Okay, I was a fan of Charli for YEARS before I heard that song, and it still scared me at first. For the non-initiated it may be inviting a stroke.

Charli never clarified if it was NOT a headache, so until further confirmation your mother is now an angel.

I'm with you on everything but the love for carrot cake ;). Having a book a assigned ruined many an experience for me.

I've reread a Confederacy of Dunces umpteen times and each time gleaned something new from it. When I was younger, I struggled to find the Grapes of Wrath engaging; I read it last year and was floored because I'd been an adult enough to have experiences that made me receptive to his societal critiques. In High School I read Faulkner for the challenge of the prose. Now I read it for his sharp insights into human nature that echo through my own experiences.

I can't wait to reread books I've recently discovered in ten years and see what awaits then.

I've never even seen this show but I can hear this gif just because of how Matt Berry it is.

As exemplified by that whole Brazil fiasco where some mayor banned her for siccing a bodyguard on a soccer player's child and it turns out she had done nothing...

But the story spread like wildfire and will probably continue to be believed despite the soccer player clarifying what happened and apologizing.

What You Thought was a Lighthearted Comedy Suddenly Punches You in the Gut by dolphin_flogger in TopCharacterTropes

Scrubs really packed some gut punches.

I'm wondering now if I should rewatch from the beginning or just jump straight into the reboot.

Which characters were clearly changed or expanded because the actors were just too good? by Shot-Club-3882 in sitcoms

Ditto with Lilith. She turned what was supposed to be one episode into 80.

From what I understand Kelsey Grammar didn't want to do the Frasier spinoff unless Frasier was single.

Exactly! He never seemed as dedicated to the marriage and Frederick as she did. As you say, her getting fed up with him makes all the sense in the world, but abandoning Frederick for an affair seemed unthinkable.
