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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They say you can't con an honest man. But you can rob him, so what's the deal?
Watching Hustle, as if you can't tell. Grifters with a heart of gold and all that. I like the show, and I don't mind cheering for les than spotless antagonists. But I swear last season they said they didn't steal, yet just this last ep I watched they robbed a clothing store without blinking. Don't get the air of moral superiority they keep putting forth.

hip deep in pie
Overheard on another thread:
Here's something nice, this movie Waitress...sent out this note today saying they are doing something called "Random Acts of Pie-ness" where there will be trucks in NY, Chicago, SF, Miami, Philly, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, and DC all weekend handing out slices of free pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Was that the Vegas one? I couldn't pay attention because I couldn't get past them getting hired to work in casinos -- I've watched too much CSI not to believe that everyone who works in any capacity is fingerprinted in a master database.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I often don't understand the fine distinctions they make on Hustle between stealing and grifting.
I mean, how is it not stealing to lift someone's wallet on the street? And they do that all the time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mostly, I think they're lying to themselves to make themselves feel better. They're CLEVER! Not common thieves!
Crap. Even though I had a big lunch pretty late, now I want dinner. But enough to get/make it? Unclear.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think they were better about maintaining the distinction first season, but even then they kept hustling Eddie out of drinks/their bar tab, which was basically the same thing.
I liked this season quite a bit more than I thought I would with Mickey gone, but there were definitely more things that bugged than there were last season.

move out and draw fire
I just saw a (white Euro-descent) elderly female Buddhist monk somewhere. Now I can't remember where. She was bald and wearing saffron robes, and smiled at Mal.
I'm thinking the knees may be a problem with all the kneeling.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
oh crap. I have a terrible growing crush on my neighbor. He's a writer, playwrite, teacher, 43, sexy, divorced, and came by to give me an iced latte this morning and sat outside talking to me for a few hours.
This is NOT GOOD. This must immediately stop.
Quick, someone say something disturbing.

You could just kneel down and then stay there like that. No problem.
