I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am apparently lisah. Which is pretty damn cool, I must say.
It makes a lot of sense to me that Michael would model himself Omar, so seeing him start down that is just, yeah, of course. How successful he will be with it is another question, but we don't see that.

Just to be clear, I didn't have a problem with the idea of Michael emulating Omar, but the execution was poor, I thought, because I don't get Michael suddenly carrying a double-barreled shotgun or making quips. Too sudden.

Right, Corwood. What I took away was that 1) we don't really know how much time has passed so Michael may have had time to develop his schtick.
and (or possibly) or 2) the stories of Omar are legendary. It makes sense that Michael might start off by imitating him.
Oh! Was that Randy with him?
Or was that just my mind?

Maybe I'm not as white as they think. I don't care about being spoiled. But I do appreciate the tribute in y'alls whitefont. If he thinks that is a curse, he should trying being asked about shit like Terri Schiavo by total strangers. Dag. But I suppose nobody'd read a blog called stuff ABs like.

Still loving The High Hat shout-out.Of course, any cool I get from it is just by association, but...and "fan service" sounds like he bent you over a radio car.(Thanks, Corwood, for the episodes. Now I want pepper steak.)

But now you have to read my thoughts. I think this season would be better if Templeton were not such a one-note asswipe. I usually can count on Simon to find humanity in unexpected places, but watching Templeton, I expect him to grow a mustache so he can twirl it. ETA: OMG. "She didn't know what "et al" meant so she filed them all under the same number." Argh.
