    Isn't Josh Wheaton behind the new show Tollhouse?

    I watched the first eighteen pilots. It seems to tell the story of cyborg mail-order brides (or possibly zombie strippers) making cookies in an abandoned law firm (maybe it's a hotel lobby).

    The story is a little hard to follow as much of the audio is either muffled or distorted. This seems to be the choice by the show's director, Tin Mimear, to portray the confusion inherent in today's impersonal, overly-technologized baking industry. "What, huh? What did you say... Preheat the what?" poignantly asks the totally hawt protaganist, Eggo.

    Tollhouse has a great deal of potential and is bound to start developing some sort of plot or at least audible dialouge. Wheaton is like a total genius and I luv him 4eva!!!

    As a fully certified Grammar/Spelling ChronoNazi^tm I'd like to point out that the acronym on the resplendent Holo-Banner in the breakroom actually stands for "You Haz Willom Are Fale". You see? It's the use of the trans-pluperfect Nth person erectile tense often confuses even the most seasoned time-traveling demotivational speaker.

    @Grey_Area: Dangnabit, please ignore the first word of the last sentence in the above comment as I tear up my official Grammar/Spelling ChronoNazi^tm card. *sigh* I looked stupid in the official hat anyway.


    This was a most expludementary example of Kronk Burger. I am continually amazed by these painstakingly-researched pieces of absurdist wit. Thank you Charlie, for brightening our otherwise painfully humdrum excuses for lives.
