That gnome is funny, if only because of the crossed fingers. I wish it were a little cheaper, though, because how fun would it be to buy one to smash it??
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think it's mitigated, Trudy, by it being really damned obvious he was gonna do it. Much less post traumatic stress suffered in situations like that.
He also threatened them with the gun before he did it.
They never let things impact that actually would-- the helicopter crashing in the ambulance bay, the various vehicles that have plowed into the waiting room... Carter, Abby, and Mark were upset by being personally attacked on the premises, but the incidents never seemed to bother anyone else.
It annoys me deeply how they have to inject dozens of far out tragedies into an EMERGENCY ROOM. And nobody can just have a kid... well, Susan is the first. There has to be a custody battle or a divorce or someone dead. Hell, Eric LaSalle's character got all three AND a question of paternity AND the kid was disabled. Oy.

I have a friend who really wants to get one and drop it off a roof somewhere. But that would mean spending the money and taking the effort.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think it would be most fun to catapult Gnome!Bush on a trebuchet.
Maybe it could be set on fire first.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Maybe TDS will buy one and smash it.

So many options. So few gnomes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, but it's a soap. A soap masquerading as a medical show, but a soap nonetheless. Just be glad no one's evil twin has showed up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Uhh, Abby was kidnapped two eps ago, and there was definitely impact of at least an episode.
But it's TV -- cops don't get that many interesting cases all back to back, Vegas crime scenes can't be that fascinating.
I've been to real live ERs. They were pretty boring, and I probably wouldn't watch the show.

Don't give them any ideas!
The best episodes are never the stunts, you know? Bradley Whitford's wife dies unexpectely and everyone cries for a YEAR. Abby's bi-polar mother shows up and its gripping. Chen decides to euthanize her father... all reasonable things. Kellie Martin's character is stabbed to death, however, and after Dr. Romano sheds a character-deepening tear we never hear about her again.
