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

Matt,

have you heard about the man who is being hunted by the LAPD - allegedly killing the daughter and future son-in-law of a LA cop, killing another cop, and injuring two other cops -

Charlie Sheen put out a video asking the guy to contact him and turn himself in to him. He would escort him to the police.

So, Charlie Sheen is unpredictable, not really a nice person, but I guess he is trying.

Always Anti-fascist!

That would only work in a movie, though, not real life. But at least CS craziness might accomplish something?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It may also accomplish Charlie Sheen getting shot down by someone with even less self-control and stability than he has. I hope for everyone's sake that the authorities are the ones to make first contact with the guy.

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

But CS is trying to get it to work in real life!

Is that the part of the crazy? Because things are so crazy, I'm not quite sure.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I hope for everyone's sake that the authorities are the ones to make first contact with the guy.

The LAPD has made it clear that they’re going to shoot him on sight, and they’ve also shown that they’re not very discriminate about whether or not they’re shooting the right guy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It's really insane. They've shot three people already. [link]

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

I've always felt like Sheldon was written less sympathetically than Jim Parsons manages to play him, and some of what Lee is talking about are symptoms or manifestations of that.

Incidentally, I don't think any of that needs to be whitefonted in here.

Because books.

I caught the first episode in syndication last week, and it was startling to remember how much more socially aware Sheldon was when the series started. I feel like what happened with Phoebe on Friends happened with him -- they took a fun, quirky, but realistic character and shaved off everything but the quirks.

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

I feel like what happened with Phoebe on Friends happened with him -- they took a fun, quirky, but realistic character and shaved off everything but the quirks.

I find that's quite common in sitcoms that stay on the air for any length of time. (Married with Children is where I first noticed it.)

Well, Friends did the same with Ross, more or less. He was very caricatured by the time the show ended.

But Sheldon and Penny haven't really been pigeonholed that way.
