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

Keep breathing!

Skipping hundreds of posts to pop in here and wish a "shana tova" (a good year) to those who will celebrate Rosh Hashana (tomorrow and Friday) - and to everyone else, too. May it be a year of life, health, peace, success, and happiness for all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Why won't people answer "what time is good for you?" with a time that is good for them? It seems very simple.

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

What is it with all these babies growing up???? It's freaking me out.

I like to think I compensate by remaining eternally unchangeable.

I'll drink to that.

As Roy Batty said, "I want more life, fucker! And affordable healthcare, world peace and a little career advancement wouldn't hurt either. And a warm, welling sensation of contentment. Fucker!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A critique of the article by the guy who wrote the "Fonzie jumps the shark" episode....

Fred Fox mistakes Jumping the Shark for a point of decline in popularity. Actually, it is about the aesthetic integrity of a character or show. Fonzie's jumping of the shark was the moment when the character Fonzie became not just self-parody, but even worse - an unaware self-parody. The character had destroyed that which made it interesting, or if you like, cool.

The phrase has nothing to do with popularity; it is a marker of when a show goes outside of its boundaries and in doing so destroys some of its characters' integrity. If you like, it marks the end of the beginning rather than the beginning of the end for a show.

In Defense Of Shark-Jumping, Ctd

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Why won't people answer "what time is good for you?"

Or my favorite:

"When is good for you?"
"X, Y, or Z. Do any of those work for you?"
"I don't know - I don't even have my calendar on me."

HULK SMASH AND PUNCH YOU.
