Quote from: "CortJstr"
This reminds me of a friend who decided there would be no 2nd date because the guy used "cromulent" in a sentence. She didn't know what it meant but learned the origin the next day while discussing the date with another friend. Personally this choice makes me doubt keeping her as a friend. It's a perfectly cromulent word.


You're damn right - cromulent is the very definition of cromulency, and I fully support its future wordification by the people who do those kinds of things.

It's certainly not a reason to break a date.

And - I continue to be astounded, shocked, and deeply disappointed at what qualifies for TV.  Apparently, if a celebrity is doing something, it's immediately TV-worthy, even if that celebrity is the no-talent brother of a minimal-talent actor who's married to a girl that hasn't had cultural relevancy for 5 years.  I'm just gonna go watch MythBusters and Good Eats until somebody finds out where all the TV writers have gone.

No, she was right to never want to see the dude who just COULD NOT KEEP HIS fuck*ng MOUTH SHUT ABOUT A SIMPSON'S REFERENCE because let's face it, if he couldn't hold back the geekery on the FIRST date, she was in for a two hour "Knights Who Say Ni"-a-thon when she met his best friend in a few weeks.

HONEY, YOU DID THE RIGHT THING

See, at this point I don't even use "cromulent" as a Simpsons reference. It's just a good, cromulent word. Like "grok."

(Is my holistic gestalt grokkable?)

Actually I think the guy got off easy. It was only a matter of time before he found out that she is a vegetarian who doesn't own a TV, only reads non-fiction, and used to work for a senator. The girl doesn't know Alton Brown from a hole in the ground.

This girl I live with owns three seasons of Friends, two on VHS, one on DVD, also the official Friends trivia game.  You guys are making me feel like less of a bad person for wishing I had known this earlier.  I had held out on not watching these infernal Friends for a very long time, only to find myself having to watch it in a cultural studies class.  Sadly, this is true of many things, but mostly I think I am fairly oblivious to celebrities and the wacky things they do.

I think Will Ferrel is pretty damn funny.  Especially Anchorman.

You broke the code!


As for celebrity worship, I have only one thing to say.  If you get excited about Britney Spear's wedding plans, or David Arquette's sex change, or anything Michael Jackson does short of raise the dead and walk on water, do me a favor and kill yourself.

Personally I hate Will Farrell, Ferrell, Ferrel, Farrel... whatever the fuck it is.
Though not quite as much as I hate Jimmy Fallon. God what an asshole he is. "What gives you the right?"

And while I did watch Friends way back, I got incredibly sick of it after my ex watched it over and over. She was one of those who videotaped it every time it was on and watched them constantly.

Now I have less than no inclination to see it again.

The SO's sister was visiting this weekend and had a copy of US from the plane trip. She kept talking about stuff in the magazine and I was very proud that I'd only even heard of one person she was talking about (what's-her-name from Alias. With the big forehead).

Thank you Jough.  The Simpsons are great, and pop culture references are fine among fellow geeks.  And clearly, the writers of the Simpsons are (or maybe were) very clever.  But dropping a reference is not an example of cleverness, like so many think.  It's being a geek.
