I've seen that name spelled Schuyler. . . is it German?

FNLish: Kristin had an interview with Daniel Dae Kim up on the E! website and he is a fan! Apparently, he used to play quarterback in highschool. Anyway, he said something about it being one of the only shows he watches that he can't see himself on. When Kristin pressed him he said he could be the owner of the drycleaner or the liquor store.

Now I want both Ben Browder and DDK on the show.

(I would link -- but there are random spoilery links on the page. Do you guys want a link anyway?)

Schuyler is probably Dutch. Like Schuykill (for Philadelphians)

But isn't Pennsylvania Dutch, actually German?

Okay, you're right. I googled. And I found this amusing bit of PA history:

John Pott's name, it is said, should be correctly pronounced "Putt" so that Pottsville in reality should be Puttsville. He is to be differentiated, too, from the John Potts, an iron master of Quaker descent, who was the founder of the Pottstown and who early owned land on the present site of Pottsville before Pott or "Putt" came here.

Okay, I have no idea what show you guys are talking about at the moment (since y'all don't label it up front, the way we try (sometimes) to do in Boxed Set) but I'm popping in to say I'm from Pottstown, PA, so I'm bewildered to see my onscreen life bouncing up against my real life.

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

It's Jericho, Morgana. And a little topic drift.

Glad to know I'm not pulling non-phonetic spellings out of nowhere

Thanks for the clarification, -t. I don't watch Jericho, so I wouldn't have recognized the names.

Does anyone in here watch The Unit? If so, any guesses as to what the hell Mac is doing? Because it is way the hell too late for him to be getting outraged and trying to grab the moral high ground at this point.

You're from Pottstown? My dad grew up not too far away from there! (Well, his family lived on Potts School Road.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Can I just say, perhaps for the 111th time, I am not okay with George/Izzy? Not at all okay. I'm tired of this shit.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Well, the episode was a little heavy with the "it's baaaad to cheat" messages. Maybe it's over. I can hope!
