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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Hil!

Never developed a taste for beer.(In fact, I think I drank it once, when visiting Columbia for grad school interviews. Didn't change my opinion of the stuff.)

My alcoholic beverage of choice in college was Fuzzy Navels. Yeah, I like the girly drinks...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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

That would indicate that it was, in fact, compulsory. Was it good?

Was it good?

Generally it's pretty good, yeah. German and Belgian imports, some local stuff from Bell's and Goose Island, and sometimes even home brew.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My poor kitty is still disturbed by the wet carpet and all the stuff that got moved around.

Now to see if the electronics of my violin got soaked....

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

sometimes even home brew.

So this is a repeating compulsory beer meeting?

Huh. Our insanely frequent free box lunches are looking less and less fun by comparison.

Was it Plei who was pointing out how much fun the Rahm Emanuel era could prove to be?

WHEN DONORS OFFER RAHM EMANUEL $5,000 CHECKS, HE HANGS THE FUCK UP ON THEM

RAHM EMANUEL DECLARED HIS ENEMIES "DEAD" WHILE REPEATEDLY STABBING A STEAK KNIFE INTO THE TABLE

RAHM EMANUEL DID NOT FIGHT IN THE ISRAELI ARMY AS RUMORED BUT HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME AT IT IF HE HAD

JOSH LYMAN WOULD NOT EXIST IF NOT FOR RAHM EMANUEL

RAHM EMANUEL TOLD TONY BLAIR: "DON'T FUCK THIS UP"

RAHM EMANUEL TELLS PEOPLE TO FUCK OFF BY SHOWING THEM THE SPACE WHERE HIS RIGHT MIDDLE FINGER USED TO BE

RAHM EMANUEL TOLD BILL CLINTON: "YOU SHOULD HAVE MESSED AROUND WITH A GOYISH GIRL"

And um, unlike Chuck Norris, these are all apparently true.
