Right there with you Frank. I accept that some amount of mayo is necessary for tuna salad and chicken salad, but the only thing I can stand it with separately is pickle loaf.

megan, just out of curiosity, what does your roommate do? I'm looking for a career change anyway, so if there's one that comes with free Kindles, I should consider it.

He does programming for Amazon Search (i.e., he works for one of the many "not-Amazon" companies in Silicon Valley that are actually Amazon but provide enough cover that Amazon has "no business presence" in California). Kindle is actually produced at a sister company in SV.

ETA: This is also the reason I have Amazon Prime for free, which is made of awesome.

Sometimes it involves teaching Emily how to accept drinks from conventioneers

This was quite a new skill for me. Witness my worried, "We're not going to sleep with them, right?" Apparently you don't have to plan to sleep with them to accept a drink!

(Er, obviously accepting a drink doesn't mean you HAVE to sleep with them. I just always thought it would be wrong to accept the drink if I wasn't even considering it.)

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

Mayo with bacon would right the wrongs I have with mayo.

They seem to be rerunning Leverage in closer to the intended order than the previously aired order. Good for them.

Christian Kane is made of awesome. And his hair actually improves over the series, especially after the pilot.

I am righteously impressed by Aldis Hodge's presence at the tender age of 21/22. Or am I just getting old?

They are very consistent with Nate's drinking, BTW. It's all over every episode.

Man, I had something to say that wasn't Leverage-related. But it totally escapes me.

What's pickle loaf? It sounds horrible.

hwæt

So Jon B wrote on his Facebook page, "JonB will celebrate Marti Gras by making gumbo during Lent."

I'm trying to come up with an appropriate jokey response, and so far I've got:

    • "I will celebrate Marti Gras by watching 'Buffy vs. Dracula'."

    • "I will celebrate Marni Gras by singing songs from 'My Fair Lady'"

    • "I, for one, don't consider Marti Noxon to be overweight."

Or am i being too subtle with my humor?

First guy that bought me a drink got laid. And, you know, it wasn't even an alcoholic drink and he didn't pay for it.

I was much younger then.

I'm TiVoing until I get them all and then want to watch them in order (if I like what I see). Should I watch in a different order than how they were aired?

It truly is.

Megan, I've just checked and the first three are in the right order, and then it looks random. Here's the order they should be in:

The Nigerian Job
The Home Coming Job
The Wedding Job
The Snow Job
The Mile High Job
The Two Horse Job
The Miracle Job
The Stork Job
The Bank Shot Job
The Juror #6 Job
The Twelve Step Job
The First David Job
The Second David Job

It's fun TV.

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

I just always thought it would be wrong to accept the drink if I wasn't even considering it.

The whole concept of "buying a woman I just met a drink in the hopes of sleeping with her" has always seemed weird to me. Which is probably why I've never tried it.
