If I understand correctly, Mandvi is actually in BOTH Avatar movies, which is something of a bizarre hat trick.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Dana - I know right. I've been a big fan of hers since Sideshow and was kinda freaked out by her screaming last night.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm still a little put off about the musical itself. Her speech didn't help. But I'm also a little curious.

In Britain, this cold fact led to the rise of series such as Goodness Gracious Me
P-C, I don't think he did that show, but he's saying how the influence of Indians/South Asians in the British culture has been around for much longer than it has in the US, leading to shows such as GGM.
I love that he referenced Dave Allen--I grew up watching him on the local PBS station, and loved his show.
ETA: I lied. I reread the article, and it looks like they're comparing GGM to his standup act as both being original material written by Indian performers.
ETA2: Oooh, he was Ali Hakam in Trevor Nunn's Oklahoma! I'll have to pull out my tape of that show and watch him (I only recorded it for the Hugh Jackman factor).

Compassionately intolerant
Oh, lord, I could lose hours in erinaceous's new project. The first word I checked was quincunx. What was your first word?
Me too! I first looked up 'ecumenical'. I have absolutely no idea why it came to mind, but the results were cool.

Whoa, I did splendiferous and it picked up two Tweets using the word in the past hour! Huh.
I did recession for the statistics. There's a bubble in the late 1940s and a giant A-bomb right now.

I plugged in slumgullion, that bane of my childhood, the "dish" that my mother made with ground beef, stewed tomatoes, and macaroni (I shudder just typing it), and discovered that it dates back by name to the Civil War. A) I'm impressed that it's there and the information, but B) I'm more highly impressed that 4 other people have looked that word up. I wonder how many of them were forced to eat that stuff as kids.
(I shouldn't bitch, it's what you eat when there's not much in the cabinet, and Mother grew up poor and she probably learned it from her mother, but still. I'm sorry, Mother, but your cooking was not the stuff dreams of home cooking are made of. At least not to this veggie-hating, picky, supertaster kid.)
