A Puzzlement

I don’t get it. If Laura Schlessinger says “I’m Laura Schlessinger,” she gets no flak for it; everyone takes it in stride. But if I say the very same thing, people act like I’ve uttered some huge falsehood. Why the double standard?


Moffat Copies Moffat

The Frumious Cumberbatch

“Funny little human brains … How do you get around in those things?”

Doctor Who, “The Doctor Dances”

 

“Dear God, what is it like in your funny little brains? It must be so boring!”

Sherlock, “A Study in Pink”
