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

Here is the first sentence of a review of the Box Set of The Day the Earth Stood Still on that same blog.

Earth Day detained planned seriously, comment melodramatic artiness and social science fiction TV series as well as external borders of The Twilight Zone.

Do you think the author is actually writing this himself or is he using Google Translate?

I dunno, but I think he (she?) has been sending me spam. Or has been possessed by the ghost of William S. Burroughs.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

PLEASE let it be Google Translate!

Yeah, LN, TDS even did a nice "Goodbye" piece on Rob R on Wednesday (Tuesday?) night. Obviously not a bitter leavetaking -- I hope he has some good stuff lined up.

I know Sam Bee and Jason Jones have a thing coming up, but that tribute was the first I'd heard about Riggle.

Punishingly Intricate

HIMYM: the stuff about Ted and his sister was all pretty cheesy and standard sitcom-y but I loved Marshall and Robin hanging out together. Sweet but not sappy and there were some hilarious moments (the guy from the MN bar carrying the Texas interloper out like a baby made me laugh out loud).

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I didn't get the karaoke song until the very end, and then it was hilarious.

I thought that the "fake sex" thing was stupid.

Yeah that was stupid. I didn't like the sister either. Givent that it's this show though, I'm afraid she's going to keep coming back.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Is that the same sister who came to visit before, or was that a different sister? Or am I wrong completely? (I remember something vague about going to the Empire State Building...)

ION, I laughed at the end of last night's Big Bang Theory so hard I almost choked to death. Good times.

well, why go through all of the hassle about the lease if we're not going to see her again? I forsee a stupid storyline about her trying to sleep with Barney because he won't and Barney trying to "stay strong"

I think it's supposed to be. The sister in that one was much younger, I thought. But, who knows how time runs on this series.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That was Robin's sister, not Ted's, wasn't it?
