	6:07pm Mia: Vera Shetland Yes, Verlander!
	6:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dial carefully, indeed. How many have times I called 210-209-9368 by mistake.

	6:12pm Deano de los Muertos: I thought
	6:13pm Deano de los Muertos: Nvm, I’m just thinking of the Simpsons spoofing
	6:13pm i̺k̺e: Did you say that you start streaming and then you can't stop? That sounds like compulsive behavior. internetaddictsanonymous.org

	6:19pm i̺k̺e: Twin Peaks S1 is amazing, S2 is pretty good until episode 9 and then falls off extremely sharply from episode 10 through about 19 or 20. Then it picks up a bit again. Then season 3 (The Return) is often slow but interesting and supremely weird.
