To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

The bit should be #10 here: [link]

So Uli prattled on and Sam just sat there and looked pretty? Sounds about right to me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Jesse, Are you watching Big Brother?

Because books.

Uli? Uli's name is fun to say and all, but I would much rather see Sam with someone else.

Like ... Harold.

Except perhaps Hung. Especially if Marcel is, indeed, Hung's monkey.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

SYTYCD: I had a hard time watching after Nigel "Birthday Boy" Lithgoe's whine about complaints about the last eliminations. Nigel is really starting to annoy me to the point where it's harder for me to even watch the dancers. Which is stupid and a shame, because I thought the dancers did well.

That synchronized swimming doc on PBS: I kept flipping over to this at the ads. I thought it was kind of hysterical. I know it's hard work, and understand that you have to be dedicated, but these people seemed to have no idea that they were talking about synchronized swimming. That one girl who moved away from family and friends and put in 6 hours a day 6 days a week because she wanted a TeamUSA jacket just made me laugh and cry. I mean, do it because you love it, but because you want a jacket? Whoah. And this was the same one who did her solo to Schindler's List. Yikes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The thought of doing synchronized swimming to Schindler's List makes my brain go huh. Although I once saw a broadcast of a band doing a routine to Philip Glass ... that was kinda surreal.

And just out of curiousity - I missed the documentary - how do you do solo synchronized swimming?

Art Crawl!!!

Yes. That was also my question.

I guess the movements are synchronized with the music.
