I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sounds like a trip to wikipedia.
You should report back after you check. It's had me curious since the ep aired. Well, curious enough to kinda nibble at me but not curious enough to do my own research.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Isn't Mardi Gras this tuesday? I'm confused because IHOP has declared the following tuesday Pancake Day.

Yeah, it's definitely this Tuesday. I've been planning Ash Wednesday things for Catholic Ministries at the hospital, and I'm singing in a service at my church that night.

I thought that Obama vid was interesting...though I think I prefer Fired Up, Ready To Go (based of course on fired up, ready to go.)

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

I hate when TV hits too close to home.

He thinks he gets a morphine shot in this episode, and I'm wondering how he could mistake saline for morphine. I guess part of the point of the ep is that psychosomatic power is strong, but still.

He had it injected into his spine. Not sure where that ranks on the efficacy/rush scale.

Cash, I will totally report back. I'm fascinated by this middle space.

This is where looking at Wikipedia gets me The Bristol Stool Scale. Who knew such a thing existed?

Also, I love the sampler that says "Don't Make Me Cut You". What is wrong with me? I think it's a sign that I should go back to bed.

I don't know, but I like it. I'd be crafty for things like that...

I love the Truthiness one--eagle and american flags and all!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

How nice to wake up to the Obama-vid and subversive cross-stitch. My heart swells with pride!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Actually, I think I'm oddly charmed by the mythos of the whole Manning family.

Here's my question about the Mannings -- did the same two parents really name one son Peyton and one Eli? That makes no sense!! (Which my coworkers did not get at all.)

I'm just afraid of Obama pulling a Carter

That's exactly my fear.
