Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You know, I really miss the days when shows got cancelled later in the season, even if it did give me time to get attached.

Soon enough, they just won't come back after a commercial break.

I'm now thinking that Lost only did so well last year despite my loving it at startup so that it could grow infuriating to me and then debut to twice the already amazing viewership once I'd fallen out of love.

What is even happening?

A reference to the White Sox.
You know, the hose/sox things totally escaped me the first time. I thought you must have meant to type "horse". Duh on me.

It's endearing, until he does it several times in a row. Then it's just a pain.
That happened here with "Cowboy up" in 2003. I feel your pain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That happened here with "Cowboy up" in 2003. I feel your pain.

Yeah, but "Cowboy up" was one year. They've always been the Pale Hose.

Part of that antiquated sportswriter lingo from the early century where they'd call the pennant a "gonfalon."

The evil is this way?

The real question is, why are the called the White Sox? When anyone can see that they wear black socks.

Back in the day (end of the 19th Century/beginning of 20th Century) the players wore white hose. Hence the name. As I recall, this wasn't uncommon. I seem to remember that the Cincinnati Reds were originally the Redstockings -- thus the name "Reds" came from the color of their socks.

Are white socks too dainty? Is it a guilt thing over the 1919 scandal?

Hee. No. They were the White Sox well before they threw the World Series ("Say it isn't so, Joe!!")

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

But that's what I mean! They were the White Sox, and wore white socks, and now they're the White Sox, and wear black socks. I mean, the Reds at least have red on their uniforms, and red socks, even though they're not called the Red Stockings any more. The Red Sox wear red socks, when/if they do the short-pants thing, and those who eschew short pants still understand that, if they were to show leg, it would be clad in red.

But, "White Sox" wearing black socks? Somebody needs to send Ozzie a color-wheel.

Just figured I'd drop back in to mention -- Nick's publicist checked with Fox, and the Times mention isn't true. The show hasn't been yanked.

Now don't forget to watch tonight! John Larroquette guest stars!

Our wings are not tired.

Oh! I like John too.

Oh, I'm so glad. I can't wait. It's a funny show.
