I look more rad than Lutheranism

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I was going to pick a Community quote I needed the most in real life, I think that would be it. There are a million applicable ones, but that one is front and centre.
I might need a life upgrade.
"I have the weirdest boner" strikes me as being in second place, but it does bear more examination.
I'm putting Arrested Development on my calendar so I've finished the series for my sister's 40th, as part of her birthday present. I need to work out a reasonable pace, but I'm gonna see how 8 episodes this weekend goes. I know with Community that would be no problem in a day, so I hope this is as good as she raves.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I only watched Arrested Development as it aired, so I don't know how it marathons, but it's fast-paced with a lot of call-backs and just a high density of jokes so I would guess it should work out pretty well. Enjoy!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You've never seen it, ita !? Oh man, you are in for a treat. Yes, marathoning will work really well. There are jokes I only got the second or third time around; the callbacks are insane.

We were hovering on a trade--Community for AD. I had tried before--I'm watching the pilot now, and I'd seen this before, and I had watched the Charlize Theron eps when they aired (which is why I held out so long), and I've only gotten her to watch the paintball ep and one other Community one so far.
But, since I'm a fabulous big sister, here I go...

Yeah, that makes sense. That was not good.

I didn't think the Theron eps were that bad, but, yeah, the first and second seasons are better.
I recommend the unaired pilot, except for one line that I think is actually funnier in the aired version.

I'll definitely be able to exceed the schedule I've planned--this is enjoyable watching, but it's not rocking my world like Community yet (I'm on the fourth episode)--I think it's because the characters who are not Michael or George Michael are so annoying I want them all pimp slapped. Too many Pierces so far. We'll see.
What's interesting is that I feel disconnected from the pulse. I can't tell what lines are the lines. So I'm gonna have to do some time travelling and find recaps to see what fandom grabbed onto.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita, for your t-shirt quote quest, something like "I've made a huge mistake" or "I've made a huge tiny mistake" might work.

Which episode was that in? I did note something like he's my brother and I kind of like him between him and the magician brother.
So much research to do...
