Title: I don't know which is worse...
Post by: Banjo Dude on March 17, 2011, 02:16:14 PM
Ok.  So, I'm watching the latest episode (on hulu, at least) of that stupid "Fringe" show...   

(Yeah, yeah, I know.  Look, I'm sure _you_ guys all have stupid guilty-pleasure type things, too.  Mine is horrible, awful, bad sci-fi TV.  I'd rather watch good, awesome, well-written SF TV, but every time someone comes out with such, it gets cancelled,  e.g. "Firefly," "Earth 2," and I heard good things about that "Space: Above and Beyond")


ANYway, the very first scene of the show has John Noble's character Walter taking a toke out of something that looks to be made of lab equipment, and telling a story to whatshisface, "Hurley" from "Lost," you know, the heavy-set fellow.  Can't remember his real name at the moment, Garcia, I think.

I don't know which is worse - that he's telling a story about having apparently slept with Yoko Ono, (Garcia: "What did HE say?" Noble: "What COULD he say? It was the '70s!")  or that he apparently used a ZIPPO to light his bong!  Oh, has he no sense of taste?


...

On reflection, I'm going to have to go with the Ono story;  One can always take another bong toke, but once you've told someone a shameful story, it's out there for good.
