Thanks, Vonnie -- I'd forgotten the translation humor in that scene! What an outstanding example of stage fencing, physical humor and feats, foreign language humor and reaction shots.

Btw, bon, thanks for pimping Archer. This last season was one of the best and funniest I've ever seen on TV. Just incredibly funny and incredibly consistent.

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

Are you kidding? He won't even negotiate with cyborgs.

I finally watched last week's Glee. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that, since they apparently have no idea how show choir competitions actually work, they wouldn't have any idea how Academic Decathlon works, either.

Oh dear. Did they do it like some sort of public quiz show?

That's what everyone thinks Academic Decathlon is!! Except for the Super Quiz, YOU JUST SIT IN A BUNCH OF ROOMS AND TAKE TESTS.
Which doesn't make for good television, of course.

They only used the phrase "Academic Decathlon" once or twice. If they'd just said "quiz bowl" instead, it would have been fine, since the TV quiz show they were on did look a whole lot like the local shows that high school quiz bowl teams compete on all the time.
