Boy oh boy is ol’ Birschy really looking forward to THIS one, you guys. A Glee ep that deals with teenage drinking? Yes, please, bartender, and make it a double! Let’s hope though, tonight’s particular concoction isn’t too strong. I don’t wanna be throwing up on my new Tretorns. OR, too weak for that matter, I gotta catch a sing songy buzz, at least! It’s all about moderation and I think they’ll be pouring that very concept down our throats tonight. So pull up a stool next to me, won’t you? And let’s toast at the start of this week’s

glee (Warning: Title screen does not actually occur here.)

Figgins wants to talk to Shue about the “epidemic” that’s happening at McKinley. Apparently, all of ‘em are showing up to class drunk and don’t know how to hold their liquor. To address this problem, Figgy makes it Alcohol Awareness Week and asks “Will-YUM” to have Nude Erections perform at an assembly. The song they sing will “highlight all the dangers of drinking.” And what song might THAT be, Figgins? I don’t think such a song exists. You could add a “dangers of alcohol” flavor to a number of songs though. Like Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel. I Shouldn’t Have Had That Last Cosmo.” Or, “Hit Me Baby One More Time… And I’m Outta Here.” by B. Spears. Huh? No more? Fine? Maybe I’ll sneak one in later…

In the teach lounge, Shue tries to bury the hatchet with Emma by offering a toaster and telling her he’s happy for her and Dr. Have Merrrrcy. Shue gives Emma a personal status report but Sue butts in and offers up her unsolicited perspective. In her version, Will’s going to become an alcoholic due to being broken hearted and eventually losing to Sue’s newly acquired glee club, Oral Intensity. Emma asks how Sue made THAT happen, and a flash back reveals her pushing the former director down the stairs. Oooh! How Showgirls of you, Sue…

Rachel is tinkering on the piano in the choir room, and Puck tries to charm her into having a party at her place while her dads are out of town on a Rosie O’Donnell cruise. She says “no.” Finn walks in and Puck splits. Finn is of course received a bit warmer than Puck, and even gets a friendly, yet secretly painful, hug. They agree to put their past aside and make things as comfortable as possible while they try and write a song together for Regionals. I mean Sectionals. No wait, I mean, uhhh, Nationals? Rachel wants feedback on the song she’s been working on. It’s called “Headband.” And it’s about her headband. Finn tells her it sucks. Always glad to hear one of them, in this case, Rachel actually sing though. Even if it was about… wait for it… a headband. Finn suggests that maybe she needs to live a little in order to write about more exciting things in life. This inspires her to have that party at her place after all and even try alcohol… Don’t do it, Rachel! Your friends SAY they’ll help you clean up the next day but they don’t…

“Santitney” and “Artcedes,” walk through the halls on all four of their various communication devices. They decide to patch in Puck to determine if putting up with Rachel Berry is worth going to a party that will have alcohol. Puck guarantees the wine coolers and that’s all it takes. The party is on… What I didn’t understand is why Artie felt the need to tell Mercedes “Tell ‘em yourself, I ain’t no pony express” when Mercedes asks to relay a message, AS Mecerdes is pushing Artie down the hall! Oh, yeah, you’re right. Just an excuse to have Mercedes call in the on the party line, but STILL, Please STOP with the Ebonics, Artie… And don’t bite the hand that’s pushing you down the hall, either.

Glee, the comic book.

The glang trickles into Rachel’s Oscar den for her big party. Even Kurt and Blaine show up. They start to trickle back out though, when Rachel hands out “two drink tickets each so no one gets out of hand.” Puck says they’ll stay if she lets him break into the liquor cabinet. With Finn’s encouragement and wanting to live for song writing purposes, she does… Lots of drinks later, Finn, who’s the DD, gets annoyed at Rachel for being clingy. He points out all the different types of drunk girls to her, like, Santana’s “hysterical girl drunk,” or Brittany’s “stripper girl drunk,” to name a few, and then tells her she’s annoying clingy lovey dovey drunk girl. This prompts Rachel to shout “Spin the bottle!” They didn’t go over the drunk dude generalizations though… There’s the “let’s kick someone’s ass drunk dude.” There’s the “homosexual tendencies drunk dude.” But my absolute favorite is the “get plowed and take off your pants drunk dude…” Those all exist. And you know it… Personally, I like to do daring things. It’s never a good turn out.

Anyway, everyone is having a grand ol’ time spinning the bottle except for Kurt. Rachel’s spin lands on Blaine and they seem to have a very passionate kiss. It goes so well, in fact, Rachel and Blaine sing The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me.” You guys, I loved this. It was clubby, sure, but I loved it. I love this song in the first place, though, and at least they did a little something different with it by giving it a douchey dance club groove. I could even get over the karaoke over the top drunk thing happening cause I liked the song so much…

Glee.S02E14.Hdtv.Xvid-Lol.[Vtv].Avi-5
Those aren’t microphones.

The next day, Burt Hummel walks into Kurt’s room asking his son for advice about eggs. He finds Kurt at his vanity mirror applying facial lotion but he also finds Blaine waking up in Kurt’s bed, wondering where he is and what happened. You got yourself a new fag hag last night, Blaine! That’s what happened!

The glang sport sunglasses and complain about their hangovers walking through the halls of McKinley. Artie comes through with a thermos of Bloody Marys to help them feel better. Of course, he does so in his wannabe speak. I wish at least he would dress the part, too, if they’re going to endow him with the white chocolate thing. It would somehow make him own it more, ya know? It’d be better if he had a cockney accent though.

Glee.S02E14.Hdtv.Xvid-Lol.[Vtv].Avi-1
Ello ello! Owz about a bit the ol’ bloody for yee?

The Marys launch Artie and Puck into singing Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It” all the way into the auditorium. By the time they get there, Mercedes joins in to complete the trio. Believe or not you guys, THIS is one glee song that actually has LESS auto-tune than the original! I have to admit though, even with T Pain in there, I like the original, you guys. I must say, I don’t mind listening to this while I scope out a joint and sip on a beverage, in my pretend fantasy club life. And guess what, I thought the Glee version was BETTER than the original. Don’t get mad, Jamie Foxx! I’ve seen you on American Idol and you are CUHRAZY!

Will was totally into the rehearsal, and he even applauds them for their fine acting ability as drunks, but he thinks the song glorifies alcohol. The tipsy glang argues a bit but Will tells them to come to glee the next day with their thinking caps on to figure out what song they’re actually going to sing for the assembly. I hope its another one of my guilty pleasure songs, cause they’re two for two so far.

In the teachers lounge, the Beiste tells Shue he needs do something other than working out to loosen up. He’s all stressed cause of Emma and Sue, so the Beiste suggests they go to a honkey tonk bar the following night. Then, she stuffs an entire chicken plus two whole apples into her mouth and swallows them whole. (Okay, she didn’t.)

Sipping on rose, listening to Carol King, Rachel calls Blaine and asks him out. She catches him while he’s out to coffee with Kurt… Blaine says “yes,” and Kurt points out that Blaine would only be leading Rachel on because he’s gay. Blaine thinks that maybe he’s “bi.” Kurt argues that really doesn’t exist for boys and gives him a hard time about it. Blaine takes offense and leaves… It’s a shame that bisexuality has no validity, especially for men. I think that there ARE bisexual men but there is societal pressure to make a dichotomous choice. This saddens me… Maybe one day we’ll grow up and think it’s just as manly to have experimented, than to have not… That being said, there’s no way Blaine’s straight.

At the honkey tonk with the Bieste, Will does a bunch of shots and rides a mechanical bull and does all sorts of honkey tonk stuff. I’m afraid Mr. Morrison isn’t as good at acting like he’s drunk, comparatively, to his younger counter parts, though… Well, whoop dee doo, looky here, ol’ Goody Two Shues is being called up onto stage to sing a song with the Bieste. They sing “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” by George Thorogood. Will ruined it. The Beiste saved it. She can sing lower than Shue! And she’s a heck of lot cooler, too…

Glee.S02E14.Hdtv.Xvid-Lol.[Vtv].Avi-2
“One Bourbon. One Scotch. One Beer. TWO DUIs!” Hey Oh! Told you I’d in sneak another!

Kurt’s helping Rachel clean up after the party to get the scoop post Rachel/Blaine date. She tells Kurt they didn’t kiss but that they had the most gloriously gay old time… Kurt tries to convince Rachel that she’s singing up the wrong tree. This prompts her to prove Kurt wrong by attempting to recreate their passionate kiss. Kurt’s eyes get all wide, the kind of wide that say’s “Game on, bitch.”

The Beiste makes sure that Shue gets into his apartment safely. The have a heart to heart about the reality of drinking even though she’s got a cab outside on the clock. The Bieste breaks it down logically and says they can’t stop teens from drinking but they can educate them and make sure they’re safe about it when they do. And that’s the moral of the story. YAY! Oh, wait. It’s still going. Shue is still not doing a very good job at being really drunk. He gives a bunch of papers he has to grade an “A+,” and supposedly drunk dials Emma. He fake slurs his way through saying he knows she’s taken but that they need to talk…

The next day, a fake hungover Shuester sees Emma in the halls and apologizes for his call. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Enter Sue Sylvester. It was SHE who received his call and tries to talk him into an AA meeting. He won’t go and Sue says they’ll have to do it the hard way. Not sure what that means yet. Sixty-nine?

Burt and Kurt are having some father son bonding time. When Burt’s dish doesn’t rise properly Kurt scolds him for it. But weeEEEeee know what this is really about don’t we??? Kurt tells his dad about Blaine and Rachel. Burt asks his son to not have sleepovers with boys. Kurt explained that nothing happened. Burt says he saw Brokeback Mountain and doesn’t know what happened in the tent??? I remember what happened in the tent, Burt. EVERYONE remembers what happened in the tent. I also remember thinking it’s too bad those cowboys didn’t have any lube… Anyway, then Kurt asks his dad to study up in case he has any questions about gay sex…? Does anyone else think that’s a bit much to ask? Even for TV land that’s a bit much to ask!

At the assembly, Figgins lets the kids down easy and tells them that Kittie Dukakis won’t be speaking at the assembly. Meanwhile, the glang is in the back doing shots nervous about performing a Ke$ha song… Not sure why though. It’s just talking… Oh GROSS. They’re doing “Tik Tok.” It sort of works though cause Brittany is singing. Still, I hate this song. There’s something different and slower about the glee version, too. I didn’t think you could make this song any lamer but I guess you can. THEN Brittany does the splits and it makes having to listen to this worth it! Weeee!

Glee.S02E14.Hdtv.Xvid-Lol.[Vtv].Avi-3
What was I saying?

Now Britt is projectile vomiting on Rachel?

Glee.S02E14.Hdtv.Xvid-Lol.[Vtv].Avi-4

Okay maybe now I will like this song. Santana throws up too! I was hoping everyone would like in Stand By Me but they cap it off with a “Everybody drink responsibly” from Brittany.

The following day over the loudspeaker, Sue talks about the events of the assembly and how it’s all Shue’s fault. Then she plays his message. Emma hears and actually seems turn on by it. Either that or she was in awe at how over the top the drunk slurring was.

The whole glang is crammed into Figgins’ office, afraid of the consequences of the assembly. But Figgy only ends up congratulating them on their special effects and musical comedy skills. They even get coupons for half off fro yo cause they scared the kids of McKinley High sober…

In the choir room, Shue scolds everyone for what really happened. He tells them he’s decided to stop drinking all together and asks them to sign a no drinking policy until after Nationals. They agree to sign it cause their touched by Shue including his cell phone number in case they DO get back on the wagon.

At the coffee shop, Kurt preps Rachel for disappointment while she puckers up, waiting for another kiss with Blaine. He walks in right on queue and before he can barely get out a hello, Rachel plants a big one on the unsuspecting lad. Blaine immediately thanks her for helping him to realize he’s 100% gay. Then he asks her to hold his place in line cause he has to go the bathroom and Kurt walks up to console her. She doesn’t need it though cause now she finally has her inspiration to write a song… Awww. Everybody wins. Except us. Nooot really. I liked this ep! Well, the first half of it anyway…

Alright darlins’, thanks for sticking with me.

Talk at you next week.

    This is the worst anti-drinking PSA episode since Buffy’s “Beer Bad.” God, this show gets on my last nerve.

    I don’t know why this show brings out the parent in me instead of the drunk lush I tend to be . . . but alas, I kind of hated it! The songs were okay, and I personally was glad to see them do Kesha (or Ka cent ha-as my friend and I joke) I’ve heard both her albums and have lots on Itunes, and I honestly love it! I don’t get the hate, but there ya go . . . she’s one artist who sounds good Auto-tuned . . .

    Natch I love Britt, and she’s awesome, and Mercedes can kill it, etc, and “Don’t you want me” blah blah . . . your point with the Eubonics Birsch, yeah, gotta admit I cringe some when the mainly white cast is copping all those terms–be they written or not . . .. it’s sad to me how us white folk are constantly stealing anything cool in language, dance, music, fashion etc from trend setting non-white folk, but never paying them the proper respect for innovation! And Lawd knows, by the time us folk are blinging and no u di-in’t-ing it’s a tired trend anyhoo. Sadly I use every tired term in the book, including groovy, peachy and keen . .. . so why do I think anyone would care . . . LOL!!

    I also cringe at the screen grab of Goody–ugh! That song kind of sucks, what a dull chorus melodically-I think there must be quite a few drunk homages in the country vaults, but whatev! I thought the line dancing was fun, and I love Bieste.

    I’m tired of Sue’s violence too . . . the world gasps in horror when the bully locker-checks Kurt, but Sue shoves people down stairs and chucks people regularly . . . . again, what ev–I didn’t expect it to be consistent or anything, I just wish the one compelling topic they addressed didn’t have so much hypocrisy around it. And playing that call, or that Goody would call a married woman in the middle of the night and propose a bang-up of a good time–just hate the whole thing! Ugh!!!

    I should go take me geritol now!

    It was crazy how much Britney looked like Kesha. Britney has an amazing body and is the best female dancer on the show (mike chang being the best male). They should do a dance off, that would be great an no auto-tune needed.

    I might piss people off with this, but I was totally on Kurt’s dad’s side. Kurt was the one that turned it into something gay or not. I think Burt would have had the same reaction if it was a girl in Kurt’s bed (and Kurt was straight). Kurt is still in high school. And yes, asking his dad to learn about gay sex is a little odd, but is actually a good thing. It was just in the manor that Kurt asked, so high-and-mighty.

    @carol — I agree with you. This wasn’t an “I was having my friend sleep over” — this was “I was having someone I’m attracted to and want to boink sleep over”. Something tells me “just a friend” wouldn’t have been in the same bed as him. Kurt was pretty much a dick about the whole thing (but what’s new?)

    I’m torn on him asking about the gay sex thing, though (Full disclosure, I’m a straight guy, so I’m looking at it more from the dad’s perspective). I understand what he meant, but, honestly, what could his dad REALLY teach him that he learned off a web site or from watching a video? It would be like a lifelong gay guy (who had never been with a woman) teaching his straight son about sex by watching Jenna Jamison vids (“Now when you finish, do it on her face — apparently, all women love that”)

    His dad has been ultra-cool about everything since the beginning, and I kind of think he was telling his ultra-cool dad “watch and read about this stuff that makes you uncomfortable just because I’m being a selfish jerk”.

    I’m not saying his dad shouldn’t be able to give him advice about love and relationships (which I think are universal), and even know about the “social and legal” side of his son being gay (and problems he’ll run into because of it, and things he could do, as a parent, to support his son). But there’s nothing that he could teach Kurt about from the part of it he doesn’t (and couldn’t) understand.

    I was the “let a guy stick a safety pin through my cheek in the men’s room of a gay club” drunk girl. I was also the “talk about how much Whitney Houston sucks REALLY LOUDLY while slamming boilermakers” drunk girl. So my years at UF were basically one giant “don’t drink” PSA.

    So, high school kids: Don’t drink. People WILL remember the girl sitting on a sink in a men’s room while some guy sticks a safety pin through her cheek.

    And my gline of the week was (in response to Figgins saying there’s an epidemic at McKinley)

    Will (terrified): Head lice?

    I’m a happy drunk. I have a friend who’s a quiet drunk, which is hilarious — the more drunk he gets, the more quiet he gets (with a grin on his face). It’s weird until you get used to it, and realize he’s actually having a great time.

    This episode was one long commercial sponsored by the American Alcoholic Beverages Association. They succeeded only in making drinking look like a blast. And it turns your vomit blue? Sign me up!

    The Thorogood song works because it’s really all about his guitar playing — take that away, add in a whitebread singer like Shue, and you’ve got… not much. I enjoyed Bieste though.

    As a dad, it’s unlikely I’ll get into the details about sex with my kids. Figuring out that mess is part of the fun, don’t want to take that away from them.

    On the other hand, I’ll speak to them about the value of having real, true emotions for the people you have sex with, the need for respect for yourself and your sexual partners, and, of course, the importance of being safe. And, obviously, none of this is specifically hetero or homo.

    And yeah, I too will be really uncomfortable if my kids start fucking in my house. Fortunately for them, the back seat in my car folds down.

    But no, I won’t tell them about any of the idiot (and downright nasty) things I have done.

    Funnily enough, the best song of the show was the Tick Tock popfest. Of course, part of what made it great was Britney, and not that horrid Kedollarsignha.

    I also like it that Santana’s the sloppy drunk type. The thing, that whole segment will probably inspire kids to drink, as they wonder: What kind of drunk am I?

    I absolutely loved this episode! So much so that I watched it 3 times!

    1) Kurt’s dad was right but Kurt’s a high school kid…they don’t rationalize beyond their perspective. Bygones.

    2) Britney’s performance was GREAT!

    3) Gline of the week for me was Rachel screaming “IT TASTES LIKE PIG!”

    Did you know that George Thorogood was voted “Least likely to succeed” in high school.

    Kurt’s father was very reasonable so I was confused by Kurt’s hissyfit.
    I didn’t understand how he wasn’t seeing his father’s point. I doubt Glee writers were going for the Kurt’s just being a manipulative child angle. Too subtle and true to life.
    I asked myself if I would be upset if my daughter slept in the same bed with…
    Her gay male friend (no)
    Her gay female friend (no…keep in mind my daughter is not gay to my knowledge)
    Her hetero female friend (no)
    Her hetero male friend that she is attracted to (ding ding ding)

    I like Bieste’s character more and more.

    Nikki-first the blood, then the boys, all come sniffin’ around like dogs in heat!

    That dress was . . . an exaggeration . . . to say the least, but oh how I love Carrie!

    I find Kurt to be the young gay kid that the producers and writers wished they were, you know, if they could do it all again, they would . . .

    There’s no way in frickin’ hell anyone doesn’t know what two guys can get up to . . . for heavens sake, and tho Brokeback didn’t show that much detail–for heaven’s sake, all that grunting . . . give me a break. What else could possibly be happening. I get it that Burt is not the most savvy at the gay stuff, but that’s going way too far, and dumb. My impression was Kurt was asking Burt to join P-Flag or something, to educate himself out of his ridiculous ignorance, and myself, I didn’t see it as so much to ask.

    Personally, it rang of “she protests too much” . . . is Burt trying to cover his secret gay identity. Does he need me to come and teach him the ways of the gays . . . coz I will! I don’t mind, really . . . it would be my community service for all ; )

    But, the thought of my nieces having sexy times makes me cringe all over, so I can just imagine how it must be for a parent.

    Blaine was fully clothed, BTW, and hung over, didn’t look particularly post coital to me . . .

    @Nashuaf — I think sheesh has it spot-on. This show isn’t necessarily concerned with having the ‘teenagers’ act “like teenagers”, so I don’t think they’re starting now.

    Unfortunately, like the rest of the characters, Kurt is an archetype they decided on (confused gay kid coming to terms with himself and the world), and they seem to write to that archetype, rather than to a growing “person” whenever it suits them (and whenever they don’t have a broadway number for him to sing).

    Unfortunately, when it _doesn’t_ suit them, he seems to act pretty normal, so when he acts like “confused gay kid”, he just comes off like a petulant jerk.

    Something tells me that someone who acts as mature as he does “most of the time” wouldn’t suddenly be all “is it because I’m GAYYY!?!?!” when it comes to his supportive dad telling him not to have a sleepover with someone he likes in a “more than friends” kind of way.

    (Hell, Burt didn’t even tell him not to have friends over — just to clear it with him first. That’s pretty much “cool dad of the year” material there. Kurt really IS a dick!)

    Also, I thought it was COMPLETELY ridiculous that they all had such intense hangovers TWO days later, and that all of a sudden they were drinking in the hallway and doing shots behind the gym curtain/stage thing. So absurd. This show irritates me, but I just keep on watching, lol. I pretty much just watch for the one-liners at this point.

    Didn’t Burt even say, “I wouldn’t be cool with Finn having a girl sleep over…” or some such thing? Maybe I just imagined that. The thing is the inconsistency between mature/adult-like Kurt and whiny, insecure kid who doesn’t like his parents laying down the law is very authentically “teen”. But then, I may be giving the writers WAY too much credit, as they really missed the mark on EITHER being an anti-drinking PSA OR making fun of anti-drinking PSAs.

    No, Burt did point out that if Finn had a girl in his bedroom he’d be just as upset. Plus, the thing that initially set Burt off was that Blaine crashed there because he was too drunk to drive home.

    So Burt was not being “homophobic” in his anger with Kurt’s behavior. He was being a father who was angry that his son was being so reckless. Kurt acted like a spoiled brat, but that’s how Kurt always reacts to Burt not giving in to everything he wants, so it was consistent with the portrayal of their family dynamic.

    @ Juddfan: Didn’t Burt say he fell asleep during Brokeback, and that’s why he didn’t know what happened in the tent?

    Kurt was out of line, but hey, it’s glee. And Rachel’s dress looked more like something you’d see an “orthodox” mormon wear…or some heinous church dress from the 70s. Yeesh.

    All the LOL’s in this episode were from Rachel. That stupid headband song was hilarious. And her party dress. She really does do Librarian Chic. The Ke-dollarsign-ha cracked me up too. I’m easy like that.

    Finn got on my nerves this episode. He’s the one who encouraged Rachel to drink and then gets all snotty about it? Anyone who has been sober when everyone else is drunk or vice-versa knows how annoying it can be. Get over yourself!

    I really didn’t like the way Kurt reacted to his Dad. If Glee does anything right, it’s very good at the father-gay son talks and Kurt was SO in the wrong here. His Dad made the perfect point – he wouldn’t let Finn sleep with a girl even if they weren’t doing anything. Plus, Kurt tends to get really arrogant about things, whether it’s orientation with his Dad and Blaine or religion with Mercedes. That makes me like him a lot less.

    I’m kinda upset that they didn’t go for the Bi storyline with Blaine. It would have provided great fodder for his “relationship” with Kurt, and it is a valid option. I agree that forcing someone to choose one side or the other is sad. Things aren’t always black or white. There’s this thing known as “middle ground”.

    I like Brittany, but she was so autotuned on Tik Tok that I was really unimpressed.

    I love that Bieste and Will are buddies. It’s cute. Even when they kissed (again!).

    I wondered how they were gonna skirt the whole song-about-the-perils-of-drinking thing, cause one does NOT exist. I don’t know anyone, even the lightest of lightweights, who is hungover two days later. But I liked the songs they DID choose, so I guess it went over well.

    @Nashuaf She was saying “It tastes like pink!” But seriously, that was the Gline of the week. Either that or Kurt saying “Bisexual is a term gay guys use in high school when they want to hold hands with girls and feel like a normal person for a change.”

    Kurt was just being a whiny teenager, no matter how reasonable a parent is being, they will fine something to get mad about. Trust me it’s only been 3 years since I was teenager. And actually like how Glee’
    s PSAs are very obvious. I hate when people try to be subtle and beat around the bush when comes to talking about sex, alcohol, or drugs. But that might be because of my mother, who once told me “Alright when the boys pullin’ on those titties, they goin’ start sagging.” So yeah I’m very use to obvious straight forward messages… no matter how embarrassing.

    I’ve been pulling on my wife’s titties for nearly 20 years now. They’re doing just fine, thanks.

    @Sag, that’s the best advice I’ve EVER heard. :) I shall use this on my children, one day.

    @Sagi, that’s awful! Almost as bad as Carrie’s mom. I’m pretty sure the only boy that causes tits to sag is Newton ;)

    I took Kurt’s statements on bisexuality as teenaged ignorance. Hopefully that isn’t the actual view of the writers. Bisexuality isn’t just experimentation… bisexuality does actually exist, in adulthood even! for both men and women.

    @Melange,lol it wasn’t really awful. It was pretty obvious she was just trying to embarrass us. That was when my sister was in high school and I was in middle school. I guess she was trying to scare us and keep us from having sex while we were in high school. Now that I’m in college she has told me “When you start wondering what’s going on in his pants and he starts blowing in your ear. You tell him to wait until you go to doctor.” At least that advice was slightly less embarrassing. *sigh* I love my mama.

    I loved the first half of the episode. I thought Blaine and Rachel did a really good job on Dont You Want Me. The characters getting drunk was hilarious. I actually liked Glee’s version of Blame It better than Jamie Fox’s. No offense Jamie!! But Santana and her one liners throughout the episode cracked me up. Besides the bird call there were 3 that caught me.

    I smelled a whiff of hairspray in the girls bathroom and went full Linda Blair

    You know what? A reminder. I owns that guppy mouth. Those trouty Aerosmith lips belong to me. You know what this is not? Hey, honies? It’s not a Big Red commercial. No me gusta.

    And last but not least to Mr Shue Oh, you’re one to talk. How about you crack a Four Loko, Count Boozy Von Drunk-a-Ton?

    I love me some Santana!!

    Well, this may be too late, but Zbird, I believe he said, with waving hands,
    “I know something went down in the tent, I’m just not sure what”

    it was something to that affect.

    On the Bi topic . . . there are gay guys in High School who use the Bi tag, but I’ve noticed it is so they can do gay stuff without calling it gay. Could this be a case of an unreliable narrator in Kurt!? I believe I was “bi” for a year, before I had the nerve to be fully gay (and I think that was mainly to protect my former childhood sweetheart from the entire storm of emotions that the whole topic aroused . . . natch she ended up being a lesbian . . . sigh . . . )
