The United Way parody was awesome. I kind of saw that coming in terms of a sketch I figured they'd do, but when he nails that kid with the ball, then makes him go sit in the port-a-potty? Awesome.

@PQ Crash: the intentions were pragmatic, but it's moved on to existential since no one actually means it when they say it.

@being sven: About a dozen years ago, I knew a woman about 10 years my senior that, in her youth, would drive up to NYC from PA each Saturday to see the show and go to the after-party. When I knew her, she was a ravishing 30 year old with thick red hair, thin lips, and curves to die for. When she was closer to barely legal, I'm pretty sure she did the entire early 90s cast.

She also went to weekly UFO meetings and had all the works of Sid and Marty Krofft on videotape. They're not all perfect.

I don't think that was a skirt- those were "formal shorts" (a.k.a. the scourge of fashion, along with Uggs and leggings). If you can call gold lame formal.

That being said, I think she made it work somehow. Probably because that color blue looks great on her.

@The Great Barstoolio: Mortality is a rare consequence of chlorine gas exposure. During the first battle at Ypres, 800 deaths were reported and almost 3000 personnel were incapacitated out of 15,000 troops. A study of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I revealed a total of 1843 patients exposed to chlorine gas with an average admission time of 60 days.
Morbidity from moderate and severe exposures is typically caused by noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. This may occur within 2-4 hours of exposure to moderate chlorine concentrations (25-50 ppm) and within 30-60 minutes of severe exposures (>50 ppm).

Chlorine has been implicated as a cause of reactive airway disease syndrome (RADS). Patients may have bronchial hyperreactivity after inhalational injury. It has been reported to occur after a single, high-dose exposure or after repeated low-level exposure. Most exposures, however, do not result in long-term effects. Patients with pre-existing obstructive disease can have a worsening of symptoms after chlorine exposure.
