Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Watched the game with Daisy's other cousin- she set the TV up in the courtyard, and we drank Miller Lite and ate meatballs and played with the dogs and watched the game. Gorgeous night out tonight!

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

Notes to self:

  • You broke your candy thermometer. No baking bread until you replace it.
  • Your empty light is on. Leave early to get gas.
  • Go pay your CC bill, FFS.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is the black president in The Event definitively post-Obama, or is he post-24, post-Heroes? Someone on another thread called him an Obama-lookalike, and I just barely didn't say "so we all look the same to you??" because, NO RESEMBLANCE.

To anyone that's seen it--is the character at least similar to Obama to deflect the vibes I'm getting off this comment? Is he like Obama?

He's closer to Obama than to Palmer, but I don't know if that's enough to justify that kind of comment. They've established that his family is from Cuba. Maybe people are taking that as a sideways reference to Obama.

My beets said August. They are demised appropriately.

The Event president is Latino! Can we make a big deal of that? Obama's not claiming a heritage that's much other than a typically black and white bread one. Obama isn't being Kenyan all up in the White House mug. I'm all offended at the poster on the other board.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If you buy more you likely won't have to throw them out until Christmas.

Art Crawl!!!

Difficult to say, if he's like Obama - well, he's black, he's a family man and (I think) that they were in Hawaii. Policy wise - can't tell. And of course, Blair Underwood in no way resembles Obama.

On the other hand, in the timing: post Obama and post Palmer.

Also post the black prez in Heroes and post Freeman in that asteroid movie. Black presidents not hard to come by onscreen.

I know! That's what they seemed to be pointing at in the show.
