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.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I have only seen the second episode of Beauty and the Geek. At least, I think it was the second one. It was the one where the girls learned how to do some basic car maintenance and the guys learned how to give massages. I was not overwhelmed.

However, I would vote for importing the Dancing with the Stars format into any TV realm. Seeing a judge compare J. Peterman to a sleek panther stalking his prey after a scorching Tango? That's just a little slice of TV nirvana right there.

Sing it, my sister! mr flea and I tangoed (badly) down the hall to bed after the end of the show. He didn't waggle his eyebrows like J. Peterman, though.

Also, doesn't John O'Hurley do the Westminster dog show on Thanksgiving now, too? He's parlayed his moment into good stuff.

Hippo birdies, askye!

Mighty quiet 'round these parts today. Is it a holiday I don't know about or something?

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

The weird part is, J. Peterman was a terrible overactor on soaps when I was in high school. (Guiding Light, I want to say, but I disremember.)

Then he started minting irony, and became a genius.

I watched a few minutes of the dancing show, but there were a lot of other things on at the same time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You have multibple tickets, right? I'll see if I can round up some friends to go with me.

They didn't give us a limit, but I think "within reason" was implied.

Chekhov rocks!

Especially when adapted by Brian Friel!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is so cold in my office, I feel like [Batman spoiler]. It's not even hot outside! There is NO NEED for the A/C to be on today!

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

Jesse, will this help warm you up at all?

I have to admit that I am getting a smidge of the John O'Hurley -oost. I don't remember him from soaps. What was he on?
