Yeah I don't get my information from TV-shows, you shouldn't do that kid. I get my information from actual sources so I can spot anachronisms in tv-shows. Now that you'd understand since half the vocabulary went over your head by your own admission despite "the Gilded Age" being a literal and actual period of history.

I don't have a TV and I would never put some reality TV garbage in it, which you're clearly addicted to.

in the best historical context I can muster I would say...fuck off you arrogant piece of smugness.

Ooh, babby a lil' mad that I pointed out how little they know? :(

You guys who deny you watch television but constantly reference it are a dime a dozen. I think I heard that screed you wrote on an old "Fridays" skit. Try an original thought once in a while and show some authenticity. Ooohhh....I'm so mad and toddlerish right now! My "fuck off" still stands though. Bye sweetie.

I reference shows which I watch.

I haven't had a broadcast TV in my apartment for like 15-20 years, got tired of the ads and never went back.

I download shows I choose to watch, to watch when I so choose.

You really thought you had a gotcha there, didn't'ya?

I think I heard that screed you wrote on an old "Fridays" skit.

I've no idea what this means. Are you having a stroke? Should I alert the authorities?
