How much do I love the possibility of getting to hear a television character call something "craptastic"?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I had a meeting at NBC last week and the executive's assistants told me "Drive" was their favorite pilot script (they rank the competish).
Ack! Variety-speak!

We had a television character call something "sucktastic" on VM a couple weeks ago.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Russell T. Davies had a character use the term chavtastic in Doctor Who s2 ep1 "New Earth".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just ordered it, David
A sound investment. It's like a very cold cynical and tonic served with a twist of lime.
Even after watching Arrested Development and Adult Swim shows and various other boundary pushing efforts, I still watched Action and kept thinking, "They aren't really going to go there are they? They did!"

Um.
Or, not "fun", because of the gasping and the oh-my-goodness and the ouches in my head. So some other word, that's less merry than fun, but still keeps the meaning?
Exhilarating? As that's what came to mind while reading your "ramblings".

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I can't believe no one has picked this line up and snuggled it and fed it pudding and soup and called it George.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

It struck entirely too close to home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the license plate game? I have a license plate game, which is to work out exactly when California plates moved from writing the word California in all caps to writing it with cursive. So far, 3FIK seems to be the highest plate with asscaps.
I have a long commute.
