I like to think I compensate by remaining eternally unchangeable.
Ha! Your hair's not even the same color it was last year.

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Your hair's not even the same color it was last year.
I don't know if I was blonde last year.

It seems like you should know this. Go check your hair calendar from last year.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yes, that's worse.
Eta: Aims' favorite. Not ita's hair. Which is fine in its unchanging immutable unknownness.

Because books.
English teachers and general hivemind: What's a good text for a tenth grade English student, in terms of discussing symbolism? Other than, like, The Scarlet Letter?
I forgot ita's hair wasn't blonde anymore.
