You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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

Good lord, Scrappy!

Starsky and Hutch is getting weirder and weirder. I wonder which eps the people who wrote the movie leant on. I mean, what is even going on here:

S: [Places excessive order at fast food place] You really think eating nothing for forty hours and drinking a whole lot of water is gonna make you healthier?
H: Yeah! It's not just to make me more healthy--it's to maintain my already fantastic physical condition. It's the natural way, Stars. You ever see an animal in the wild? You ever seen a fat lion? Huh?
S: No….but come to to think of it I never seen a thin hoppipitomus either.
H: Wait'll your order comes back.
[cut to bad guys]

I don't think I've ever heard it called that before.

That's probably a bit of a military way of putting it, but I can't think of another short wayt to say it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yipes, Scrappy!

I mean, what is even going on here:

Uh, bad dialog? Yeah okay, I got nothing.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Yikes, Scrappy! I wish there was some way to make things better, but other than supporting her and the kids as best one can, there's no way to fix it. So sad.

I finally have an appointment with my ENT who did the ear surgery on me. It's been 10 weeks and I'm still wobbly and lightheaded and uncomfortable much of the time. It's beginning to affect my emotional state, and I'm bummed about the entire thing. So hopefully he'll be able to do something or give me some indication that this is going to get better.

I hope he can help soon Consuela

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hope he can help, Consuela. That's a long time to be wobbly.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

How awful, Scrappy.

No fishing off the company pier. No dipping your pen in the company ink.

I need more modern euphemisms.

No shaking the company toner. No leeching off the company wifi. No steaming up the company cubicals. No meshing the company benefit plans. No rumpying the company pumpy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Scrappy. That's terrible.

No leeching off the company wifi.

This one.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This company follows a strict policy of union-busting.

Wow, how horrible Scrappy, it could have been so much worse.

Sad about Bacall. To Have and Have Not was one hell of a movie debut.
