How annoying would it be to actually get a pony for your birthday? Especially one that might have just crapped in your office?
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The ER storyline about cochlear implants that I remember was when Benton and Carla were deciding whether or not Reese should get the implant, and ultimately decided not to. I stopped watching ER a few seasons before the end, though -- was there another plotline later on where someone implanted one against the parent's wishes?

Which is probably WHY he did it. He's kind of subversive like that.

That would be one of the things that would make me not like him. I see him as playful and subversive, but giving someone a pony unexpectedly is hella rude.

Anyone watching Criminal Minds? Alex O'Loughlin from Moonlight is guesting as a creepy scary killer with OCD tendencies.
He's extremely unnerving.

yeah, but the OCD thing didn't ring true for me. A guy who cuts his sandwich in perfect squares isn't going to drink from the milk carton. The guy who would lay out his clothes in perfect layers wouldn't go to the door with an untucked shirt.

What happens to OCD people when they snap? I thought that's what the milk carton was supposed to represent, but perhaps they get more OCD, not less.
I dunno.

Monk became a crazy person and was committed in Season 2 wasn't he?
Oh, you mean that isn't true to life?

That's how I took it-- as far as potential snappage, I suppose it's one of those things that varies from case to case.
