• Does anyone else's dog have a favourite place to to be sick? For my dog it's the stairs. That high traffic area with the cream carpeting. It's called linoleum, little dog. You'll find it in multiple parts of the house. LOOK IN TO IT.


• FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS. Yeah, I'm not ashamed to have jumped on that bandwagon.

Well I'm glad you decided to answer, cause I sure was expecting you of all people to rock the house on this. *g*

And you missed a whopping total of 1 anwser! #5. And I wasn't actually expecting people to know that one. But some people have got it right.

I think you're the only person to get #7 so far.

For #9 I was specifically asking for why Donna told Josh she kept his change, not for an explanation of the parable, just to save people writing it all out. But, I mean, you know it, so I'll give it to you.

Holy crap! You remember the author of the book! Amazing, amazing.

Isn't #25 the best? Oh, Sam.

Isn't #25 the best? Oh, Sam.

Heeee. I always forget he tells them that and then I watch the scene and am so amused. Especially when some of the kids are clearly all, "oh, wow, that's so cool!" Ahahaha.

Yeah, it's totally one of those lines that, like, sneaks out on the end of a breath, and is easy to miss or forget about, even though it's entirely hilarious and brilliant. And I love that it's the absolute last straw for Mallory. I mean, it was one thing that he told them the Roosavelt room wasn't named after Theodore Roosevelt, but that? She's just not havin' it.
