You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It makes sense he'd have more chemistry with his future wife. Did you get to the very secial episode with very special guest Tom Hanks yet?

That episode was pretty awesome. I loved the job interview.

Why doesn't it ever work that way with Tom Cruise?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Louie, I am disappoint.

Why show him waiting at Grand Central, then an approaching new 2 train (doesn't go to Grand Central), then him sitting on an old N/R train? Why???

Otherwise, we're still good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That was to divorce the subway ride from any particular trip and make it all rides on all trains, from all destinations, going anywhere.

Not for any sort of expediency wrt production, I'm sure.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just started watching Parks and Recreation. The pilot was...okay. But I know the first season is meh and the second season is when it gets good. Right now it's like, hey, we're a mockumentary, that means we are automatically funny, right? ...Right?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought the first season was quite good. It obviously improved, but I don't understand your complaint. It's not like Greg Daniels and Mike Schur forgot what comedy was for half a season, and then got hit on the head to make the best comedy on television shortly thereafter. But no, I do not think they assumed the format would make it automatically funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's Spoilage Lite material, DavidS.
