Sometimes it's cold on a winter night, you're under a big soft blanket,  you're nearly asleep and you let a massive fart that is very relaxing and feels warm.  That's a good moment.

Till the scent emerges from under the sheets and wraps around your face like a cloying hug from Satan!

I would describe the new Fed-Ex guy as looking uncannily like Frank Butcher, or maybe Frank Butcher's long lost son. Anybody here get that reference at all? Errrgh. When I was little in Ireland I saw SO FREAKIN' MANY episodes of Eastenders that to this day the theme song haunts my head and I apparently think I see its characters in everyday life, even in the 2010s. I need help. Where's Coronation Street? Den Watts, is that you?

[Alex]

Urgh, terrible and depressing show.

[ER]

YES! And yet my aunts and cousins and even my grandmother (who was otherwise more strait-laced than a Puritan) were utterly addicted to that show. Life would cease when it came on, and while it wasn't that racy or anything, mostly just sordid in a suggestive off-camera way, they'd not just let me watch it but encourage me to come in with them, and like you said it was so depressing! Even as a kid I had it figured out, the formula: new character introduction means someone else is going to be pushed out, so a drugs overdose or a hit and run or a suicide was coming soon for someone.

I saw Donna O.D., Den get shot (or so we thought) and dumped in a canal by the Firm, Andy get run over, Paulette get cancer, Mark get AIDS, Arthur hang himself, poor Dot get ripped off and have her heart broken time and again by Charley and Nick, Ali's baby died from cot death and his mother Sue went insane, Angie got "drinker's liver", Arthur, pre-suicide, lost his job and went into a mental hospital and still got sent to prison for stealing to pay for his daughter's wedding to Lofty, and yet his daughter (who was like sixteen and pregnant with forty-year-old Den Watt's child) pulled a runaway bride and left Lofty at the altar and Arthur with the bill for the whole thing, Queenie had Den beaten up on remand, Mr. Wilmot-Brown raped Cathy, the NH worker who talked to everyone about domestic abuse got beaten to death herself by her boyfriend, Pete had a fatal car wreck in New Zealand, the WWII vet everyone ignored and made fun of died alone in his flat, and I figure one day they surely had to put down Rolly the pub dog and Ethel Skinner's pug Willie, right? I think only Dr. Legg ever escaped Albert Square alive and well!

It was the most lurid show ever and yet my family over there watched it like it was wholesome!
I promise, if I hear that theme song a little part of my soul trembles.

[Alex]

Did you know the woman who played Angie put lyrics to that tune and released it as a single.

Anyone can fall in love, its not hard to do...

I can't remember the rest of the lyrics, but I figure that is enough. You'll have that line running around your head driving you crazy all day until you give in and have to go see if you can find the song on Youtube just so you know what the next line is.

As you once said, the Brits are good at interrogation and torture. :P

This is what happens when you diss Vader.

[ER]

No....no....the horror....the....

[Alex]

Da da dah da da da dah.

[ER]

No, no, no, I got nothing but love for Vader. I said it'd be a good fight, I just think Thor would take home the trophy in the fifth set. I even get the source of Vader's rage: his genitals got burned off. Make any Sith Lord cranky to have his outie go innie.

So please.... PLEASE, no more humming Eastenders!

For now.

Just long enough for me to perfect my evil plan to have the 'Star Spangled Banner' replaced by the theme from Eastenders. Imagine that. Every time you are at a sporting event and they play the national anthem, you'd have to stand there, hand over heart, listening to tens of thousands of people drone out the words, their life force being drained from them by its mystical, misery inducing properties.

Ooooh, just the thought of it just gave me an evilgasm.

Honestly, at times I sincerely wonder how people in Hollywood can look at a movie they're making  and not realize how utterly awful. On every. Level it is.  How could movies like jaws 3,  star trek 4,  green lantern, etc get. Made and nonobe realize they sucked?

[ER]

The rainy remnants of the hurricane passed by today and mostly the heavens were gray and low, a typical rainy day sky, but for a few moments there was a break in the cover and I went outside and stared at these towering clouds that laid atop one another in layers that seemed to go up and up and up. It almost looked otherwordly.

[indianasmith]

Sounds very lovely and cool.  Did you get a picture?

[Svengoolie 3]

I'm happy with cooler weather after this incendiary summer.

[Leah]

Standing outside in a hurricane is kinda fun, just make sure that it's one that doesn't sit. Trust me, I've cleaned out rain basins before while in the rain.
