Veep S01 E03 to E08

Added on by C. Maoxian.

The show is funny but it's sort of cruel humor; I can't binge watch it for that reason.  And they swear a lot.  I'm not a prude, but here's the curse count for episode eight:

fuckin', fuckin', cock nugget, lame-ass, finger fuckin', bullshit, piss, ass, fuck, f'd in the b'hole, fucking, fuckin', motherfuckin', get the fuck out, hell, fuck, fuckin', shitfinger, ass, fuck, shit, fucking, fucking, fuckin', fuckin', fuck, fuckin', fucking, fuck, prick, ass, fuckin', fuck off, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, christ, hell, shit, shit, fuckin', fuckin', fucked, fuckin', fucking.

Pretty impressive for a half hour long show, and I like and should use "shitfinger" more often.  I once did a curse count for an episode of the Sopranos, but it was lost on the old WordPress site.

Jack Shafer on losing his job, and the state of things | Capital New York  

Shafer: I thought I was lucky at Slate, where they treated my like a prince. But at Reuters, they treated me like a king, and I had a great run. I don’t fit their game anymore, and I’m completely understanding of that. They’re treating me well on the way out. So there’s no reason for tears. It’s our business, right?

Movies Watched -- The Heat

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Weird one ... a comedy but not a conventional comedy ... Bullock plays a straitlaced FBI agent and the fatty slob is a local Boston cop, they become partners ... the German boy deep within me has always been attracted to Bullock, she has a great bod and is about ten years older than me ... anyway, the movie is two hours long which is at least a half hour too long. There are some funny bits, odd bits, bits that don't really work, and of course the overarching story is dumb ... I'd give it a miss unless you're trapped on a long distance bus in India with nothing else to watch.

I would stay in that crazy industry for the next twenty-five years ... As the sole Westerner in the company, with the best understanding of foreign ways and the most polished English, I applied those advantages to help each company reel in more business. ... Aside from this innocent mischief there were often favors and tasks I had to take care of that weren’t altogether legal and better left unsaid."

SAE - Cornell - Robert T. Dean '49  

"In the late '70s and early '80s, Bob bailed out the house more than one time with financial help. He also developed a plan that would ensure continued success for SAE at Cornell. More importantly, he sold that plan to the CU administration at a time when they had little interest. Out of these negotiations came an unprecedented agreement: a three-way relationship between the active brotherhood, the alumni association, and Cornell that set the framework for a partnership that has endured to this day."

Dom Joly: How do you tell a six-year-old that Tintin was a bit dodgy? - Dom Joly - Columnists - The Independent  

"In one scene, having failed to get a couple of bullets through a rhinoceros's armour, he climbs up a tree, hangs down and drills a hole into the rhino's back before inserting a stick of dynamite into the poor beast and blowing it to smithereens. The trigger-happy reporter also slaughters herds of impala, monkeys, lions, crocodiles and elephants, and kicks a cheetah up the arse. I'm pretty sure the WWF won't be making him a roving ambassador for its cause any time soon." 

THAT'S WHY WE LOVE HIM, OLD BOY
