then one directed at a cop would.
Didn't he say he wanted a pack of niggers to rape his girlfriend? He didn't just dip a toe into the racist pond, he waggled his ass around in it.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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

Hookers and blow! Hookers and blow!
I remember reading somewhere that they wanted to shut down production earlier in the season, and as long as Charlie was showing up for work, they could do nothing to declare him unfit for work. And if they shut it down anyway, without him being in breach of his contract, Charlie was going to sue them for breach of contract. I think their hands have been tied, legally, however crazy that may sound.
ETA: Bear in mind I am not a lawyer and I don't really pay attention much to the Charlie saga, but I think that's what I heard.

Ooh, you're right. I was just remembering the incident from a few years ago, not the one from a few months ago. I'm not sure that I've seen him hired for anything since then, but I haven't really been paying attention.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Actually, I'm not sure the one from BBT tonight had to do with Charlie Sheen, now that I read the "uncensored" version (go here [link] and then click "view the censored 333"). It sounds like he's been getting a lot of grief from CBS legal or Standards or whatever.
I just assumed "CENSORED!" was his response to Charlie Sheen, since his real response would have been unprintable. Which is probably true, but I don't think the BBT vanity card had anything to do with that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mel Gibson is working in a movie Jodie Foster's directing, last I heard.
There's apparently been some hand-wringing for a while that the lack of a morals clause on Sheen's contract meant they couldn't fire him as long as he showed up and did his job. Which he apparently did without fail. I imagine calling the show a badly-written tincan is more the proximate cause of any disciplinary/retribution/whatever than anything.
Why do I know this? I don't watch the show and I don't care about Charlie sheen or Chuck Lorre.

Exactly. And it's making me snerk because I just read a very funny fic with that title.

I wish people would stop giving Charlie Sheen a platform.

Yeah, that's who I was talking about. Saying that he gets to be a racist shithead with relatively few ramifications, but Charlie gets fired. However, it's not like Mel had a regular gig.

Don't think it's not on my mind.
God, I want to go up to someone in real life and yell, you know. I hope this wears off before work tomorrow.
