NCIS: LA isn't big on show, don't tell, is it?
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

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

Wow, Lisa -- that is scary. Glad he's doing better, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do you think former Pres. Bartlet will call today, Dana?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Of course, erika, I had to go look up that episode.
Bartlet: Stuffing should be stuffed inside the turkey, am I correct?
Operator: It can also be baked in a casserole dish.
Bartlet: Well, then we'd have to call it something else, wouldn't we?
Operator: I suppose.
Bartlet: If I cook it inside the turkey, is there a chance I could kill my guests? I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker.
Operator: Well, there are some concerns. Two main bacterial problems are Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni.
Bartlet: All right. Well, first of all, I think you made the second bacteria up, and second of all, how do I avoid it?
Operator: Make sure all the ingredients are cooked first. Sauté any vegetables, fried sausage, oysters, etc.
Bartlet: Excellent! Let's talk temperature.
Operator: One hundred and sixty-five degrees.
Bartlet: No, see, I was testing you! The USDA calls for turkeys to be cooked to an internal temperature of 180 to 185 degrees.
Operator: Yes, sir, I was talking about the stuffing which you want to cook to 165 to avoid health risks.
Bartlet: Okay. Good testing!
Operator: Do you have an accurate thermometer?
Bartlet: Oh yeah. It was presented to me as a gift from the personal sous chef to the king of... auto sales in...
Toby: [whispering] Fargo.
Bartlet: Fargo. Phil Baharnd. The man can sell a car like... well, like anything.
Operator: Very good, sir. You have a good Thanksgiving!
Bartlet: And you do, too. Thanks a lot! [hangs up the phone] That was excellent! We should do that once a week.

Why has it not been an hour yet since work started? I want to eat my muffin but I'm not hungry enough yet. Also, I want the people I've sent email to to answer me.

That was when I decided I really liked that show, instead of just wanting to hide from the previous president.

There were also, you know, the threats to commit suicide he gave to his friends and family.
Also also, he wasn't hanging so much as dangling -- if he'd straightened his legs, he wouldn't have died.
I am confused by some of the reactions I've seen from people who think that the ruling of suicide is obviously a coverup. Because it reads like, "It's obvious that all these goverment officials are conspiring to hide the fact that there are lunatics out there who hate and distrust anyone who works for the government." Which is a little too recursive for me.
