    I heard a rumor that the CIA tried to recruit Khoo as one of their interrogators at Gitmo.

    See, they built up how brutal the final interview was going to be and then didn't show anything terrible. I am disappointed.

    Also, is the one firing someone obvious that I'm overlooking or some generally unknown person?

    I noticed this episode that both Erika and Lexxy were wearing scarves indoors in a non-winter environment

    Not a fan of that at all
    Still, that Erika chick must have made one hell of a case as to why she was willing to uproot her life and abandon her boyfriend and quit the job that she already had

    I mean, shit, I wouldn't give that up, even for a job at Penny Arcade

    I don't think she abandoned her boyfriend. I'm pretty sure that was him entering the door with her on the reveal.

    The majority of the questions would have been about things that were not shown in the episodes and/or were extremely personal. This isn't some Chris Hansen show, we aren't here to watch people squirm as the chatlogs are read out loud to them.

    Yeah, but they hired Mike back the next day after Jerry tried drawing.

    We kind of are. Obviously the series we're watching isn't the primary venture of the people depicted within, but the setup has always conveyed sincerity as critical to the purpose. I'm not suggesting a purely exploitative indulgence of misery, but the way this is told makes me feel like I left the room to make a sandwich right before the climax and got back just in time for the denouement.

    Huh. I think the only discussion of winter I really heard at all this year was from people claiming that a snowstorm up north proves pollution is good for the environment and reveals Al Gore's secret Jew space alligator allegiance and hey it even snowed three times in Atlanta it's a new ice age and somehow flannel is back in style.

    Not really no, we got a bit of snow back before christmas but it has been brown and green since then.

    Who cares if they are wearing scarves. Scarves are a comfortable, fashionable accessory. And I'm sure it was cold enough that it didn't hurt, either.

    It's really a petty thing to nag someone on.

    But it proves they are hipsters, because it is a terribly obscure and archaic fashion trend they resurrected from T.S. Eliot poems, just like piercings.

    I am only willing to allow the hipsterfolk's women to get away with it, because as we all know, the fairer sex of any species is liable to get the vapors should her environment overwhelm her with any severity.

    Also, they're all suspect as being decapitated ghosts up until they finally remove their scarves.

    Except it's not. Scarves are incredibly popular in the fashion world and a very accepted thing. Just because the majority of dudes on the internet conclude their fashion choices between 'black shirt' and 'black shirt with saying on it' doesn't mean everyone needs to.

    Further, I truly hope you do not actually think someone is a 'hipster' simply because they wear scarves.
