The ignore feature is one of my favorite features here, as opposed to TWoP (RIP). I'm not on other sites so I don't know if it's common but it must be a blessing for those with stalkers. Right now, I have 3 ignores just to spare myself some blood pressure spikes and sprained eyeballs.

Did I miss a meeting? I had no idea that we're performing next Thursday! Did anyone book a rehearsal studio for the weekend?

OMG! I have one of those rare upside down bills! I'm rich! Rich, I tells ya!

But hey, no judgment...

Bruuuuuuuuce!!!!!!

I SAID I never posted!

You say adamant, I say obnoxious. I never posted a response because I was so pissed off by the tone all I could think to say was "fuck you and your grandmother."

Maybe I've been goatsed once too often (and once is too often), but I'm not clicking on links that aren't explained with words. It's been raised before, but this morning my pet peeve is hate posting. Hate watching is done in private; it doesn't impinge on my enjoyment--and it's all about me. But if you have nothing positive or funny to say about a show, please start a hate thread instead of ruining an "all episode" thread. I--and it is all about me--am tired of having to set posters to ignore because all they ever do is whine in an unentertaining way. You don't like the host, actors, show, writing once in a while, that's cool. There's a lot to critique on even the best and most loved show. But if all you do is bitch and announce that you're done with the show, then for fuck's sake, be done and go away.

Cassandra's clothes are still little-girly waif crap but the character isn't quite as vomit-inducing as last year. Jones is also slightly less punch-worthy. The actor playing Prospero is AWFUL. Not in the fun OTT no scenery is safe from his chewing sort of way--he's just dreadful. Moriarty is being played by one of the actors who played Charles Widmore on Lost, which made it difficult for me to evaluate him as Moriarty. Of course he was flirting when he called Eve Duchess. "All of the royalty here and you outshine them all." Flirting for the purpose of distracting, maybe, but obviously flirting. I really disliked many of Rebecca Romijn's line-readings. It took me a ridiculously long time to realize Frankenstein's Monster was Paul Kinsey from Mad Men. I love Jenkins but no one looking at John Laroquette is going to deduce "man of action." Unless they're thinking of Dan Fielding and a different sort of action.

I hope they tone down both the SuperWaif shit with Cassandra and give Ezekial a character trait other than supreme obnoxiousness.

I went to "richest American", couldn't think of a university named for J.P. Morgan, thought about Carnegie libraries (bless his memory) and got to Carnegie Mellon, then thought that was too obscure for this show lately, barely spared a thought for Stanford, and landed on Vanderbilt.

Stephen is not "Stephen", neither is he Dave. This show is not TCR or Letterman and I think it's unrealistic to expect it to replicate either. I hope that some of my favorite TCR bits and people who haven't yet appeared will eventually show up--Hans, Trevor Potter, the Girl from Ipa Nima, once again my apologies to Doris Kearns Goodwin, and inventive ways of raising scads of $ for the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, DonorsChoose, disaster relief etc.. But I'm not going to relentlessly compare this show to TCR or Letterman and nitpick how it's different because how does that make me feel better? It doesn't. The Late Show is what is and if it stops entertaining me, I'll stop watching and posting (without a flounce announce).

Crikey! Vampires are not my thing but if I was Mrs. Colbert, I would've sent the kids out for Oct. 30 razor blade candy, locked the door, and demanded to be fanged.

Carnegie was the first thing I thought of but moved onto Vanderbilt right away. The amount of silence in DJ was astounding. Did they all watch Damien flame out in the previous game and decide not to risk answering anything?

This is one of the sites I use: Chiff. It isn't perfect but it covers a lot.

Isn't Black Friday the way to monetize Thanksgiving for more than Butterball?

roamyn, I think that was called The Littlest Angel. I thought it was an Easter special, though.

One of the best costumes I ever saw was a girl who pinned a scarlet A to her dress and went as Hester Prynne.

French toast recipes vary, but I use eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon (by all means, fellow Americans, use a heavy hand), soak some thick bread, and cook it on a griddle or in a frying pan. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Pansy has referred to gay men since at least the 1930s, and probably well before.

From dictionary.reference.com: noun, plural pansies. 1. a violet, Viola tricolor hortensis, cultivated in many varieties, having richly and variously colored flowers. 2. the flower of this plant. 3. Slang. Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a contemptuous term used to refer to a male homosexual. Offensive. a weak, effeminate, and often cowardly man.

From the article As in gay. That's what pansy is a disparaging term for and why I didn't think her answer was the high-larious quip Trebek thought it was.

What's a halau?

Squicked by the cow. Still recovering. Poor Elsie.

Addendum to WTF with all the cardamon: WTF with all the passion fruit?
