me, this is the best the show has been since before the Gas Leak Year.

I don’t know if it’s been used. I was struggling to fit a “dean” into my comment. Glad this one worked out.

Thank you. I had the “ossw” for 64 Accross, but it just wasn’t coming to me…

After six years (well, just a few weekisodes left in the seasonmester before we reach six full years, but close enough) of being the cowardly, inept butt of so many jokes, it was great to see the Dean being a badass for a little bit. Wildly out of character, perhaps, but oddly satis-dean-ing.

At best, it’s forgettable. Which is what I did with it. I’d like to go back and re-read both the original and the sequel, but very little about the sequel actually stuck with me. Plenty of people will tell you it’s bad (I’m kinda surprised they haven’t shown up yet), but I don’t know how, specifically. It’s…

Well, the reduced costs to the consumer does little good if there are fewer consumers because fewer people are working. Something needs to be figured out to, if replace, if not the jobs lost to automation, at least the purchasing power.

I don’t know about “the best”, but my two favorite vacation reads have been the following:

Yeah. I knew it was coming this year, but I didn’t know the title or that it was coming so soon.

Obligatory. I’m not sure how much I actually agree with the sentiment or how applicable it is, but it’s going to come up in a conversation about sci-fi and how war will change in the future. Might as well get it out there:

Psst, I don’t think the people you’re talking to are the same ones who wrote the article. I think the actual warmongers are, at closest, people who were interviewed for this story, and I kind of even doubt that since none of the quotes sound particularly jingoistic or nihilistic.

Man, this is what I’m missing (I wonder why I don’t have it. Was it not included with the GOTY CD-ROM edition? Surely I would have held onto it if I’d gotten it; I’m not dumb). The in-game map is so lacking in detail, unless all you’re interested in is locating the cities and towns. I’m only a few hours into my most…

“And they executed them in the manner most befitting virgins.”

Russia doesn’t have to worry about making its graphics so blatantly terrifying. I mean, just look at those eyes. Stare into that abyss for a while, and when it stares back, you’ll definitely hear a thick Russian accent proudly declaring “We will stop your protests.” The NSA version probably just has the NSA seal,…

“How small are we talking? Like, pony-sized? Golden retriever? Kitten?”

This movie especially pissed me off because at the time that I was talked into seeing it having missed any sort of promotional material for it, I didn’t know exactly what the Simpsons was riffing on when they did their spectacular The Prisoner episode, but the phrase “The Island” came up a lot, so I was expecting it…
