Don't forget questionable taste in reading material.

"back sockets"

Untreated postpartum depression could explain some of it, but it doesn't seem like the writers are making that part of her storyline.

Genius marketing move to open the same week as 50 Shades. Not because anyone wants to see this drivel, but because anyone too embarrassed to buy a ticket to 50 Shades will buy a ticket to this one instead and then "mistakenly" find their way into the wrong theater in the multiplex.

I'd love to see a Bill flashback from the point of view of someone else who lived then. One where in reality Bill was an asshole who beat his slaves and couldn't wait to go off to war to get away from a wife he hated.

And here I was thinking it was a socioeconomic commentary on the still unresolved foreclosure crisis, using an empty luxury swimming pool from an abandoned home to signal the loss of the American Dream, evaporated like so much chlorinated water in a desert wasteland.

Yes, but it's a convenient loophole if the group is religiously or morally opposed to suicide.

The difference here is that Latinos (in the u.s.) have historically been a minority who have experienced systemic discrimination and have not been in the same position of power that men have historically had over women.

I also read it as true but not factual, in the way that mythology and morality tales are not about depicting actual historical events but rather about describing larger truths about human nature. The events are true in the sense that yes, human beings really are capable of being that terrible to one another, and yet,…

I wondered about the "Garden of Eden" line as well. Is it alluding to Malvo being a supernatural force of evil, or was it Malvo just playing mind games with Lou, or a glimpse into Malvo's hubris at thinking he's actually as powerful as the devil?

Poe's transphobia? I honestly cannot tell if you're trolling as a caricature of transphobic internet comments (as well as xenophobic—seriously, what's with the Canada hatred?) or if you actually believe what you're writing.

Yes, you can touch a person having a seizure if needed, you're just not supposed to restrain them or hold them down. If they have food in their mouth and might be in danger of choking, then get them on their side or try to clear their mouth out. (It's also ok if they're on their back—they're not going to swallow…

Good call on the federal jurisdiction—any of the lawyers here care to weigh in? My only guess would be that the pot dealer was only selling within the state, hence the local jurisdiction. Then again that could also lead to DEA and a bunch of other federal agencies getting involved so yeah, it's a little clumsy that…

Sex is a chimera
I saw a crack whore eat her own arm
I saw a baby drown like a cat
sex
just keeps us occupied
because reality
can't be endured
even this
will end in smoke

Ok, how about this? Jost just isn't funny, and I don't think any amount of sketch work is going to change that.

From the way you start your post it sounds like you're saying someone should put in their time doing sketches *before* they go on to be a WU anchor, which I don't think was the case for Fey.

Tina Fey went from the writers' room to WU and she did just fine.

k.d. lang's version of “Down to the River to Pray” needs to be released as a single.

Office co-worker finally works up the courage to talk to their supervisor: "Say uh, if ya got a minute… I can come back if you're busy, I don't want to pester you if you've got a lot going on and I don't have an appointment or anything… So, I don't want to be a Nosy Nellie or anything like that, but I thought I should…

I thought that was a good example of "Minnesota Nice" gone wrong: everyone's too afraid to offend or make a conflict worse so they don't get involved.
