Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

What is even happening?

If my sources are correct, it's Kiba Rika's birthday.

Happy Birthday, Kiba!

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

That was just brilliantly done. Especially coming right after the Paul thing. First you're skeeved that he's making himself a Rebecca to his Paul, then, wait, there's something else going on, and then suddenly you realize he is making a Rebecca, just not the one you thought.

sighhh... Our Tim just loves us so.

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

Happy birthday, Kiba! She hasn't seen the episode yet, so she might not stop by for a bit.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Well, Rebecca's explanation was that Web got bored and looked through old files on the weekends, and he apparently has a photographic memory.

Dude. He wasn't bored and looking through them. He likes looking at crime scene photos. He has, like, a side table book of them. He knows that shit like some of us know what artwork was done by which artist from what school.

Huh, that just reminded me - I was curious if that was a real book. I know there are books of Weegee's photographs out there, for instance.

The book is called Scene of the Crime. It's a collection of crime scene photos found in the LAPD archives.

It's a really cool book.

Excellent. Not that I need a copy. I can see just about anything as long as it's fictional, but the real stuff squicks me out something fierce.

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

I have the huge WeeGee book, a collection which came out during the retrospective a few years ago. Lots of crimes in it, but lots of other stuff as well--Yiddish Theater actors, bar denizons from the Lower east Side, circus performers, Firemen--it's amazingly wonderful.

Kubrick managed to get him as the still photographer for DR. STRANGELOVE. Which reminds me that there's a pricey but well-reviewed Taschen book of stills from the Kubrick archives. I may need to splurge.
