It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

What is even happening?

Is that the Towelie reference everyone keeps mentioning? I saw Pulp Fiction, but I don't remember many lines from it.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

The Towelie thing was a reference to South Park, if I'm not mistaken. Towelie was a stoned towel and the guy seemed stoned so... The Pulp Fiction stuff was like next or near to it.

Well, the Swing-Dancing Banana Fanna man was a little goofy looking.

Yeah, I don't really want an end to the pretty; my default pointing out setting is 'whiny'.

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

The Pulp Fiction reference was the "Say 'what' again, I dare you" bit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

All the way through, "Check out the big brain on Brett!" Originally all spoken by Samuel L. Jackson near the beginning of the movie, IIRC. In the same scene as "Now *that* is a tasty burger!"

Here's the scene, major profanity ahoy:

Jules Winnfield: What does Marcellus Wallace look like?

Brett: What?

Jules Winnfield: What country you from?

Brett: What?

Jules Winnfield: What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?

Brett: What?

Jules Winnfield: ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO-YOU-SPEAK-IT?

Brett: Yes.

Jules Winnfield: Then you know what I'm saying.

Brett: Yes.

Jules Winnfield: Describe what Marcellus Wallace looks like.

Brett: What, I-?

Jules Winnfield: [pointing his gun] Say what again. SAY WHAT AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker. Say what one more goddamn time.

Brett: He's b-b-black.

Jules Winnfield: Go on.

Brett: He's bald.

Jules Winnfield: Does he look like a bitch?

Brett: What?

[Jules shoots Brett in shoulder.]

Jules Winnfield: DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?

Brett: No.

Jules Winnfield: Then why you try to fuck him like a bitch, Brett?

Brett: I didn't.

Jules Winnfield: Yes you did. Yes you did, Brett. You tried to fuck him. And Marcellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody, except Mrs. Wallace.

Oh man. I love that scene. Thanks for the post, smonster.

You're welcome. Apologies to anyone who saw it before I fixed the quick-edit.

More quotes from Pulp Fiction here.

Gilmore Girls is cancelled. This could be good news for VM, as cancelling VM too means they have to launch two new dramas on Tuesday night, or, even if they move things around, it adds one more to the number of new dramas they have to launch if they had held onto GG.

Art Crawl!!!

VM could totally work at 8 pm Eastern - then they could continue to put the Pussycat Dolls at the 9 Eastern slot.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

CW only has 7 dramas in development. 3 of which are getting good buzz (Gossip Girl, Reaper, and Wild at Heart).

TWoP has reminded me that the CW already has three drama slots to fill. 7th Heaven is certainly not coming back after already being cancelled once and getting crappy ratings this season, and Runaway tanked, so they have two Sunday slots to fill.

If they fill their three open slots with the three pilots they like, they won't even have to bother with cancelling anything else. VM is cheap, dammit. Wildly affordable!
