Once again, we are infused with the slapstick. The oldest boy's hair turns bright orange in a twinkling of the writer's eye, having been doused with a non-FDA-approved hair tonic. (Why any boy of Bobby's age, or any age, would be investing in something as outmoded and unidentifiable as "hair tonic" remains to be explained. As any kid on the show could tell the writer, the old hair-tonic routine is right out of "Our Gang." Let's face it, we're long since past the "little dab'll do ya" era.)
Without belaboring the inequities of the script, which are varied and numerous, the major point to all this is: Once an actor has geared himself to play a given style with its prescribed level of belief, he cannot react to or accept within the same confines of the piece, a different style.
When the kid's hair turns red, it is Batman in the operating room.
I can't play it.
That is so awesome.

What RPGs are you selling, Squash? I'll buy it at a high* price.
*may not be high
I thought you don't play pen-and-paper RPG stuff.
Mostly obscure sourcebooks: bunch of GURPS books, Invincible Overlord stuff, a minor Rifts sourcebook, The Omnilivex Supers setting, an obscure horror game "Don't Look Back; Terror Never Far Behind" and a very beat-up Godlike sourcebook that I accidentally bought two of, and since this one is beat-up, it's going on the eBay.

I read that by itself and went 'wah?' and then followed the link and was amused.
I am still up because I was playing with the free money Party Poker had given me. I turned their 30 into 45 playing poker and then played blackjack for a few hours, getting it up to 300, but I had only earned like 22 of 240 points required so I could actually withdraw the funds, so kept playing... and lost it. Some people are damned stupid when it comes to blackjack.
It was fun though, and killed a few hours, and was absolutely free.
Man I really enjoyed Special Topics in Calamity Physics.
My mom liked that book.
I don't know anything about your mom but that makes me feel bad.
My mom is incredibly smart and even more incredibly well-read. You are in good company.
But also apparently a middle-aged woman.
Sorry.
The friend who recommended the book said of another book "Oh... that's a book my mom would like." Which meant I should put it back. His mom isn't stupid or anything, just... the sort of person that thinks The Da Vinci Code is artfully crafted prose.
So I incorrectly extrapolated that data to your moms.
I feel like the ending of that book sort of gut punched me. I'm still like, whoa.

I haven’t read it myself.
But yeah no my mom is serious about her literature. She said I’d probably like it. You also recommend it, Eddy (I have to finish my Augustus biography first, of course)?
DA didn't you say you were going to be like an hour ago?
At least. Can't sleep. I probably shouldn't have broken my avoidance of caffeine over this week vacation. Hopefully soon exhaustion will win out over stimulants.

A good whack in a head can help with your sleeping problem.
Yeah, I liked it. It's written sort of differently than any book I've read before. The protagonist uses citations from dozens and dozens of sources to relate to what she's talking about. She's also insufferably disdainful of just about everyone around her but that sort of grew on me.

Does it have to be my head? It sounds like any head will do....
Alternatively: Violence, is there nothing you can't solve?

I tried really, really hard, too.
That is so awesome.

There is amusement there, gentlemen. Seek it.
That's what your mom said!

Sabs: My roomie and I hate that commercial.
Our tyrannical overlord speaks the truth.
I will still take a look at it, hell maybe I will use my sister's credit card to get me some comics. :P

Don't ask such crazy things.

Oh silly, my family's from the southwest and they came up here for Christmas.
Way to kill the joke, celery.
Yeah, that struck me as a rather awkward burn.

yeah well
your family is dumb
so there
It's what he does. Way to suck, dude.
And the proper term is Minute Man.
You need to learn that boy some subtlety, elki.
It's his loss on that one. I'm not going to bother defending that old nag.

How's it feel to be the most [in]famous forumer from Saskatchewan?
Why does everyone want to kill you all the time?
Hmm, I'm trying to think of one but I can't.

It’s funny because you still don’t quite get it.
As long as you don't think it's amazingly well written.
I have no idea what you're talking about
Hopefully this new angle works out for you.
I'm going to assume it's just not funny and move on.
It's what I do.
