  1. 8 yr-old opinion on what So/Jo should have said (IF they were going to lie, which she was disappointed in):  

    "We had to choose between a big mystery box and this bag of beans.  There may have been two bags of beans under the mystery box, but it wasn't worth risking not having any food."  ...Then, wonder out loud all day about what delicious food might have been in the mystery box until everyone says you made the right decision. 

     

    But as I pointed out, when the tribes come together this is bound to come up in conversation and you're bound to get caught. 

    Khaleesi:  "That's why you don't lie.  Because you weave a tangled web.  With lying spiders.  Lyders."

  2. As a man, I felt Vince was going too hard.  Not stalker hard, just too hard for Jenn to ever want to sleep with him. 

     

    As a woman (to the best of my knowledge), my wife felt Vince's affections were sweet.  She also argued that both men and women have a right to cut to the chase and ask if there's interest there or not before they find themselves too far in.  If it hurts his game, it's his problem. 

     

    If you're wondering, our courting went like this:

    Me:  "I'm really into you and I'd like to take you out."

    Her:  "Good.  I'll get my coat."

  3. Maybe, Anouk, if you're trying to keep your surprise internet-history-espionage visit to your Mom's a secret... exit out of the Google search window.

     

    "My bookworm boy is looking at porn. He forgot to delete the internet history." -Aisha

    He forgot? Is deleting the search history in your home as habitual as putting the toilet seat down?

    And did anyone else immediately think the porn must be Hector's?

    It still irks me the way Nev insists on giving people a platform to make excuses for what they've done, and on having the catfish and the catfishee "hug it out".

     

    I don't mind this.  Most therapists will ask you to directly or independently forgive the person who has hurt/damaged you, because forgiving is the only way to move forward in your own life.  Trying to forget without forgiveness is an endless uphill battle.  Once you forgive someone, you can stop considering yourself their victim.  

     

    Not that Nev is a qualified therapist, but same idea.

  5. In the original documentary, when Nev was catfished, his "catfish"'s husband Vince told him a story that gave the series its name.  

     

    He claims that when live cod were shipped from the U.S. to Asia, the fish's inactivity in their tanks resulted in mushy flesh. Eventually, the fishermen discovered that putting catfish in the tanks with the cod kept them active and saved the flesh from mushiness.

     

    Vince feels that people like his wife Angela are like catfish, who keep other people active in life.

     

     

    From the Wiki page: 

    "They used to tank cod from Alaska all the way to China. They'd keep them in vats in the ship. By the time the codfish reached China, the flesh was mush and tasteless. So this guy came up with the idea that if you put these cods in these big vats, put some catfish in with them and the catfish will keep the cod agile. And there are those people who are catfish in life. And they keep you on your toes. They keep you guessing, they keep you thinking, they keep you fresh. And I thank God for the catfish because we would be ... boring and dull if we didn't have somebody nipping at our fin."

  6. ETA: Jinx, Oblique Angle.  

     

    Urban Dictionary's Top Definition for Basic tells me that people who use it didn't pass Chem 101, otherwise they'd have chosen Acidic.  

     

    Basic
    An adjective used to describe any person, place, activity involving obscenely obvious behavior, dress, action.

  7. My wife loves Starbucks (Flat White is her new go-to; sounds like a Sherwin Williams paint color to me) and she watches all the Sex and the City reruns.  Starbucks is delicious, and Sex and the City is funny.  It's a sad day when enjoying good stuff that you like becomes a bad character trait. 

     

    If it's any comfort, EAG46, the person who would call you (or her) "basic" as an insult is not someone whose opinion either of you would care about.

  8. (Conflicting shelter ideas with Vince)

    Joe:

    At some point, nice goes away.

    My 8 year old daughter, the Khaleesi:

    Um, at SOME POINT, it's going to be night, and it's going to rain, and feathers only keep you warm if you're a bird.

    Connie wasn't old enough to drink, so she could have been twenty. She had a responsible position at the clinic, so she wasn't a child. I would hardly call Hector a pedophile.

     

    Thinking Connie's reception desk spot is a part-time after-school job.  Hector didn't want to give her a cigarette so she's under 18.

  10.  

    Alternate answer, he was an adult, but after he died, the lovey was all she had to remember him by?

     

    That's probably what she'd say if the judges questioned it - but the lovey's whole creep factor is that it implies losing a child-child, not an adult-child.  We may never know how Kelly's brain works under all that purple cotton candy.

     

    I'm still waiting for this season's Emo Faun.  That thing was awesome.

  11. The thing I hated the most about the premiere:  "Go around and take pictures of everybody.  I'll give you a penny a pic." 

     

    A penny a picture, Hector you cheap fuck?  The kid could be there 9 hours and wouldn't make enough to take the bus home.  He offered to do it for free because he didn't want to carry around all those nickels you'd saddle him with. 

     

    (*Bet the defense attorney will offer a lot more than a penny a pic.) 

     

    And of course...

    If a kid's going at my kid with a wooden bat and his dad doesn't intervene?  Little dude's father is getting rocked.
