That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wanted to go up to them and say, "In the name of Vincent Karthieser, cut your hair!"

Ah, first you confuse the college boys and then you POUNCE!

It's all about the misdirection, Trudy.

If I only had a brain...

When did cricketers stop wearing all white except for blazers?

Sob. Another cherished stereotype bites the dust.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You can blame one-day cricket for that; in other words, you can blame Kerry Packer.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

one-day cricket

... and there goes another of those cherished stereotypes

I love it. The original needs a week of uninterrupted good weather - and it was invented in England. Then you get the Reader's Digest version, which needs just one day of sunshine - and it was invented in Australia.

The coffee milk is properly referred to as "Iced Coffee". Although I've never tried yours, the flavour we call "egg nog" probably bears little resemblance to the home-made concoction you call "egg nog".

Hmm. I'm now very curious about the eggnog flavor. And wondering if the coffee flavor is like a bottled frappucino, or what...

Pralines'n'Cream remains my favourite, despite the loveliness of many other flavours, because it weds salt with sweet and gooey with crunchy in a fashion that makes me very, very happy

Ah, but Chubby Hubby has the great combos of ice cream's cool sweetness, with the salty and chewy pretzels, and the sweet chocolate, and the peanutbutter...MMMM.

Yay for the Aussies getting this season! Slowly but surely!

Clearly they're in robes, so clearly they're worshippers of something

The screenplay says "ninja monks".

OK, this is cracking me up, for no special reason. I may have to tag, somehow...

The screenplays (at Pysche's transcripts) are well worth reading, IMHO. I often read them after the episodes, and it's cool.
