He means me, of course.

Waif & The Fatman.

I rest my case.

Strega, I went back and listened to the "Billy" commentary. It's AWFUL. What a pompous, loud mouthed, attention seekng HACK. Every word SCREAMS 'PLEASE LOVE ME!!!!"

Nope. Ain't true. Bell was fine. (I kid, I kid!)

Although I am apparently a really good canary if you figure that most people will react in the opposite way that I do, so it's possible that you should ignore me. But I really liked that commentary, because it made me appreciate things that I didn't see originally. And it was fun.

(But: if you want to plan something ahead of time for, say, The Inside, you could ask Shawn Ryan for tips. His commentaries on the first season of The Shield are clearly very structured but still amusing. Except maybe the one with the cameraman, which was way too technical for me.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I would like Tim to work the following sentences into his next commentary, just for me:

1) "My most heartfelt apologies to the Black Panther Party for the next scene. I just didn't know."

2) "The premise for this episode came to me in a fevered dream one night on the Serengeti. I was bitten by a blowfly and came down with the malaria, and thought, 'My god, I'm going to die alone in this tent, deafened by the steady heartbeat of the Earth Mother pounding in my ears, in this, the birthplace of humanity,' and just then, the fever broke, and it hit me, defenestration is always funny."

3) "Anyone who saw the episode of Diff'rent Strokes when Arnold pretends to wet his bed for attention will totally understand why I directed this shot the way I did."

The evil is this way?

See if I stick up for your 99% reliability, again. I won't, because...oh wait, before I continue, do you still have access to the file o' Jossy lying goodness?

I’m not sure I understand this question. Nope. I'm not sure I don't. Huh?

I know nothing about Slayers. Sorry, I just don't.

This explains Season 7 of “Buffy.”

I may have to seize the cat.

I wanted to add something clever to this discussion. Instead, here is what happened - I saw Kristen's post about this season's TV, and was consumed by one thought:

The Inside isn't on. I miss it.

Okay, that's all.

Your tag here.

defenestration is always funny

de·fen·es·tra·tion An act of throwing someone or something out of a window.

Haha, now I get it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I personally have always thought it's cool that there's a specific word for chucking somebody out a window. Especially, since in theory, it's not really an activity one encounters on a day to day basis.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can that word be applied to tossing someone out an airlock, like Laura Roslyn is fond of doing on Battlestar Galactica?

I think that's commonly referred to as "spacing" people. Which, as word, just doesn't have nearly the same flair.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

From the Latin fenestra, window. Now if we only knew the Latin word for "airlock".

I think tossing someone out an airlock should be referred to as "vaccuuming" them.
