Because Katie Lee is gone.
Oh, that's good, anyway.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

God is not supposed to be understood to be an asshole in the OT - that's a fairly contemporary reading.
I think it's equally misguided to think he's not meant to be an asshole, though. You weren't supposed to worship God because he was the nicest. You worship him because he's God. The idea that God should be benevolent is a NT retcon. When God finally speaks to Job directly, he basically says, "'Cause I'm the Almighty, that's why; you can't judge my actions." That's the only argument that makes Job stop bitching. Ezekiel makes the same point rather emphatically.
I think I watched some show about the Book of Job a while back where there were scholars saying that the last chapter or two, when Job regrets his impertinence, are believed to be by a different author.

Do you mean the Katie Lee-bot? Or Tom Colicchio?
Katie the Fembot can go, though I'll miss her a little bit. Her disturbing, Uncanny Valley woodenness was a small part of the fun for me.
But they'd best not touch my Chef Tom Colicchio. I have a love for him that might border on the unhealthy.

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

Wowie, I hope that gives some reality show producer a brilliant idea.
Important dating advice for guys: You Are Not Lloyd Dobler
Absolutely under no circumstances should you rent Say Anything, or any John Cusack movie from the 80's, for one simple reason: You are not Lloyd Dobler. And you can't hope to compete with Lloyd Dobler, so don't even let it come up.

Except, of course, last week, when he did DC, and could only say "The Fightin' District!"
HMOG, his interview with the DC representative was funny.

Maybe it is cooling down! (Usually the peak is more towards sunset, so I'm not betting on it.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Where is that data from?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The idea that God should be benevolent is a NT retcon.
Is it a retcon or a transition? I always saw it as the latter.
I found the suggestion cards for the cafeteria, and have written my notes about the mystery muffins and the lack of ginger ale. I just can't see where to put it now.
