You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So, today in a class on atomic theory, I mentioned that 2400 years ago Democritus got about 95% of atomic theory correct just by thinking about it, and likened it to Doug Forcett getting most of what happens in the afterlife correct on The Good Place. A lot of students got the reference.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

And no doubt you instantly became their favorite professor! (If you weren't already.)

Until the first exam anyway.

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

That's excellent.

Give a little Ted Dansonstyle malicious chuckle when you hand it out to them!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Give a little Ted Dansonstyle malicious chuckle when you hand it out to them!

I'm afraid that chuckle is beyond the range of mere mortals.

My favorite joke last night was theone about The New Yorker. I was a subscriber at some point when I was in college, figuring it would up my intellectual game or something. After a year all I'd accomplished was to pile up a stack of mostly unread issues along with a bunch of unopened renewal notices.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I still subscribe, and I mostly read them when they come in (even if it's just one story per issue), but the giant stack of New Yorkers as human torture? TRUTH.

Really want a burrito now. Envy optional.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I was a bit huh? at the Supreme Judge being so well versed in current pop culture trivia given that it's been thousands of years since our foursome croaked. But she probably tailors her references to the folks being judged? *handwave* And she has a point - who doesn't see Kyle Chandler and immediately think "Coach Taylor would NEVER."

Both Superstore and The Good Place had Bloodline jokes last night. Maybe they planned it, maybe it's serendipity.

I put my hand over my chest and went UNHHHHH when Eleanor was like, "that's not the Chidi *I* know." And she gave up her Good Place ticket for her friends (totally unselfishly, without even saying anything about it!) Oh Eleanor.
