I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

not sumi, but I'm pretty sure that Hopper thought that Jared just had the epilepsy and wasn't really looping - J referencing the biting made H rethink that. Early in the ep whatshername the girlfriend and Adam Baldwin's ex-wife said something about H being extra stubbly even thought he shaved yesterday - I think it means that their bodies are persisting through the loops even more than it previously seemed (ie, I kind of assumed that the body reset with the day, but retained reminders of injuries - the beard thing seems to imply that they are aging on their own timelines).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So, who watched The Sarah Silverman Program?

On the basis of Tim Goodman's review I Tivoed it and really liked it.

The best comparison I can make is that it's like the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure. She plays a character that's from a weirder universe dropped into a very ordinary universe. It was funny! I loved her psychedelic trip on cough syrup.

We only said they had to bring the next one to the next party or next year. So not day after day.

So my co-workers were even crazier than I thought at the time? Well, all right!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But didn't Hopper pick Jared up first thing the second day after they met and talked? I seem to recall a scene (I love watching online, but scanning for particular scenes isn't convenient) of Jared jumping into the Avalanche (see? Product placement works. Okay, not until I buy one, I guess).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Well, the theory is that they've had really good luck that year because of finding the baby, so the least they can do is spring for a cake.

I remember the scene you mean, he did pick him up, but I don't think Jared knew who he was - Hopper asked if Jared knew him and J was noncommittal, said something about forgetting a lot of things, or something similar that could mean "I didn't recognize you at first, but know I know who you are", or "I don't remember you, but I'll believe we've met".

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Oh, I didn't know there was luck attached. That makes so much more sense.

Hah! I'm trying to imagine what y'all must've thought the tradition was. "Dammit! Somebody got a plastic baby in their piece! I guess that means Hopkins has the cake tomorrow."

Filing that next to, "There's a canoe with beer!" "IT'S A PIROUGE!" and "Who Dat!?!" "The Saints!" "IT'S A CHEER!" in people who didn't grow up like I did are funny.

Thanks, -t. That explains better why he went to hospital to get the world's-fastest-MRI-with-reading.

For the relationship bitter among us. I snicker because I have a couple designs that fit the theme.
