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

Just watched the 2-part paintball finale. How did they do it a second time without making it tired? Daaaaaang.

I know! I killed myself laughing when the ice cream cone announced the prize. And they at least addressed why Pierce was still in the group. (I'm not sure it was an adequate explanation, but at least they dealt with it, and integrated it into the plot beautifully.)

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

I was fiddling with my iPod before getting out of my car when I reached home, and I ended up watching almost all of Accounting for Lawyers before I went upstairs.

My whole brain is crying!

My whole brain is crying!

Donald Glover is so good at physical comedy without it being OTT.

Is that the one where they chloroform the guy and then panic? I laughed SO hard at that scene!

Yes! And then Abed's brilliant plan to recover goes so awry...

Donald Glover is so good at physical comedy without it being OTT.

I'm looking at what he's actually doing, and it should be too much, but it's just not.

I also love how automatically they joined the poplockathon, with no discussion, and there was no time spent planning anything--no rehearsals, no procuring of costume, nothing. They just showed up in their shiny jackets and performed casually coordinated numbers. Fuck me.

Oh lord yes. That was hilarious.

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

Dan Harmon even refers to that episode as "Chloroform."

Geez, now I'm going to pack Season 1 of Community when I head to Vegas in a few hours in hopes of converting my fiance's family! (So far, I've shown them the beauty of Better off Ted and The IT Crowd).

Oh, and I got a smartphone for my birthday and my new ringtone is the Parks and Rec theme song! (I'm having waaay to much fun with ringtones and notification sounds!)
