I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

If I only had a brain...

Clearly there is no way for me to predict what will happen.

None. In any case, you have far more important jobs to do than worrying about your weight.

(Sorry about the post-weaning bitterness. )

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hey, why don't they make pasties for testacles?

I am staring and staring at this sentence and waiting for it to resolve itself into logic, but to no avail.

I take it that you don't actually mean these ? Because I can't see your average testicle (not to imply that any Buffista menfolk have anything less than magnificent testicles, of course) would have any great need for a pastie.

t puzzled.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

It's inexplicable I know, but in my experience discernable motion in the testicle area when seeking a date isn't such a drawcard as you'd think.

Damn. Well that explains a few things.

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

And if they do, I fervently hope I never hear them communicate their wishes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Okay, now Fay has me laughing, too.

I think this is one of those "two countries separated by the same language" moments. Pasties (different pronounciation) are also the little sparkly tassles that strippers wear to such advantage on their nipples.

No, no, those are pasties made from testicles. Have a little priest.

"Pasties" in American are the things strippers paste over the nipples so as not to offend local decency codes. Leather. Tassels.. Diva Dots.

Really, oscilating bollocks would be off-putting enough; chatty oscilating bollocks would have me dashing for the Tabloids. And of all the conversational gambits they could come up with - one's meat and two veg craving a pastry-based snackfood...it's just not right. No.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Pasties in US usage are sticky (usually round) pieces of fabric that are stuck over the nipples. (See (pretty-much work friendly) picture here.) (That was the first work-friendlyish picture I could think of, and I wasn't sure I was describing them well at all.)

"Meat and two veg"? Now *there's* a euphemism I'd never heard before. Goodness.

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

Hey, why don't they make pasties for testacles?

Because men are too intelligent so put adhesive on the oh so fragile skin covering erectile tissue?
