Well, I liked it. It's short, which is one thing it has going for itself.

Do you all find Stonestreet on Modern Family over the top caricature?

I think 30 minutes is a good format for that show.

Do you all find Stonestreet on Modern Family over the top caricature?

Nope insofar as I know people like that. Of course, I don't actually watch Modern Family as I don't find it to be worth my time to watch.

Do you all find Stonestreet on Modern Family over the top caricature?

Not really. The show is a comedy and all characters are exaggerated (*cough* Sophia Vergara *cough*) and, as garbon points out, I know gay guys who are like that. I think it is a sympathetic show and I don't agree with the "gay blackface" comments that have come from some LGBT quarters.

Meh. On the phone, people guess that I'm a woman, fairly often.

So, one day before last New Year's Eve the fuses in my apartment blew out. I started panicking as this was one day before a party I was hosting and called my dad and started screaming how he needs to get some handyman here quickly because nothing works and this is just INSANE. Dawid calmly took the phone away from me and explained to my dad what the situation was and what was needed. Later, when we were waiting for the handyman to arrive, Dawid had this idea that we should remove the safety thing from the fuse board and check each fuse switch individually. It didn't work. Later, when the handyman arrived he told me that we were lucky the entire board fried before we tried the Dawid's idea, because if it was operational at the time, we would have probably caused a fire.

I need to befriend a lesbian.

Lesbians are house painters, not electricians.

Then I am doomed.

LOL, "Dawid".

[garbon]

Maybe you could talk to a therapist about changing said behaviors.

What could possibly go wrong?

Also, when Fawlty Towers was produced, unemployment in Spain was historically low.

I want jokes to be factually correct! 

I should've referred to my economic statistics first.  Sorry.
