Ooooooh. Was the BSG character named after the Moby Dick person too? That may be a question for RT and the other BSG fans, of which I don't think you are one.

My phrasing is really weird today. Probably shouldn't write much of anything. Other than Coltrane's next writing sample.

It's plot lines like this that almost inspire me to start my own blog.
I like that Turtle finally did something worthwhile. He made a crass suggestion to women who not only were not offended by it, but were almost honored by it (notwithstanding the head pussy's obligatory snotty reply).

I think he's probably a little too young for you, anyway.

The PP's weapons wer epretty scary looking, as well. Great eposide all around.

As an aside, Mandy Moore does nothing for me.

This is almost as cute as Not Bob and yoko nonononono. Somebody should say something mean about RT to see what balt does.

Another thing I liked about the episode -- 3 sexed up chicks appear at the dweeb's door dressed in leather, but his eyebrows don't really go up until he sees the phallus dangling from the head girl's torso. Nice direction there.

Also, did anybody notice that in the Sundance episode Turtle got excited about the Treo Sidekicks, and used one as a bribe to horn in on Drama and the girl at the film by the Spanish director?

Oh, and, I meant to say I don't think Mandy Moore is that hot, either, but it makes it kind of interesting that she makes Vince crazy even though more strikingly beautiful women throw themselves at him every day.

Yeah. I wondered if maybe that was the point. Makes Vince a little more human that he falls for the girl-next-door type, maybe.

Tim Horton's was named after the police chief in Reefer Madness.

FYI, anyone from now on named Starbuck is named after the Moby Dick character.

Yes, Howard liked Moby Dick and named his coffee place after the character. It is also why there is a mermaid on the cups. A mermaid that the conservative right wanted to have removed from the cups because it was too suggestive. Yes, too suggestive. Her with her spreading her fins and all. Come to think of it, I think she was changed because she was a little more suggestive before.

RT can defend herself much better than I. I think the risk of intervention would be the other way around.

Good point. Somebody say something mean about balt. I can't think of anything.

I tried being offensive about the upside-down mouth yesterday and got nothing.

I heard he was a lousy tipper and mean to children. Is that mean?

I have heard you be much more offensive. I don't think you're really trying.

She's in her happy place. Scoott Peterson was just shipped to the death row where she does volunteer work.
