  1. Also being young when it was on, and not young now, I do wonder if the point of the show was to underscore the hypocrisy. Mrs. Roper is a horny cougar before there were cougars, and Larry was a typical player of the time. Jack was actually more protective of the roomies iirc. Except that one time Jack's balls flopped out his short, but it was the 70s. I liken it to when you see memes of "Archie Bunker would never be able to get away with saying all that today." Well, no, the point was that he wasn't getting away with saying those things then either. So Jack has to pretend to be gay, when Larry is clearly predatory, and it's ok for Mrs. Roper to force herself on her husband without his consent. Also way more pratfalls in the 70s. The premise of Jack being gay wasn't really a plot in every episode anyway.

    I agree with Charles. Heat need to treat Game 6 like Game 7 because they're going to get slaughtered if they have to go back to Boston.
  3. The teacher said it had to be from history.
  4. So the 50% of mormons deep in the closet can live together and get it on. Can confirm. They also all go out to Salt Lake on Thursdays and rage. There weren't any rules when I was in undergrad, but it just wasn't common. In fact, when I was looking for apartments (way cheaper than dorms) my mother actually said it was ok to live with my female friends. I just don't recall any mixed roommates. But a lot of the situation were fraternity/sorority bros/sis living together because it was like 75% greek. So it makes sense you're going to tend to live with them since you known them for a couple of years.
  5. Even in the late 80s/early 90s, there were plenty of places where mixed renting was a deal. The first time I saw it was the norm was when I was at Berkeley and that was 1999. Maybe in the late 70s LA probably did have some mixed, but most of the USA, no. On the show, it was just for the landlord; everyone else was fine.
  6. If you have a wood stove, you can just through the paper in there.
  7. I figured. Falme better make Game of Thrones look like South Park.
  8. Not even remotely how I pictured the Seanchan. I still wonder how they're going to do the accent!
  9. If you only have to lift over the top of the gift, then why don't people just peek ahead of time?

    I'm not surprised at all if Boston wins game 5. It's not like these teams don't know each other well. Then you're going to get the 'Miami is shaky, etc.'
  11. I never really got hungover. I got blasted out of my minds plenty of time, but waking up, I was never like symptoms on tv. We used to just go to the diner for a couple of hours. And if you're careful; no more shots, stick to drinking the same thing, etc., you can usually maintain. Even if a little too much, sleeping it off usually takes care of it.

    I don't have any team rooting interest, but it's great to see Denver get into the finals for the first time. Butler is on fire, so I'm hoping it's going to be last one with the ball wins the title. I just don't want to see sloppy play or too many whistles.
  13. You'd think with all those force brain powers, Yoda might have had an iota of an inkling about Palpatine.
  14. I'd say it's more competition than interest. Or the competition fuels her interest. The whole plot was based around her sticking it to Wayne. In the big heist episode at the boardwalk way back, the motivation was to win the big stuffed animal to get one over on Mr. Fischoeder (even though he was in on it). She didn't know at the time though. Louise needs something on the line to get her going. She was all for rescuing Dr. Bojangles because free detention was on the line *and* no assembly. I think that's why I see her out of the three kids as taking over the restaurant. I want to know who Rudy picked for his hero.
  15. I mean, I know it's the show, but you're getting $1000 *every month*; she should have been socking a lot of that away in mutual funds or a Roth. They should be millionaires at this point.
  16. How would he even really know what's going on galaxy-wide anyway? He bailed at the end of Sith when he faced Palpatine. Unless Kenobi took some trips to visit him and fill him in on what's going on. Would he even know who Vader was?
  17. I thought those were the Beatles. When the band was playing. I didn't see Mr. Pinchy. My roommate cooked a lobster for the first time, and me and his girlfriend were cracking up because I was screaming about Mr. Pinchy. I liked you picked Heisenberg. I imagined you were at that level of derisiveness + no steam relief valve. Silver lining - I watch the show with a more critical eye. I enjoyed Homer being in hell, but the epiphany was kind of the wrong one to have.
  18. I posted about giving my dog an honorary doctorate like Mr. Frond in the Great North thread. I have both shows' tabs up and cross-posted. The family shocked at Louise reading. Linda was so forlorn - Why no glitter? Anyway, is Wayne new? I don't remember him. And the puppet kid. This should have been a group project because Louise and Rudy would have killed it together. I'm actually impressed with Gene rigging the keyboard. This was the first time I actually liked Gene's music. The presentation was really well done. This doesn't beat the whole Ocean's Eleven heist to get the big prize at the boardwalk, but it's up there. Kids working together; Gene not annoying and useful for two weeks in a row. When Louise really digs in, she can do anything.

    Wow. Way to show up in the must win game. It's not like Boston can't win in Miami.
  20. I've been waiting for this all week! The skylight was a good idea. I also liked that Bethany wore a tie. And the pizza girl had a bow tie. Wow, the bears in the school was intense. Good job on the kids keeping their wits. And Bethany had an emergency phone! With a cooler of Killer Lime. I liked Beef being really riled and ticked off. I also liked that the teachers just let the kids drinks. Kyle had all the great movie lines. Judy Tub-in. Dead. I saw the Yeti near the outhouse when that episode aired! I think I posted here. I'll have to be more observant. This was a great two parter. Just a great plot for any tv show.
  21. Nice to see the entire opening theme. Marge has been hiding money from Homer for years. He gets mad, but it's his fault because Marge was using the money to help him. Spartan Girl is probably going through the roof. I didn't realize the elf was Lizzo until she busted out the little pink flute.
  22. You want to tell me what to do? Fucking pay me. What was the capper on that scene, was not only was it an unpaid internship, but there wasn't any guarantee of employment after that either.
