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!

I missed the first twenty minutes or so - was McSteamy lying when he said he slept with someone?

Also, he needs a haircut.

I still want my Addison-McSteamy-Callie-Karev-Bailey spinoff. The rest of them are boring me to tears.

He saw Addison and Karev's exit from the on-call room and figured out what happened. He lied about cheating. He really wanted her. she just didn't want him. I'm not sure who he was letting off the hook.

Ah. That's kind of what I thought. Poor woobie man-whore.
