Pajiba

I watched the first five seasons of 24, but I still can't bring myself to rent season 6, despite my undying love for the badassery that is Jack Bauer. And I had no interest in the movie either...until this: Robert Carlyle has been cast.

God damn it. Now I might have to catch up on the other seasons, because I love me some Begbie.

Will Forte, Maria Bamford

I read that as Wilford Brimley and had an unpleasant flashback to the Brett Michaels from Poison moustache ride.

I want Lena Headey and Summer Glau to strip me down, handcuff me to an iron bedpost, and get the truth out of me, no matter what. If they want to invite Jack Baugher for a four-on-the-floor-gasm, who am I to argue?

[clears throat]

[adjusts cuffs]

[deep breath]

FUCK FOX!!!

FUUUUUUUCK THEEEEEM!

[wipes thin trickle of blood from upper lip]

[departs]

I'm all for apoplexy, but does anyone know exactly what's upsetting her?

Course it could just be a constant simmer that occasionally makes the lid pop up.

There is one thing and one thing only that could interest me in Dollhouse, and that is the presence of Karl "Helo" Agathon, or rather Tahmoh Penikett. He is my TV husband. The rest of the trailer did nothing to wow me, unfortunately.

Why would fanboys be wearing panties? That's what girls wear. Oh, I see, because boys who are geeks are analogous to women, which is insulting because who wants to be like a woman, right?

Lame.

I wear Lena Headey's panties because it makes me feel pretty. I bought them on E-Bay from a guy who swears she had them on during shooting 300.

the show is about Feds investigating mysterious things, with elements of terror, sci-fi, Joshua Jackson and dramatic thrills thrown into the mix
Hmmm. I liked that show better when it was called The X-Files. Good for Joshua Jackson on finding employment, though. I always liked Pacey.

Didn't we lay Joshua Jackson to rest? Is he the newest addition to TK's zombie hoard?

"Boldly Going Nowhere (the spaceship show from the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" gang).

I need more information Seth or I will eat your babies, bitch.

Season finale of Bones tonight - hooray! Glad it is coming back - I think it is terrific and I love the Emily Deschanel/David Boreanaz chemistry! You should check it out Seth!!!!

words that I never would've thought you'd ever see me typing, but here you go: I'm actually quite happy with the fact that Brian Austin Green has been made a full-time cast member

I believe when I heard that David Silver was going to be on Terminator, I started laughing so hard I think I cried. However, I am pleasantly surprised and also impressed that he has removed that horrendous haircut from 90210 and is rather nice to look at now.

Can anyone explain to me when Prison Break actually last made sense?

24 owes me 24 hours of my life for the tar pit of suck that was day 6. Will Chloe be back on the next season? Please tell me that Spawn will not be returning.

I will give Dollhouse a shot and possibly Fringe, but the last one only for Joshua Jackson.

socalled I would wear Lena Headey's panties because they'd make me feel kick-ass. Like a Wonder Woman costume.

Some phrases just get my hackles up more than others.

not exactly on topic here (and probably would have been more appropriate in the ABC round-up), but I just have to share

Sports Night is getting a 10 year anniversary Special Edition DVD release!!!!!!

http://www.homemediamagazine.com/news/html/breaking_article.cfm?sec_id=2&&article_ID=12771

you cannot imagine how happy this makes me

like I am doing happy dances in my office and grinning like a fuckin Cheshire Cat

When I first saw one of the teasers out for Dollhouse I was less than trilled, for some reason if I see eliza dushku talking without any bitchy attitude I feel she's in Tru Calling all over again, probably one of the worse shows ever. Anyhow I share the love for bones, I think it got way better in season 3, the chemistry is great and David Boreanaz is aging pretty damn great and Emily Deschanel is freaking adorable, I would kill for those family genes. But next season is so gonna be the last season. Few shows survive the Friday night time slot

""Secret Millionaire" will show us what happens when very rich people descend into the depths of poverty, working for minimum wage, mixing it up with the homeless, etc."

See, now, these are the things that make me want to kill everyone in the room. In the building.

In the world.

I fucking hate you Fox. I hope you die slowly and painfully and rot through eternal suffering in a tortuously vile Hell.

Suck it.

oh yeah of course forgot to finish the dollhouse comment by saying that all considered it looks like a worn out idea the show looks damn good and I never doubt The Whedon. And the Sarah Connor Chronicles has me watching just because it's damn terminator, but that scene in the last episode with "with a man comes around" got me thinking the show might have more potential, as long as the stop having Summer Glau playing a robotic version of RainMan.

Julie -- Please don't eat my babies. The nonexistent little suckers would probably just give you indigestion. "Boldly Going Nowhere" is a comedy pilot Fox has ordered from Rob, Charlie and Glenn who, as I assume you know, are responsible for "It's Always Sunny." The show is going to be shooting this fall, after they wrap up putting the Fourth Season of "Sunny" together. Not much is known about it at this point, aside from the fact that it'll be a one-camera comedy set on a spaceship between missions. Fox has also ordered some additional scripts, so if it remotely digs the pilot, it's very likely the show would get at least a mini-episode order.

Genny/Rusty -- Uhm, whatever. I'm a well-admitted geek, and my comment wasn't intended to be some bullshit anti-geek or anti-girl insult. Rather, I wanted a simple way to refer to uber-excitement and wet panties came to mind because I always go for the lowest common denominator. I'm simple like that. That I was referring to fanBOYS (which, in my mind, includes girls anyway) wasn't even the fucking point. So quit getting your panties in a bunch.

...Women, sheesh.

Eliza Dushku? Yes, please. Top 5.

Abbadon and Pacey? Sold.

Nice try, TK...but I've been actively wishing for FOX's death for years to no avail. I think that not having a heart is actually helping defend them.

I'll watch Dollhouse, simply because I'm contractually obligated to check out anything Joss tries his hand at...But everything else except for Terminator looks pretty damn meh...bordering on "insane rage-inducing". I'm glad I have massive DVD collection.

"Boldly Going Nowhere (the spaceship show from the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" gang).

I need more information Seth or I will eat your babies, bitch.

Nobody knows. He mentioned it in a TV roundup a few months ago and it's been radio silence since then. The premise sounds like the kind of thing that could be mined for at least five seasons of prime entertainment. Hell, I loved Red Dwarf so anything about losers in space makes me happy.

Also, no U.S. Spaced? THANK YOU. SOMEONE HEARD MY PRAYERS AND OCCASIONAL HUMAN SACRIFICES.

I am watching Black Books now. It is very good. Thank you to everyone who told me it was on DVD.

P.S. HBO should produce 'Ex Machina' as a limited-run show. Absolutely.

"Secret Millionaire" will show us what happens when very rich people descend into the depths of poverty, working for minimum wage, mixing it up with the homeless, etc.

Yeah, when you're ripping off Morgan Spurlock for ideas, you've hit the last rung before bottom.

Yes, it's gratuitous Spurlock-bashing on a Monday morning.

K-Ville has finally died? Sweet!!!

Piece of shit with crap accents as if people in New Orleans talk like they're from Georgia and throw gumbo parties (which ppl have started doing but it's like a drinking party and they take bets on stupid shit in the show). I remember hearing that in one episode someone said they were going home to make a shrimp poboy. NOBODY MAKES THEM AT HOME!!! You buy them for $5 on the corner at the store.

Okay, I'm calming down. Glad it's all dead and stuff.

I'm glad I have a massive DVD collection.

... let it lie, twig. Let it lie.

Seth, here's the thing; the phrase "sopping wet panties" to convey "excitement" is to me what pie is to Sarina. I don't believe in it, and my reaction to it is generally considered ridiculous by most people. However, it's just one of those things with me that will always ALWAYS get me in a mood.

Sorry I called your joke lame. To be fair, "raging hard on" would have worked almost as well while still aiming for that lowest common denominator.

Hee-thanks Seth! I will be watching, since I would happily follow my Sunny boys to hell if necessary. Anyone have an inner tube I can use to cross the River Styx?

Why would I want to spend my time watching any of the big three networks, when I can just as easily watch some fucking on cable?

twig...are you trying to say something about my massively large dvds?

I'll watch Dollhouse, simply because I'm contractually obligated to check out anything Joss tries his hand at...

Me too. Joss Whedon could create a show about clowns who sit around coming up with the wittiest personalized license plate combinations while eating ham and watching the Dallas Cowboys.

Note: these are all things I hate.

Seth, here's the thing; the phrase "sopping wet panties" to convey "excitement" is to me what pie is to Sarina. I don't believe in it, and my reaction to it is generally considered ridiculous by most people.

Note to self: The next time some asshole gets all uppity about pie and not believing in it, tell them pie is like other people's wet panties.

That might be the most eloquent Pookie has ever been. Thanks, Pookster.

twig...are you trying to say something about my massively large dvds?

Well, we are in the wet panties thread. Massively large DVD's -- would those be laserdiscs?

Joss Whedon could create a show about clowns who sit around coming up with the wittiest personalized license plate combinations while eating ham and watching the Dallas Cowboys.

I would so buy the DVD set. And the spinoff comic.

Hey, speaking of personalised license plates, Julie, you will LOVE this one. I saw the following disasters all happening to the same vehicle this past Saturday:

1. GIGANTIC, pink light-up rims.
2. Spoiler so big it looked like a hook used to hang the car on the garage wall.
3. Driver: Male, wearing sideways white baseball cap, seat reclined so far back he looked like he was in a dentist's chair.
4. Model of car: Ford Focus.
5. Colour: Pansy Purple.
6. Windows down, stereo blasting Hannah Montana.
7. Vanity plate: "I R HARDR".

This car was on 35E, in the left lane going about 40 (the speed limit there is 70) with his right blinker on for no apparent reason. I should have rear-ended him into next week on principle, but I had shit to do so I didn't have time to act in the public's best interest.

I mean, "Family Guy" is barely funny anymore...

Was it ever?

Amy Acker is also in the cast of Dollhouse. Squeeee!!!!111
Two of the 3 hottest women from the Buffyverse...

"A gruff, sarcastic but lovable judge?"

Are you fucking shitting me? So the premise for new shows is to franchise the House character to as many other professions as possible and we'll love it? Hey, let's put an English man who can do a passable US accent in the lead. Anyone want to join me on the "Stop Fucking Patronizing Me" angry villagers' march on Fox with torches and cudgels?

3. Driver: Male, wearing sideways white baseball cap, seat reclined so far back he looked like he was in a dentist's chair.

Hate.

This car was on 35E, in the left lane going about 40 (the speed limit there is 70)

HAAAAAAATE. Those people deserve to be beaten to death with the speed limit sign. I'm a pretty calm and patient person, but put me on I95 behind one of these ubertwats and I start screaming.

Best (terrible) personalized license plate EVER: JC DYD4U. My best friend Jay saw it on the way to my sister's wedding and chased the car so he could take a picture of it for me.

"Secret Millionaire" will show us what happens when very rich people descend into the depths of poverty, working for minimum wage, mixing it up with the homeless, etc

Is the selection of contestants based on a bet between two Chicago commodities trading brothers?

tell them pie is like other people's wet panties

I believe the correct Pajiba phrasing is "moist panties."

franchise the House character to as many other professions as possible

I think they should do a gruff, sarcastic but lovable pedophile. All the neighborhood kids are clamoring to be selected for his windowless van, and he's ornery with them to teach them a lesson, but deep down he loves them. Emotionally, I mean. Also, physically. After the taste and discretion Fox showed with "Temptation Island" and "Joe Millionaire," I'm sure they can pull this off.

Twig Glad you're enjoying "Black Books." Certainly not your usual Barnes & Noble experience

Best (terrible) personalized license plate EVER: JC DYD4U

Love. It. One night the missus and I were stumbling home from our local watering hole, and right smack in the middle of San Francisco we saw a car parallel parked bearing the plate "OBEY GOD" or some similar nonsense. This was roughly akin to finding a shrine to the Virgin Mary in Baghdad.

We hunted up a paper bag and a beer bottle across the street, and I laid on the asphalt against the back of the car with one arm draped across the bumper over the plate and the other hand clutching the bottle neck against my chest. Mrs. socalled took pics with her cell phone. I wish we could have left one for the driver, but by the time I got back from our house the car was gone.

This activity constitutes "hijinks" 'round these parts of a Saturday night.

I believe the correct Pajiba phrasing is "moist panties."

I don't believe in the word "moist". That word was coined in a hell where Yoda and Sigmund Freud re-enact porn movies on Dagobah.

That word was coined in a hell where Yoda and Sigmund Freud re-enact porn movies on Dagobah

Or a heaven where leprechauns and quaint Irish villagers dance around your living room singing "Danny Boy." One Pajiban's hell ....

Socalled:

We're on the same page. I was thinking gruff but lovable interrogator at Abu Ghraib (who plays saxophone as a hobby). His three side kicks (handsome male, cute female, black guy) try to reason with him on the more extreme methods, but darn if he doesn't turn out to be right every time and get the confession. And the detainee of the week is always so happy to get that burden off his chest. His OC is a useless administrator type who wears standard army-issue low cut bluses and tight shimmy skirts. In the second season, he has to pick from a group of new recruits: hilarity ensues. In fact, I'm pitching it to Fox next week.

I have actually decided that all I really want out of this NFL season is the inevitable breakdown of Tony Romo after a few months of listening to Jerry, TO, and Pacman Jones. If Randy Moss were in Dallas, I would obviously expect this to happen much sooner.

Socalled:

In the second (or maybe third) season of The Sopranos, Christopher describes that exact scene when he's talking about his near-death experience when he thought he had ended up in hell: it was eternally Saint Patrick's Day and he was locked in a bar with a bunch of Micks singing Danny Boy.

I knew "moist" was someone's hot button but couldn't remember who. That was you too, Sarina?

My dvd tower leans to the left.

His OC is a useless administrator type who wears standard army-issue low cut bluses and tight shimmy skirts.

And she's constantly harping at him about the stoopid Geneva Convention and the Constitution, always putting process over substance. Dumb managers! I'm trying to save these people, dammit!

locked in a bar with a bunch of Micks singing Danny Boy

And Sarina dancing slowly with Ned Devine, forever and ever.

So, Paddy, I take it your succession of crappy, Pajiba-preventing workweeks subsided, as mine did?

Or a heaven where leprechauns and quaint Irish villagers dance around your living room singing "Danny Boy."

I will never be afraid of 'Danny Boy' after the Muppets did it.

I knew "moist" was someone's hot button but couldn't remember who. That was you too, Sarina?

No, it wasn't me. I am not at all fond of the word, but this is the first time I've said so around these parts.

all I really want out of this NFL season is the inevitable breakdown of Tony Romo

Well, he's almost certainly already got herpes, so he's off to a rollicking start.

Jay, I finally had to remove your photo from my desktop. We finally got another look at Man With Chicken Standing on His Head (on Market Street, viewed from the F Train) during the swelter here last week, and I got a decent shot with the cell phone, so that's the background now.

I am not at all fond of the word

Damn, I would have guessed Sarina, too. It was from that Comment Diversion about least favorite words, which must have been a year ago by now.

Socalled:

Yup. It's been so frustrating having to put the paying clients first. I've been barely hanging in here for the past few weeks. I see my matriarchal status ebbing away.

This is a recurring thing? I saw Poopdeck Pappy at the St. Patrick's Day parade, but I did not see any Chickenhead on Market St.

Obviously I need to visit again and correct this.

JJ, just please don't lead us down some twisty road that at first seems to get more interesting at every turn, but then begins to get dark, confusing, and overpopulated with too many woodland creatures...only to leave us utterly lost, hungry, unsatisfied and furious by the time we find our way out again. Regardless, I will - of course - be sucked in by The Fringe.

And if my panties are wet, it's because I too am happy about BAG. He managed to bring Terminator TSCC that little extra thrust I needed.

Well, he's almost certainly already got herpes, so he's off to a rollicking start.

Hopefully some lesser known side effects of Valtrex include bleeding from the eyes, exploding kneecap, and ball-fumbling (my lord how I want to make a joke about my Friday nights...oh look, there it is).

Thank you TK, your praise is what I seek. Just knowing that you are on my side gives me the strength to continue my Jihad against the forces that are lined up against me.

Chickenhead on Market St

Stocky black fellow, medium 'fro, long shorts and a huge t-shirt, standing on Market near the Warfield talking to some other guys, and ... wait for it ... a pristine white hen, probably an eight-pounder, standing smack on top of his head, as still and calm as could be, but we did see the chicken move slightly as the guy was moving his arms and talking.

We saw Chicken Guy once about a year ago, then again last week on the way to dinner, both times from the F Train. I was beside myself with joy, because we had started to believe the first time was a mirage, and we both saw it both times, so either it really happened or we're drinking the same tainted absinthe.

And either way, we're both winners.

Holy crap...a year ago? Have I been tormenting people with that word for that long?

Hehe...moist...

.... turgid bratwurst.

I don't understand people's aversion to moist. I like that word. It makes everything sound dirty.

Okay, it was October 1. It seems like a long time ago.

Anyway, every third person selected "moist" as his or her least favorite word, including ... TK! Of those, several noted "moist panties" as their least favorite expression.

Who doesn't love moist panties? Criminy.

My dvd tower leans to the left.

I love you, Jay.

STOP TYPING THAT WORD!!!!!!

I gag every time that I read/hear it. Seriously. One year I threw up on Thanksgiving because someone used that godawful adjective to describe the turkey. I actually got up, went to the bathroom, and barfed.

So cut the shit.

Hey everybody! I'm a longtime lurker and first time commenter! Looks like you guys are a little "naughty" around these parts! I'm game! Are there any hotties around here looking to hook up?

Nope, we're all cockteases.

Hells to tha'yeah, Sleazy!! Yo wasuup? So there allot of freaky peeps up here? Did anybody catch the Real World Hollywood this weekend? That shit was off the hook!!
WHeres everybody pictures at? Any hard bodys?

Wait. Did the spambot just...evolve?

The Spambot is a Cylon! RUN!!!

Or it's one of Skitt's multiple personalities.

Except TK.

Hey everybody! I'm a longtime lurker and first time commenter! Looks like you guys are a little "naughty" around these parts! I'm game! Are there any hotties around here looking to hook up?

wow...didn't see that coming....

Nope, we're all cockteases.

did see that coming however
least the newly eveolved spambot/crazy person has been set strait now

Sherminator

hee hee hee

I'm quite offended that you'd associate me with that breed of riff-raff Julie. I thought better of...

...yeah, it was me. Slow day. I was gonna have Sherminator XXX choke on a chicken wing while talking dirty to Sleazy Mcdroopybritches, who in turn, would call for help from the regular commenters (because her cell phone was dead), and she'd (i.e. me) give directions to Sherm's joint (i.e. my work), where I'd knock a fellow Pajiban out and take his/her cash so I could get something to eat. I left my wallet at home and some idiot cleaned out under the vending machine...

Like I said... slow day.

"Thank you TK, your praise is what I seek."

You got it, Pook-O-Matic. Regardless of what your particular weekly pathos may be, I've always got your back.

As for the rest of you lot... laugh while you can, monkey boy. Someday the SpamBot will fully evolve. And he will take over this place and consume our souls. Already, we fight him behind these digital scenes, trying to keep him from devouring us all. If only you knew the things we have seen...

[shudder]

...it's almost too much to bear.

wow Skitt, that is a pretty elaborate, crazy and diabolical plan to get some change that you could just as easily swipe from a co-workers desk when they weren't looking

I like the way you think...

Hey everybody! I'm a longtime lurker and first time commenter! Looks like you guys are a little "naughty" around these parts! I'm game! Are there any hotties around here looking to hook up?

Of course! Everyone here is hot beyond your wildest dreams, and we've all been here trying to write sexually connotative posts in the hopes that someone just like you would stop in. Now we're ripping off our clothes and writing directions to our homes in between performing lewd acts upon - well, whomever shows up.

Hee...normally I would assume that the Spambot was simply overstimulated from Viagra and a Cathouse marathon, but Sherminator XXX sounded just too Skittiliscious.

Moist is my favorite word ever. Just saying it makes me moist. Nothing is moister than a moist and delicious snack to make me feel moist.

MMMMMMMMOIST!

Aaagghhh-kkkcchhh, puh! Uh-guhck-uggle-uggle-uggle-uggle-uggle-uggle-gurk-bwuh-gack. Puh.

Pathos? Is that some of that gay french speak? Listen I ain't got nothing against man love. But I'm not a part of that kinda stuff. If one man wants to put his man love on another man then that's between them, but I like the ladies.

Goodness, you poor thing, Nicole. I didn't mean for it to be quite so bad.

May I offer you something to wipe your brow?

Perhaps a moist towlette? This one is extra-moist.

Holy shit, y'all. This has nothing to do with anything, but some of you will die laughing at this irony:

I have to bake a pie.

I know, right? But one of the old biddies at my work lives on a farm, and she brought in some rhubarb, and apparently there's some kind of demented consensus that I am capable of producing delicious pie. How in the hell this conclusion was reached I will never know, as it's certainly no secret that I think pie is the edible embodiment of the devil.

So anyway, uhhh....anybody know how to make rhubarb pie? Do you cook the rhubarb? Apparently there are also supposed to be strawberries involved. But you don't cook the strawberries, right? Because that's revolting. Ugh. Jesus, I'm grossing myself out even thinking about this. I'm afraid to Google recipes, because I might vomit all over my desk.

I have to bake a pie.
Posted by: Sarina at May 19, 2008 3:42 PM

I think the Godtopus' oceanic heaven just froze over and became a skating rink for the Satanslug.

Oh Sarina...that's what we in the biz call karmic irony. Most of us go our entire lives without feeling the full effects of it. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

On an completely unrelated note...my sides hurt from all the laughing I just did...

no Sarina, you don't need to cook anything, just add roughly 8,000 pounds of sugar...

I have an excellent recipe from my Nanny at home too, but unfortunatly I cannot remember it in its entiretly

but it goes something along the lines fo this
rhubarb+strawberries+sugar+lemon juice+pinch of cinnamon+lattice crust(somehow)=pie

sorry, I suppose that is not entirely helpful
it is quite delicious though :)

Oh Moisty...you're making my trousers simply moist with your pronouncements of moist snacks. I need to feast on something moist...not moist panties, though. That'd just be awkward. What would you recommend a fellow moist-snack connoisseur?

I need to feast on something moist...

Tooooooo easy. Too EASY!

And Sarina...I have no idea how to handle rhubarb, but you don't cook the fruit pre-baking. I love to cook but I'm no baker...too specific.

Wacha tryin too say, Julie? Got something for me?

intersting observation:

I am not the hugest fan of "moist" either. I mean it doesn't send me into murderous rages or anything, but I try to avoid it when I can

but while reading Shadows' comment above, somehow the word "snack" counter-acted bad taste left in my mouth by the word "moist"

I have absolutely no idea what that means

Wait, how do you end up with a lattice crust if the shit inside isn't cooked? Oh my goodness, I'm exhausted by this confusing disgustingness already. I don't know how pie works! I don't even goddamn believe in pie! Why the hell would anyone think it's a good idea for me to make pie? That's like having a vegan make Thanksgiving dinner!

I remember my grandma grew rhubarb in her garden. When she was alive, I mean. She used to make cobbler or something with it. Maybe it was a crisp. I don't think it was pie, because it was rectangular. Pie doesn't come in rectangles, does it? I don't really know, because I never ate it. It was some pastry-related cooked mushy fruit grossness, so I wouldn't have eaten it anyway, but I also never really trusted my grandma after The Lutefisk Incident.

You know I do Shadows...[hands you a chocolate cupcake]. So. Moist. :p

Sarina, you cook the strawberries when it's already in the crust, everything is baked together. I don't know how to cook rhubarb though...it seems like a fruit/vegetable/root thingie that needs softening up.

Heh.

Wow, Sarina... you musta dided sumpthin baaaad.

Here's what I do when appointed the duty of baking/cooking something I have absolutely NO CLUE how to do - buy the goddamed thing. That's right. Go to a Baker's Square or a Perkins and by the goddamed pie. put it in a friggin pie-pan from home, rough it up a little, char the eges a touch and whoila! You gots yerself a made-from-scratch! In lieu of that, just show up with some strawberry booze and tell 'em to shut their friggin' pie-holes.

"...put it in a friggin pie-pan from home..."

Skits, why the shit would I own a pie pan?

Goddammit, to cook this stupid fucking pie, not only do I have to figure out how pie works and somehow determine whether you do or do not pre-limpify the rhubarb before grossifying some innocent strawberries by baking them, but I have to go buy a pie pan that I don't even want and will never, ever use again.

Can I just kill everyone instead? I know how to do that.

but I have to go buy a pie pan that I don't even want and will never, ever use again

It's probably suitable for taco dip.

Can I just kill everyone instead? I know how to do that.

But that's your answer to everything. Wouldn't you want to surprise everyone by doing something completely un-Sarah-like this time?

I'm in agreement with Skittimus...buy the damn thing. I've done it every year for our Christmas pot-luck...and nobody's the wiser. And if they are, tough...I never pretended to be able to bake...I just cook.

Sarina, the disposable tinfoil pie pans at the grocery store cost only a few bucks...and they usually come 3 to a pack, so you can stomp on the other two in frustration while you bake.

And yeah...obey Shadows and Skitt. Just buy it. Fuck them up their pie-loving asses.

Aren't you supposed to shuck the rhubard first before delimpifying? And as far as crust goes... man, you're on your own with that shit. I think you're supposed to pick the seeds off the strawberries to make a grind a peppercorn glaze or something... with... uh, cinnamon or um...

You'd be better off to just cease any communication with these people. Period. In 2002, I was asked to bring scalloped corn (?) to Thanksgiving at my Uncle's joint. I ain't talked to that sumbitch since... It's just easier that way...

Godspeed...

Sarina, just go buy the pie. Don't put yourself through the torment. I've never touched a rhubarb or eaten a rhubarb pie, because the word "rhubarb" sounds like a code name and not something you should eat. Throw it away.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Y'all are real funny, aren't you. Now Servo had better watch her back, because one of these days I'm going to come up behind her on 6th street and brain her with a sock full of quarters.

Wait, I missed this - Skitt, what the shit is scalloped corn? Is it anything like scalloped potatoes? If so, why?

Corn makes no sense to me. What is the point of eating something that comes out looking exactly the way it did going in? (Yes, I went there, and only because you all know it's true.)

I don't care about corn's inappropriate exit strategies. Corn is fucking delicious.

...unless it is creamed. I don't believe in creamed vegetables. They are sick and wrong.

Now, about this pie bullshit. I'm feeling dangerous, so I Googled me some recipes, and I'm going to experiment. Of course, I will be judging the result solely on appearance, so who knows if the pie will even be edible. There's no point in my taste-testing it because it will taste revolting to me no matter what.

That's even better, Sarina! An excellent lesson on "Why You Don't Ask The Questionably Talented To Make You Something You're Gonna Put In Your Mouth." That's why all the penis-shaped lollipops I make are made with love.

What?

I make sure they're moist...and I don't eat them...they're for my friends, honest....

I like to rub my rhubarb.

[/drools]

Shadows, I've got some craaaazy images of you floating in my head now.

Sarina, please take pictures of this endeavor and post them, along with an account of the experience, on your blog. Please.

Shadows, I'm not even fucking around with you. Quit it with that word.

I expected something like that, socalled.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't like the word "creamed" very much. "Cream," sure. Whipped cream, face cream, ice cream, eye cream, cream cheese (holla!). When you turn it into a verb, it makes my uvula twitch.

Fox gets a pass from me for no other reason than the recent House episode with Cuddy as a stripper in a fantasy sequence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IA7iuDLACg
Now, if Summer Glau does some cyborg stripping I will give all my money to Rupert Murdoch's army.

Wait, did Julie become Tom somewhere in the depths of the movie food thread?

I'd spent a few days confused and had to go to the search just now.

But do you also bust out singing for no appropriate reason?

Jay, in one of the threads Julie wrote something along the lines of being Tom Servo's twin. Hence, the reason I only refer to her as Servo.

None of my friends or family understand my love of MST3K (show or movie). They are obviously mentally deficient, as they also think I'm a whackjob for my obsession with Doctor Who and Torchwood.

I trust you've gathered all the episodes not available for sale now, yes?

I sometimes fear I'll have to invade Philadelphia with a suitcase full of secondhand video and have a lock-in.

"We are watching ALL the Sandy Franks, dammit!"

And speaking of "The Unicorn and the Wasp", since I am now, I read that the car tag numbers MO5599
or MM589 (they didn't specify which) might mean something to anime fans. Anyone have a clue on this? I did find a lot of Japanese web site search hits, which did not help much as they were in Japanese.

What the fuck is rhubarb?

Thank you for that video Twig

Rhubarb, my dear jM is a purple-ish root something-orr-other that grows into... it's a shrub-like appendage that fuckin... okay - there's a bush in my grandparent's back yard see? And when I go over there to mow their yard, they always say "Watch out for that goddamed rhubarb plant Skittiworth"...

So, in conclusion... it's uh... DON'T ASK SO MANY GODDAMED QUESTIONS!!

Jesus...

wow... hey, look at that... a double-post. Guess it's time to dump the rest of this gin & tonic... wow.

God damn you all to HELL!

Not only are all you bastard coated bastards taking my name in vain (honest to god, people - rhubarb pie) but friggin socalled has had the unmitigated temerity to bring back the word m...moi...

Fuck. You know what I mean.

Just stop it. Stop it right now

Obviously, Skit, it ain't something that should be in pie. I suggest downing those gin 'n tonics in the hope of washing away the foul memories.

I will be happy to oblige, Nicole. I plan on attempting this little experiment tomorrow evening. I would have done it tonight, but I had to bake a lemon chiffon cake for my dad's birthday. I'm being very domestic this week, apparently.

I started watching Terminator because Summer Glau does things to my manparts, and I kept watching because... well, she does a lot of things to my manparts. It's not that the show is particularly bad, it's just that that nothing ever happens. The 'cliffhanger' at the end of the series was Cameron the Terminator being blown up in a car. I mean, how is that even a cliffhanger at all? Terminators react about the same to getting blown up as they do to having bugs land on their noses.

I'm all aquiver about Dollhouse, though. Compared to Buffy, Angel and Firefly the premise of Dollhouse is almost pedestrian, so I can't wait to see what Joss Whedon can do without superheroes and astronauts as a backdrop. It'll be gold, obviously, but I'm looking forward to seeing the degree of goldness.

They're going to have be really good with
"Dollhouse' because they jumped the shark
with Bones, making the meekist character
an apprentice to the cannibalistic serial
killer Gormagon, (because of his experience
in Iraq) On House, killing off Anne Dudek's character, CTB, in such a brutal way, dropping the anvil on '13" due to Huntington's. Giving
House, that extra last straw of guilt; he'll never recover from. The less said about '24's
latest incarnation; the better.

@rio, I completely agree with you regarding the Sarah Connor Chronicles (well, I agree with The Whedon bit, too, but that's another story). The show was just a not-so-guilty pleasure for me for the majority of the season, although Brian Austin Green was a surprisingly welcome addition to the cast. And then that "When The Man Comes Around" sequence shows up and gives me all sorts of chills. Hopefully the new season doesn't disappoint, I'd hate for that scene to just be an exception to the rule.
