Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have been known to mock the British myself, although mostly over things like eating baked beans on baked potatoes and their fondness for standing in queues.

Oh, and also - the British? Try the Russians. We all know about the line-standing. When I was in Russia my brother's GF went to pick up baked potatoes for lunch.

What she went to get:

Something kind of plain, with maybe some broccoli or some other veggie on it.

What that translated to:

Slices of ham in cheese sauce
Pickled vegetables, sort of like a gardiniere
Pickles of the usual sort
Hot dog slices in mustard sauce
Something else I disremember

This is on each potato, mind you. They must have been out of beans.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

That's some kind of potato. Wow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Two tidbits from tonight's Alias:

1. Driveshaft's "You All Everybody" is playing at Weiss' party

2. Martin Bishop is Robert Redford's character in Sneakers

And Nadia is hot.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

OK, I think I don't like the "Many Faces of Sydney Bristow" opening credits on Alias. Missed them last week. Not sure what they were before, but they didn't seem so....well, that.

Yeah, I definitely prefer the old credits. The also changed the music up a bit. It sounds too dischordant to me now.

I never heard the fifty dollars thing til last night.

Neither did I. I heard the racist version from my best friend in kindergarten through 2nd grade or so, though. He turned out to be a real jackass when we got older.

P-C, I knew that name sounded familiar and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. Thanks.

I missed the song though. In my defense it may have been in the 2 minutes or so I missed due to a brownout.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I actually kind of got into Alias tonight. Huh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There are a lot of Lost posts. Was it good, or bad?

HAHAHAHA!

OK, so what was the wig to revealing outfit ratio, huh? Miss. Watcher? Um, I didn't pay attention.

One-offs are so much better than the arcs, I think.

In other news, still need to find out the time limit on my jury duty leave, so I can figure out if I can check the ok for grand jury box. I'm way to consciencious. If work would give me 4 months, I'd be ok with OKing it even if I consider it a PIA. Probably most people check no, huh?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

L&O:

So the big deal is that Serena Southerland is a lesbian? I think I preferred Kate's farewell to this one.

edited to add vowels, even if no one can hear their screams.

I thought it was pretty good, but then again, I'm a nice person. A lot of stuff happened.
