Amusing as always.

But this?
It also begs for a slash fic where Jimmy wakes up and Byers comes strolling out of the shower, in homage to the bad nighttime soaps of the 1980s, but that'll have to wait for another day...

I'm sensing a theme here...

Well, I'm referring specifically to the Velvet Gunman theme you're dancing around...

But I also like the idea of taking the jumped shark and the dream cliche and rolling them all up in a tasty burrito.

Dancing around? I thought I was doing a full-on tango. ^_- (Hee. Velvet Gunman. I'm so totally using that at some point.)

But I also like the idea of taking the jumped shark and the dream cliche and rolling them all up in a tasty burrito.

Mmm. Burritos. And, yes, the meta is entirely intentional.

Also? Sledge Hammer? Best. Show. Ever. (Did they really do the dream cliche? It's been years.)
