Now tagless for your comfort.

Is that the EW list, sumi? Because Firefly is conspicuously absent.

Does anyone use Credo Mobile? They will buy out contracts so I thought I might switch.

Art Crawl!!!

I think so, but Drive is on it and so is Wonderfalls - also Angel.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

John Slattery in one of the best roles ever.

OHMYFREAKINGGOD

Yes, I only just made that connection. Damn, I haven't thought about that show in forever and it was one of the best.

Blond in my book. Not sure what strawberry means.

Strawberry = reddish blond, or blondish red. He looks like a pale blond with a lot of warmth in the color, going more gingery as he ages, but I'd still file him just this side of what I think of as strawberry blond.

Damn you, wee Megan!

I have been called many things, never wee.

I was very popular my last semester in college, because I was legally 21 and could buy the booze.

I was very popular in my prep school because my passport said I was born three years earlier than I was and I kept getting grandfathered in as the drinking age rose.

High school – Vodka and orange juice
College – Gin and tonics, mostly, but wine coolers in the school pub because the drinking age was 18 for beer and wine and 21 for hard liquor in DC (so they only served what most of the people could drink).

Megan, its like Twinkies for grown-ups...

Um, you remember I had to be force fed a Twinkie in college because I had never had one as a kid right?

Speaking of which, I knew a guy my sophomore year who tried to make a project of getting me to drink beer, starting with high-end stuff (or what we thought was high end) and working down to Milwaukee's Best. I think I stopped at Beck's.

“Not dead yet!”

Damn, I haven't thought about that show in forever and it was one of the best.

It was genuinely remarkable-- it was one of the few shows that didn't just focus on the young, pretty kids having their romances, but showed honest-to-goodness grown-up relationships and at how love evolves within the scope of a long relationship, good and bad, and at having to have childish illusions destroyed in order to see your parents as real, living, breathing adults who have feelings and emotions and aren't ready to be put into cold storage just because their kids are the ones experiencing love for the first time.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

sniff ... there were a lot of shows that got cut off too early (and, yes, Firefly is conspicuously absent). Do they have a list of shows that went on waaaaay too long?

And why is Angel on that list? It had five seasons.

I definitely wish some of those shows had longer runs ( Arrested Development and Veronica Mars for sure), but the only ones that crushed me were Wonderfalls and Boomtown, especially Boomtown. I was so invested in those characters.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Profit should have been on that list too. Mmmmmmmm. Profit.

I just had to go to a meeting in which I had to mingle and drink beer.

Well, the beer-drinking was not compulsory, but it was free and right there.
