People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Wasn't that an episode of the x-files, only the kids kept being born with tails because of the sperm guy's poo poo genes?

Technical point of order, just because someone is Canadian, and used a Canadian bank does NOT mean that the story didn't happen in the USA.

After their father died, Herbert said, he went to his local UPS store near Cornwall, Ontario, where he was expecting a package from sister Taylor containing his share of their inheritance in the form of a bank draft, but it never came.

Taylor sent the money through UPS from her lawyer in Georgetown, Ont., about 270 miles away, so Herbert wouldn’t have to drive to pick up the hefty sum.

Don’t send $864k of what is essentially cash through the post.

Taylor obtained the bank draft — which is like a certified check, but the money is taken from a customer’s account immediately and held by the bank until the draft is cashed — in February, after TD told her it was the safest way to send the large sum.

“They said a bank draft was more appropriate” for that amount of money, Taylor said. “Never in my wildest imagination did I think something like this would happen.”

The bank assured Taylor and her husband the money could be replaced if the draft was lost.

I literally only remember three scenes from the x-files. Baby with a tail, liposuction murder and someone being drugged, put in a very pretty looking furnace and burned alive.

It did eventually appear in syndication but Fox refused to ever air it again. It's also probably one of my all-time favorite episodes.

The episode has a bunch of incest themes and opens with a deformed, crying baby being buried alive. It's a pretty brutal episode overall.

Home was the first and possibly only XFiles episode with a content warning before it.

This was obviously in the days without standard TV ratings and content advisories.

I don’t think it helped matters that I remember the episode itself being pretty bad (really boring) when ignoring all the off putting inbred horrible people.

No that's the one where Bruce Campbell is the devil and he just wants to have a normal looking baby with a human, so he has sex with a whole bunch of women but all the foetuses start developing horns so he causes them to miscarry.

There are two episodes about people loving with IVF clinics: 'Eve' (where one IVF doctor was using her eggs for everything) and 'Small Potatoes', where a janitor at an IVF clinic who cold take the appearance of anyone was tricking patients into having sex with him. He used to have a tail, and all the babies are born with tails too.

Now that I write this out, I realise that X-Files is pretty drat rapey

edit: there's also the episode 'The Great Mutato' where a deformed mutant guy that loves Cher goes round town drugging and raping women and then Mulder and Scully take him to see Cher in concert as a reward or something.
'Home' is the episode with the inbred hillbilly family that all have sex with their quadriplegic mother and all their sperm combines to make super deformed babies that they kill and bury in the yard. Jesus Christ...

There's another one where an entire town (esp. the football team) gets whacked out on bovine hormones from milk.

My personal fave is the one where they get trapped by a giant underground mushroom. Oh, and the holiday one where they meet Ed Asner and Lily Tomlin in a special murder suicide.

Most of X-Files is crap but there are some diamonds in the midden.

And the guy who played the tailed- IVF Clinic janitor was Darin Morgan, who also played the Flukeman, and wrote some really good X-Files episodes, like Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose

There was a follow-up to that episode on Millennium that was really very good, too.

Why do they always go for the display name and not the handle? They go far enough to check out their bios but don’t click on links to their work!

This is like when Eric Garland called me a Russian hiding behind a fake name because I had a Halloween display name even though my handle is my real name!
