Two links

If I owe anyone a reply to something, I'll see to it after I finish this presentation I'm doing this weekend. But, I wanted to drop in and leave these two links:

The Best Sitcom of the Past 30 Years, Round One: Arrested Development vs. South Park

Highlight: "Is it a numbers game, weighing SP’s 237 flawed episodes against AD’s mere 53 to date? Is it about head over heart/heart over head? Polished over rough? Or is it because I was told that, were I to pick South Park as the winner, it would probably not increase my chances of making love to Trey Parker, even though I know I’d be really good at pleasing him?"

Every Celebrity Mocked on South Park Over Its Sixteen Seasons

Disturbingly comprehensive!

ETA: After listening to this Grouplove "Tongue Tied" song about 2900 times, I have decided it is really good for S/K. Just saying. Now I will add it to my comprehensive theoretical mental S/K playlist.

I listened to Tongue Tied a lot while writing the original wettermark story - I'll choose to believe, now, that it was reinforcing the not-subtle strain of S/K that the overall story rests upon.

SP definitely has more likable and well-rounded characters than Arrested Development. Even as someone who wants to have sex with Trey Parker, it's still weird to me how many women do. I mean, it's something I dislike about myself ...

It's a good song that I got into a year late because I do everything a year late, why wouldn't I?

I think physically I'm more into Matt Stone, and he also seems less distressing to hang out with, like he probably has some small fraction of human dignity. But I imagine Trey Parker is just a >>>HOT MESS<<< with a lot of lesser than/greater than signs around "hot mess" to emphasize that in some ways that's both super upsetting and in others, super awesome. He could be super committed to this stripper, though, and I'd hate to get in the middle of that.

RPS talk.
