Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Does it sound like it belongs on The Magnetic Fields 69 Love songs to anyone else?

Everything makes so much more sense now. Thank you!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

all caught up on terriers and loving it. 2 questions: what was hank using the credit card numbers *for*, and what is a "javelin man"?

Hank was buying porn, renting hotel rooms and generally doing stuff to get ex's new fiancee in trouble, plus costing ex's fiancee money.

Question: did the latest episode I missed (the amnesia one) advance the arc any, or was it a standalone that can be seen out of order?

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

If I'm remembering everything correctly (and that's not guaranteed), the episode didn't make any movements in the "oops, they accidentally killed someone" storyline. It did beautifully add more depth to Hank and Steph's relationship and we saw Britt and...Katie, I think her name is?... continue to deal with the fallout of Katie's drunken karaoke night, even though he doesn't know that's what's happening.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

and what is a "javelin man"?

I feel fairly confident that that's a mistranscription and should be "travelin' man".

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.

Here's the lyrics from Robert Duncan's site. Definitely "javelin man" -- I'm not sure what a javelin man is, like the song though

Those lyrics make no sense. Hallucinatory, Fever dream - the kind you get in a certain type of acid rock, only set to a surf-rock melody. (The lyrics dance at the edge of sense. You can tease partial meanings out of them.)

I don't care what his site says. I'm still going with "travelin'".

In the absence of an explanation as to why "Javelin" works better, I'm with you.
