TAR: The TWOP boards are all outraged that the producers planted that guy who helped out Rob and Ambah during last week's episode. (The evidence for this seems to consist primarily of "it was so obvious!" ) Have these people never seen Quiz Show? Or heard the word fraud? Or is it me who's missing something here?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
TAR: Actually, that is the interview I want -- that guy. I want for him to emerge from his Peruvian vision quest and be interviewed, just to say, "Hey, I thought it was kind of cool."
Of course, it is basically evidence that TAR has reached that saturation point where people know what it is, and respond accordingly, rather than just look quizzically at the racers and not lend them cellphones.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's been a fairly big problem the past few seasons (people knowing the show, and trying to get on TV by helping the racers out), to the point where the producers now plant fake racers on alternate routes to divert attention and prevent spoilers.

I wish they would make it against the rules to get a helper. It's okay for someone to give directions, but I hate it when a team find someone and adopt them for their stay in a city.

What is even happening?
Mr. Perlich, 29, was charged in December after he pointed a gun at a neighbor and fired two shots into the air during a dispute over parking. He said he fired after being called out into the street and repeatedly pushed by his neighbor. He moved out of the neighborhood the next day, he said. Mr. Perlich still faces a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana.I think we were having this convo in the Buffy or Angel thread (am too lazy to check). That said, where did you find this, Vortex? I googled my fingers off, and couldn't.
(eta, wasn't so lazy after all--it was the Buffy thread: Vortex "Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh." Mar 3, 2005 12:07:41 pm PST)
Was this a while ago, or is Whistler actually younger than I am?
It was a while ago. He was born March 28, 1968, which I found, while googling my fingers off, meaning he's about to turn 37.

It was a while ago.
It was just before or just after I moved to Baltimore in '97...er...if he was 29 it must have been 1997 then. Back when I was also 29.

(Oh, and re: the Portuguese, Chuck was an exchange student in Brazil a ways back, and learned it there.)

Skipped to say:
But she doesn't have Long Way Round, if memory serves.
Acutally I do. Robin taped it for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Acutally I do.
Now you start reading old posts?
I can't catch a break. Or rather, Lee can't, since I wasn't the one suffering tauntage.

Alias: this is not where the healthy people live.
Bahahahaha!
I wanna learn to surf.
Okay, we can make this be so. I think I could really enjoy surfing.
Because that's where the pretty barefoot shirtless swingy men are.
This is what we should do on Sunday.
Hey, we have one at the centre for you -- he's also hella tall, good fighter, Nordic accent.
Was this also the one on the crap show?
Now you start reading old posts?
But Lee acknowledged that she thought I had the show. that's all.
Okay, I should go to to the post office to drop of DVDs
