Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Then why do you get HD feeds?

It's part of the Comcast lineup. The HD channels still play for me.

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

Huh. I pay extra for my HD, I'm pretty sure. No fair.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Speaking of Tony Shaloub, some people who are Lebanese that you might not expect:

Marlo Thomas
Tiffany (pop singer ala Robin Sparkles)
Doug Flutie
Ralph Nader
Salma Hayek (half Mexican/half Lebanese)
Paul Anka
William Peter Blatty (author of the Excorcist)
Dick Dale (surf guitarist, cf: Pulp Fiction)
Christa McAuliffe

I love her!

I would have to pay extra for an HD-DVR, I think. Or an HD digital cable box. I don't know. One day I will join the HD crowd, I suppose, and understand how it all works.

Our wings are not tired

I'm all about HD. Much of my programming and setup is designed to run in either 1080i or 1080p.

I guess you don't have the cable card, or something.

I'm at 720 because that way I could get a bigger TV for the money. The leap in quality is dramatic enough that I only slightly regret it. But I am all about the 720 that I have.

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

ita, you just totally made my day by adding the Jane Lynch photos. I wasn't sure you would.

Ah, Andrea Martin is American, as I learned on This American Life. ETA: And Wikipedia says she's Armenian, not Lebanese!
