Heh.

Wow, I still remember that.
I was going to weigh in on Studio 60, but bon bon just nailed every problem I had with the show last night.
AmyLiz, regarding:
It's sharp dialogue without meaning, most of the time.
Without going into spoilers, I will say in a roundabout way, I think my problem with last night's show was it felt like everything had meaning. Which just felt ponderous. Every episode feels like it's striving to be something more, yet I find myself enjoying little asides from Matt or his wry reactions to things much more than the big moments.
Now I can't decide if I should bother watching Studio 60 or not. If it's going to get canceled, I guess I might as well?
CAKESICLE, CAKESICLE, THE WORD HAS LOST ALL MEANING.
...or something like that, right? I love half-knowing about inside jokes I wasn't even inside of.
I don't know the joke, but that pan is awesome! I want one. Now.
Cocksicle, wasn't it? Something Emily said re: Smallville?
Originally tartlet. From that episode of Friends.
Shawn: cocksicle. Again, I repeat, adolescent giggle factor. I wish I could use this word more often in everyday life, but it simply does not come up frequently enough in class.
"Well, Professor Simma, don't you think that *not* having a provision in which countermeasures must be stopped when states have a claim before an international tribunal would basically make international tribunals into cocksicles? I mean, really?"
Plei: I'm finding the stupidest excuses to use cocksicle, but as I'm unemployed, it's mostly me yelling at my cats "Ohm, stop being a cocksicle and get off my dry cleaning!" or "Mo, you cocksicle, can't you see I'm trying to type? Off! Off!"
Emily S.: See, that would seem to imply that it'd be a bad thing. As opposed to,
"Oh man, after a day like that, I could sure use a cocksickle."
"It went down smooth and satisfying as a cocksickle."
"My goodness, ita, you look like the cat that got the cocksickle."
Cocksickle, cocksickle... the word has lost all meaning.
Kate P.: I imagine a bevy of Buffistas cavorting madly through the virtual meadows of the Internet, yelling "COCKSICLE! COCKSICLE!" everywhere they go.
