Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I'm not sure how tag could be eliminated from public schools. In gym class, sure, but at recess?
Well, a lot of schools are eliminating recess. And who ever played tag in gym? So there you go.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My personal favorite moment of the entire show came earlier, though, when Stewart mocked the tee-heeing giggly us-girls ineptitude of the CNN co-anchors at the end of a serious, depressing story in which a spokesflackster had just lied on-air: he flailed, he giggled, he exploded into righteous expletive-laced fury. I would've had his baby right then and there.
Yes! I'd forgotten about that in my irritation with the these-schools-today-head-shake thing, but that was wicked. And I like his sparing use of bleeped obscenity. It nicely adds emphasis to the comedy -- like, "Look at this, isn't this funny? In the way that it drives you fucking insane?"
What's the joke about the "Conflicting theories about the Earth's shape" headline?

Oh, lord. I would hate to be the 2nd grade teacher of a recess-deprived bunch of kids. Do they really expect the little blighters to sit calmly at their desks from 8-3, with only a lunch break? Heck, I can't do that and I'm 37.

True, but that's a money issue more than a morality issue, isn't it?
In my elementary school, freeze tag was one of those "It's too nice a day for me to give you a structured class today" gym class games. (Dodge ball was the rainy-day equivalent.)
