Shit's all sorts of different now.

There was this very traumitizing episode of Little House where a girl named Sylvia, who is friends with Albert, is pregnant. Everyone in the town thinks that the father is Albert, but she is actually getting raped by the town blacksmith who wears a porceline clown mask as a disguise.

I remember that epsiode.

Shudder

If you want to counteract the phobia, perhaps renting Valentine and watching the villain off Denise Crosby and various easy-to-confuse blonde actresses while wearing a porcelain mask would help? I was rooting for the killer through most of the movie before knowing for sure who it was supposed to be.

oh my god, I forgot about Valentine!!! heh! that may break me of the phobia right there! :) that movie was DREADFUL. I remember that a bunch of DCistas went to watch it. And it was funny because the press release several months earlier had said that DB had been cast as the killer. So, we were very confused when we weren't supposed to know who the killer was. Har.

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 did all-nighters from time to time when I was younger. My job even required it for awhile. (Every other week I had to work midnight to 4am at the local office, drive an hour to the corporate office to work from 7am to 7pm, drive an hour back home and then be back at work at the local office for another midnight to 4am shift. It was the suck.) But back then all it did was make me a little tired and loopy the next day.

Last time I tried it was a few years ago. I got Baldur's Gate II for Christmas, was playing it on a Sunday night and suddenly it was 5am Monday morning and I had to be at work in 3 hours. I looked and felt like death warmed over all day and passed out as soon as I got home. So I can't really do that anymore.

Wait, I did do an all-nighter again earlier this year, with similar results, though at least I didn't have to work in the morning that time and was able to pass out early in the afternoon (though I missed Easter dinner because of it.) So, yeah, I need my sleep these days.

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

He made me love Wyoh, BTW. No small feat.

It's a miracle.

Dayamn. Has anybody checked Allyson to make sure she isn't a pod person? I think her pinkies won't bend if so.

Did you also miss Albert becoming a morphine addict (and recovering from it all in one episode)?

And thus, we know who Jack Bauer's ancestor is.

Denise Richards. It's bad enough Lt. Yar got offed by a vicious oil slick (and then the writers spent the rest of the series finding ways to take it back one way or the other); don't go putting her in Valentine too.
