I was also very surprised by her zombie-ness. But I reacted the same way I would if a cousin got a new haircut because I feel nothing but contempt for all of these characters: "Ohhh heyyyyy neeaatttt."
One of Marlo's crew. Chris and Snoop distracted him and the kid who got shot in the leg and was going to take the gun charges for Snoop walked up behind and shot him. I forget his name, it wasn't Michael though.
I was in 4th grade when 9/11 happened so the search for Osama has been pretty much one of the reigning political topics in my life. With him dead, it's kind of like some type of closure on the 9/11 attacks. It's a very small victory, and most likely a symbolic one, but still, it's kind of comforting. I have a friend who's a Marine serving overseas so it's kind of nice to have this gratifying, tangible effect of the work they're doing. I don't support the war because of the reasons that it has carried on (oil) but a victory like this is definitely something we all needed. I'll admit that at first, hearing USA chants over a man's death, I felt a bit conflicted (12 years of catholic school guilt) but I remembered 9/11 and how it took me a few years to process it and realized that this man was truly a monster. We're at a time in American culture when it seems the first instinct of people is to shit on and criticize things and everything is approached with a feeling of detachment, which I admit I definitely have. If I was to approach everything I saw or heard in a serious, personal manner, I would probably have a heart attack by the time I'm 24. There is a difference though between a removed attitude for the sake of your sanity and in a callous, acerbic view on everything around you and I think that's a line a lot of people straddle. In a time like this, it's good to see the people come together and I just wish it would happen more often and not just every time the worst enemy of the United States is killed. This is weird for me because I have almost no political views and it seems like EVERYTHING is revolving around politics but I'm going to try and enjoy this small oasis of unity (ugh did I really just say that? yup, I did) that exists right now. And also, I love to yell "What?!" during the rest note in the USA chant so today is like Christmas for me.
I want to adopt the kid on the scooter as my little brother. Then we'll get matching scooters and write comic books about how much bullies suck. Also, if the bullies are about 6 years younger than me I can maybe even beat them up too if they're, you know, asleep or something.
I fucking love this whole conversation. First character that made me lose it in public was when Huell Howser turned into the avenging angel of the white race on thanksgiving episode.
"You know when you're like bleeding from the neck and you're all like bluwahhhh because you're bleeding everywhere? You know, because he cut my carotid ar-ter-y? That's what I say, I say ar-ter-y, because I put a little flair on it."
Nice save, R2.
the prophecy is fulfilled!
Ian I totally agree. Trampoline hoops are the best. This kid does not know what I am talking about.
