Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Awww, I get a heart with a jaunty little curly tail! Mwah right back!

Because I am bored unto death, and the latest med student slipped away before I could stab him, I just wandered onto IMDB to look at the user comments for "Throw Momma..." because there's usually nothing more delicious than an earnest IMDB user comment on a dark and non-mainstream movie. It did not disappoint; on page 1 of the comments was a long and positive review from someone who felt duty-bound to point out that in real life a college professor would probably not be able to think of something witty to say while he was lying on the floor groaning after being hit on the head with a frying pan, but that despite this failure of realism it was really very enjoyable.

Not as good as the "Princess Bride" user who complained about the poor research and pointed out in earnest indignation that Guilder and Florin are not the names of real countries but of pieces of money, but still quite nice.

I can't even.

No stabbing, JZ, but why don't you shrift one of them just a little? Wouldn't word get around amongst the herd?

Unfortunately, all that happens is that the director of medical education then gets snippy with me and asks pointedly if it would be possible for me to be just a little nice for two seconds.

It's truly mindboggling, the simultaneous senses of entitlement and total floppy helplessness you see among spectacularly educated professionals and professionals-to-be. I'm sure Allyson can come in and back me up WRT scientists, and flea and amych on other academics. It's bizarre; it's like in order to actually receive each advanced degree after the bachelor's, you have to submit to having a chunk of your common sense surgically removed. (With exceptions for the highly educated among the Buffistas, naturally, but y'all already know you're above average.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We're like the kids in Lake Wobegon.

Heh. I actually thought about saying that you were all strong, good looking, and above average, and I forget why I decided not to go that route.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Why, for the love of all that are potatoes, are tater tots sometimes called "mexi-nuggets"?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm especially fond of the King Rolo.

Huh? I've never heard them called that before.

I want to know what happens when you shrift someone. It seems like it would involve liquor. And porn. Nothing these nimrods deserve.

Aimee, after a bit of Googling, it seems Taco Bell had tater tots seasoned with spicy seasonings that were called mexi-nuggets. After being tested in limited markets, they were pulled off the menu.
