Also Catherine's film is going to bite them in the rear end real bad.

I wondered if they are setting up a punchline about this old campaign operator guy having dementia and nobody bothering to check it out - with him confusing Nebraska with Nevada he might be confusing Sue for another black woman who used to work at the White House.

Even before I asked myself the question, “Why can’t they raise boneless chickens?” I already had the answer. I don’t even know why I asked the question. Must be getting close to lunch.

But now that I think about it, they can grow square potatoes. (I think they do it in a mold. I saw one once.) So maybe boneless chickens are a possibility. But what kind of life would a boneless chicken have? Okay, sorry I suggested it.

Had the freakiest dream last night. I went to brush my teeth, and the tube was clearly marked ‘gel,’ but regular white toothpaste came out. I was like, ‘this has to be a dream.’ Luckily, it was.

I’ve heard that tooth dreams are about the fear of getting old. That isn’t something I worry about much, though, so I don’t know.

Upon watching The Avengers again last night (thank you, TBS!), struck by this realization: When the Chitauri attack New York, the police and national guard seem completely overwhelmed, even though they are armed with assault rifles. But Romanoff and Barton are able to kill dozens of them with a handgun and bow and arrow, which would presumably have a shorter range and less stopping power than military assault rifles. So, what’s up, National Guard? Are you guys just really bad shots? Panicky under pressure? Other than the big flying monsters, if these guys are vulnerable to arrows and 9mm bullets, shouldn’t you be able to stop them? Filpside, Loki — this is the best invading force you can come up with? How are you going to imprison the Earth with a few hundred dudes who can’t handle arrows? The whole movie is starting to unravel on me. Don’t get me started on Ultron.”

What was the joke with Mike seeing O'Brien at the Korean BBQ place? Is it to do with being stood up at dinner, the fact he is making moves for the presidency with key bigwigs or something else?

I wonder how they manage to translate Veep into other languages for the DVD sets.

And in Season 6, Jon H. is going to be a congressman, but still come by to hang around with the main cast all the time.

Good God the set up for the Chinese thinking that Selina and her daughter were making out.

Vegetable posted:

Also white characters pretending to be fluent in Chinese without any sense of self-awareness is insanely embarrassing. Reminds me of the time House of Cards tried to do it.

I'm saying the Chinese she's speaking is actually real bad.

The way the chinese guy spoke to Mike about his child, i wonder if they approached his wife to have her do some information gathering for them on the white house in exchange of the kid. Like Mike got spy bugs on him without knowing it and the chinese guy assumed he was in on the Child for informations deal.

One From the Memory Box

Auntie had a cat named Ralston that used to run away all the time, but then I discovered that she’d found the cat in a neighbor’s front yard, thought it looked sad, and took it home. So maybe the cat wasn’t running away at all — it was running home. Ralston. World-class hisser, that cat.
