Nilly, you are adorable. I've missed you.

Burrell! Thank you!
Not only you are lovely, but you have a great family. I've missed you too. And Franny, who is probably now completely different than how I remember her.
Hmm. How do you get from talking dirty to a 2-years-old toddler in ten posts or less, while staying off-topic the whole time.

Note to File: asspipe = porn.
anybody remember that Weezer song "Hashpipe"? well, the radio stations kept bleeping the "hash" part, so for a while, I thought that the name of the song was Asspipe. Not that it made any sense with the lyrics, but I couldn't figure out what else it could be.
I think I may love "Wax Lion" more than the pilot episode of any other television show ever. "Karma Chameleon" kind of disappointed me, though there were definitely bits of it that indicated the love would be continuing ("B-b-buh-bye!" for example, and the terrified look on Eric's face when he handed Jaye Binky's blurb rewrite). "Wound-up Penguin" was a laugh riot in the second half, and I enjoyed "Pink Flamingos" nearly as much as the pilot.
I didn't fall in love with WF until I saw the unaired episodes. Specifically, "Crime Dog" was my gateway into WF-adoration. The film-noir homage, the detective show mockage, the scrumptiousness of Lee Pace... I was a goner. This and "Cocktail Bunny" (I think? The one with the arson and my single favorite scene in the entire show = Sharon pausing during her mad dash on the stairs and getting a drag on her cigarette) were probably my favorites.
The lack of Lovesick Ass love saddens me. That was the one where I fell head over heels. (Wax Lion couldn't do it for me because the original version, which I saw ages before any other eps, was decidedly too cutesy to be anything more than potentially great. The tweaks made to the aired version worked wonders, but I didn't rewatch it until I'd already seen Muffin Buffalo and Lovesick Ass on the press screeners, and by then I was already hooked.)
I though Lovesick Ass was one of the best episodes of tv ever. If that helps.
I think Crime Dog is my favorite so far; that's where I stopped seeing the family as freaks.
And if it's of any interest (btw, that list of best sf shows? Uh, not) the order the eps were written (and shot) was:
Wax Lion, Pink Flamingos then Crime Dog. Those were the first three.
