Didn’t Ben Franklin have syphillis?
“Yes, but I don’t”.

Did Chris-R ever get his fucking money?
Probably the best acting in the entire movie was done by Dan Jajigian in this scene, but I would like closure on this escapade.
It turns out that Denny buys drugs from Chris, apparently on the honour system or on a buy-now-pay-later sort of deal. But Denny doesn’t have it when asked. Chris, suddenly incensed, whips out a piece demanding to know where his fucking dosh is. But it’s okay, it’s apparently on its way and will be here in five minutes.
So are Jonny or Mark meant to be bringing the money? If so, they have no intention of paying it, instead opting to send Chris directly to jail. But then Lisa and her mum appear, but they don’t seem to have the money either.
Denny sheds light on the mystery. Apparently he bought the drugs on tick as he needed to earn some money himself. So it would seem that Denny took the gear and dealt it on himself. But it’s okay now as Chris-R is safely in jail and Denny only has to deal with the ire of Lisa and her mother. Nobody mentions that Denny is a drug dealer again.
What a story, Mark
The Robert California thread
Let’s please pay homage to one of the finest characters.
Anecdotally, every time I am speaking to someone who is being paint-dryingly dull I will always think of “you’ve lost my interest”. Every damn time.
Robert, i hardly knew you yet you left an indelible mark on me.
Cats Cradle- perhaps someone can help me
Firstly, I have read three KV books and loved them all (SH5, breakfast of champions and his selection of short stories/thoughts published shortly before his passing- sorry, can’t recount the name off the top of my head).
I have been looking forward to CC for a while and just couldn’t get in to it. I loved his style of writing, his irreverence and brilliant turns of phrase. But the story just didn’t seem to go anywhere. It felt like a disjointed mashup of character descriptions and tangents which were largely funny- but lacked the general moving story I so enjoyed in Breakfast Of Champions.
130 pages into the 200, I just put it down. DNF.
Have I completely shat the bed with this or what?
(I expect some down-votes, but please be assured that I am not knocking a writer whose work I generally enjoy reading!)
Edit: really appreciate the comments. I will pick this back up. Thank you.
The Scarn.
The wonderful comic timing of Michael when he is protesting Andy’s idea of doing the dance as he suddenly and uncontrollably breaks into it as the music begins to play. The initial walk has me in tears right away.
The panning back to John stifling actual laughs makes this scene comedy gold.
As everyone starts to join in, John becomes more unstable and finally loses all control when Packer says his piece at the end.
If the Scarn is gay, then I’m the biggest queer on earth!
What on earth was David Wallace thinking about half of the time, here is a list of his various aberrations:
making a temporary worker with no managerial experience fresh out of “business school” an executive manager
not firing a staff member for literally starting a fire in the office and locking people in
Downsizing and closing down branches while leaving Scranton will a full complement of staff, of which most do no work whatsoever.
and then making Michael and Jim co-managers (probably the weirdest decision)
“buying out” Michael Scott Paper Company by rehiring all of the people who left despite the company making no money and being informed that they are broke. So acquiring a company without looking at its business fundamentals.
re-hiring Ryan despite having sacked him for fraud a few months earlier
making millions with Suck-It and then buying Dundee Mifflin even though the company was struggling throughout the entire eight seasons.
Wallace, you moron!
:)
You guys have fifteen parties a week! You can’t learn my name?
I saw all your hard drives and guess what, you’re not a photographer, and you definitely can’t fit in to a size two!
Darryl, man! you’re on Facebook! Why have you been telling people you’re not on Facebook!? people want to be your friend, man! And you *points to Andy* this guy is the one who went to the press! He sent a letter to the editor, I saw it. And I also saw a quicktime video of your little printer fire video. You’re the snitch. He’s the snitch! So, that’s it, check it out ——> 🖕
Absolutely destroyed them all and it was duly deserved. They were horrible to him and he just wanted to say a friendly goodbye.
I mean, same seat every time, same clothes, I’ve never seen him move or change expression either.
We call him The Accountant.
EDIT: I am not being mean, by the way. This chap is somewhat of a celebrity in our house as always look out for him. In fact, I saw him walking to the Crucible outside by the winter gardens and I wanted to say hello or shake his hand, but didn’t want to bother him!
Edit edit: some saying that this might make him feel uncomfortable, I get it. It’s just a funny observation so I’ll raise the stakes; if anyone knows him, shows this to him and he feels uncomfortable with it then I’ll delete the post with profound apologies.
I love The Accountant!
Peace out.
