Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Always Anti-fascist!

Hee. Hee. Still one of my favorite moments from that episode.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

John, I've been trying to understand your tag. Is is something like "sadness (is gone), hail spring, girls (something) with joy"?

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

Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts. Girls dig scars.

Oh, please be kidding.

See, if it were about drinking, I'd have gotten it. Carmina Burana gave me that much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

please be kidding.

That was my best guess (not that my Latin's up to much).

I need to put Night Court on my DVD wish list.

I'll probably be getting a few of the later seasons when they're released--the Markie Post years were the best overall, even if they are missing the incomparable Selma Diamond.

No, I'm pretty sure.

Dolor est fugax. Gloria perennis. Puellae cicatricabus gaudent.

Dolor=pain, fugax = fleeting. Gloria=glory perennis = lasts. Puellae=girls cicatrwhatev=scars gaudent = gotta be dig, at this point.

Yeah, I see it now. Like I said, my Latin is largely ecclesiastical texts and Carmina. Carmina had me covered for "puellae," and the church covered "gaudent", "gloria", and "dolor".

The internet is weird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

John Laroquette in Night Court = Hot.
