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

What is it with all these babies growing up???? It's freaking me out.
Why won't people answer "what time is good for you?" with a time that is good for them? It seems very simple.

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!"

Ha! Your hair's not even the same color it was last year.
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
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.
Deadly cute baby porcupine!
That is one cute porcupet.
