Developmental Trauma

Arrested Development 

1) The best show you never saw. The Emmy Award winning show which survived for about two and a third seasons before being cancelled by Fox. Failed due to being far too smart for a mass audience who would rather watch Pamela Anderson "act" on Stacked.
2) Any act of getting completely screwed despite undeniable skills.
1) Fox jumped the shark when they gave the "Arrested Development" timeslot to "Prison Break."

2) When Michael Bluth was repeatedly passed over in favor of his amusing, inept, "illusionist" brother, Gob for leadership of the Bluth Compay, he was given the AD treatment.

arrested development 

IMO, the funniest and most well written show on TV.
Buy the DVD's to fully grasp the greatness of this show.
From Arrested Development:
"Lucille: Well, apparently, mood-altering medication leads to street drugs. That's what this very handsome young doctor said on the Today Show.
Michael: That was Tom Cruise, the actor.
Lucille: They said he was some kind of scientist..."
(if you don't get the above quote, don't bother watching the show)

Arrested Development 

Only the best show EVER to hit TV!
A new cult classic, like Seinfeld and Office Space
Did you see Jason Bateman in Arrested Development last night? He was arguing with GOB so much!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
