        Ah gotcha. I was getting a little worried about you. Better work on my reading comprehension. lol -- nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 23, 09:13

  - C'mon...shaking his hand cordially doesn't make him a Trumper. - Inigo Sep 23, 07:32 4
    - Correct. Unlike say Jim Caviezel. Whom I ditched the final 5 unwatched episodes of Person of Interest over. And any of his very limited body of work - Jovian Sep 23, 07:37 3
      - POE ending was great though. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 23, 07:41
      - Caviezel thinks pizzagate and killing babies is real. He's not dealing with reality. -- nm - Inigo Sep 23, 07:39 1
        
        Oh I know. Hes a madman. Just kills me that I cant watch Count of Monte Cristo any more. As that movie is just great. -- nm - Jovian Sep 23, 07:40

    - yuck -- nm - mud Sep 23, 07:32

      - ahhhhh, I wasnt sure that was a thing. Or if characters were just giving him a shortened nickname. -- nm - Jovian Sep 23, 07:38 1
        
        The creator of the show wanted to give him this name to, in his words, ground the character. I don't agree with it doing that or - Krusty Sep 23, 08:33

  - It looks like trash of the highest order. -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 07:04 1
