And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Seriously, what's the POINT of giving a speech if you issue talking points ahead of time and don't have decent elocution? Whatever.

Sarameg is me. Dude could hire an actor, I might want to listen to the speech. Double points if he hires the guy who played the bishop in The Princess Bride!

Top Chef again: I loved this week's Quickfire Challenge. And from that point on you could clearly see that Michael was back to his Flintstonian ways.

I just found out that this props sale [link] starts tomorrow not far from me.

You have to love a sale that includes:

1 Coffin, black painted wood. Six-sided, "Dracula-style".

Re: Friday Night Lights

Dear Matt Saracen,

If you could age ten years overnight so I could marry you, that would be good.

I watched the last 20 minutes of Friday Night Lights.

Shrift, which one is Matt Saracen? Wheelchair boy? Kid whose dad is a soldier? The very annoying self-involved football player? Or the kid with the hair?

Kid whose dad is a soldier. He was the second string quarterback when the kid in the wheelchair who was the first string quarterback got injured in a game in the pilot. Now Matt's the first string quarterback.

Matt Saracen = quarterback/son of a soldier
Jason Street = ex-quarterback/wheelchair kid
Brian "Smash" Williams = annoying self-involved football player
Tim Riggins = kid with the hair

Sorry -- realized after the fact that it should all be in white.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

1 Coffin, black painted wood. Six-sided, "Dracula-style"

I abandoned one of those in one of my moves. I left it at the far end of the backyard somewhat covered in broken tree branches. I was very nervous while the landlord was inspecting before returning our deposit.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Man I loved that song when it came out.

Is it "(I wanna) Sex You Up"?

Top Chef:

What a bunch of bullshit. I mean, not that Mikey wasn't clearly the least talented chef left, but Marcel served RAW CHICKEN. I mean, WTF? Can you make a bigger mistake as a chef that doesn't involve people going to the hospital? I admit that I was shocked that Mikey got this far, but I don't think that his was the worst sin. The thing with the olive pits was because they were men. If Elia had been on the team, they would have had a little dish I also thought that it was unfair to blame Mikey for having money left over. Ilan and Sam were the ones who budgeted so badly that they didn't have enough for wine. Mikey had $75 budgeted for wine glasses, which he suddenly didn't need. He was supposed to just buy random shit? Unfair, and a blatant excuse.

The judge was really rude with his comment about the stuff on the plate. And he had horrible hair.

I gotta say, I don't know who's going next week. they are all talented. I think that it will come down to someone screwing up.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

the guy who played the bishop in The Princess Bride

(I assume you mean The Impressive Clergyman) was a great great man who died over ten years ago.
