You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Thank you Barney, for being so insufferably smug in the first two minutes of the show that you made the choice between watching HIMYM and To Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar for me.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

"When are you gonna stop making Cylon toast?"

"When I have enough to destroy all the human toast on the Battlestar known as Galactica."

Visual jokes that only geeks will get. Once again, I adore The Big Bang Theory.

Yay, it's real!

Oh, that's too cool!

And now I have to go on and on about wanting to be able to make Cylon toast, until The Girl gives in and buys me that for Colonial Day Christmas.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I couldn't get past nit-picking the kite-fighting details.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OMG - PBS (or at least my affiliate) is showing Bill Cosby receiving the Mark Twain award for storytelling, and it's just reminding me so much why his comedy records from the 60s were so damn formative for me. Plus, footage of him doing some of his classic bits in a variety of contexts (including the Noah bit on the Jack Paar show - he's SOOO young there!).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Thank you Frank - now I have something to watch instead of Glee. Stupid baseball.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I saw Cosby live last year--I was nearly crying I was laughing so hard! He went completely improv for the first 15-20 minutes of his performance when he started chatting with the backstage guy who brought him some water and found some terrific hilarity in this man's life story.
