That's the thing though, there really weren't that many Hermes smokes weed jokes" before the new season. In fact I can't remember any but I'm open to the fact that I might be forgetting some. On the other hand almost every episode in this half season has had one and none of them have really been that funny.

The Jamaican Olympic bobsled team could probably tell you some, but they all got detained at the airport.

What about "I've smoked a lot of paper in my day" from Lethal Inspection? I liked that one.

I do agree that they're doing the weed jokes a bit too often. And using Scruffy a little too much.

Maybe weed jokes are this half-season's Scruffy. he hasn't really been making jokes this year.

I like to sneak Futurama quotes into normal conversation. For example I was helping my dad make his new kitchen's work top, and he told me to get some clamps. I got them and ask him if I should give him the clamps

It's not really an f, just a really long s. ſ Taxachuſſets. I'm guessing none of you have ever explored the buildings from colonial America? Just look around at the different signs especially on churches.

It's the medial S. it's not used at the beginning or end of the word.

Edit: apparently it was used at the beginnings of words.

I always thought it was just used in the middle, but wikipedia says also sometimes at the beginning? But anywhere I've ever seen it, it's only when used in the middle of the word. So I think this episode was wrong. I've been to Williamsburg, Philadelphia and Boston and all those places, and you only see ſ in the middle of a word. Like Jeſus Chriſt. Which my sister I had fun with when we went to churches asking who Jefus Chrift was.

Guys, it's used like a ligature. It's only used in an "ss" combination, and was designed to save space. It's related to the German ß.

http://designorati.com/articles/t1/...ay-ess-tset.php



E: VVV Yes, I know, it doesn't replace both. ß is a glyph that replaces both letters, but what looks like "fs" is the same overall construct, just using two separate characters.

Greek also has two 's' characters, one is used only when it's the last letter in the word. I don't actually know why this is, though.

Beartato! I just became aware of the vast speed at which we are hurtling through the universe! Now it's all I can think about!

Just got around to watching the episode and I have to say that it was excellent. I didn't find it particularly hilarious (still many, many good jokes though) but I found the plot and pacing great. There just hasn't been enough entertaining group interaction in a while, so this one knocked it out of the park for me.
