There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Do Jews say "Our heavenly Father"?

I can't think of that exact phrasing in English too often, but "our Father" is in a lot of prayers, and "tate in himmel," which means "father in heaven," is used in Yiddish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Notice that I am trying really hard not to focus on the enormous pile of crap the rest of this show (Sue MF Sylvester aside) is trying to shovel at me.

I actually think it's because I hear my Southern Baptist grandfather's voice, not even any of the other Christians I hang out with! Most folks I know don't say Father...

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

Hil, thanks for that. I was kind of stuck on that too.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I thought it started, "life is a mystery..." I can't find a music video version that starts with "Oh heavenly father"- maybe on the album?

Isn't that Madonna's "Like a Prayer"?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

ayup, it sure is. I'm not sure how I misread that. Did my brain go from, "Papa Can You Hear Me?" to "Papa Don't Preach" to "Like a Prayer"? Perhaps I need a little lie down. (needless to say the episode hasn't aired yet out here)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm eh on the episode, but Lea Michelle sang that song beautifully.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, Glee, apparently I can't quite quit you. I thought Chris Colfer's performance was amazing, and they actually handled all the religion stuff with a lot more nuance than I expected, so kudos to them. Some of the stuff Sue said about her sister made me cringe a bit, but eh.
