Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Not yet. But the upside is that I've got you guys to keep me company.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh, Cashmere. Sorry about the suck.

What a hellish morning, Cash. I think your weekend turns around quickly.

Well, I have to say I was unimpressed with the first episode and don't see how it would help to attract new viewers. The main plot was confusing, and I don't think the recap would have been entincing or easy to follow as a new viewer either. As a fan, it was simply annoying.

After three hours of needing to pee, I said screw it and discreetly opened the passenger door and copped a squat, during a lull in traffic. A cop pulled up 2 seconds after I was back in my seat.

That could have been awkward.

This too shall pass.

Heh, I bet the cop has peed on the side of the road.

True!

He just wanted to make sure I had someone comin for me. I guess I do. Tow driver called me to clarify my location.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

copped a squat

Oh, this is a good one. Over the summer, I was at a picnic, and my friend asked if I think "pop a squat" means to pee outside, or just sit down. I was like, well first of all, it's "cop a squat," but then I'm not sure -- I think I could go either way with context.

What say you all? Cop v. pop, sit v. pee.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

What say you all? Cop v. pop, sit v. pee.

What I've heard most often is "plop a squat," and always to mean "hey, grab a seat, sit down, etc."

I think it might vary by region.

I used it in this case because of the actual cop. I mostly use it as "sit". Unless I'm in a bathroom or peeing in front of police.
