I think it works here.


Certainly works here, but not in the context it was used by deftoned. But still, if he meant soapbox, it doesn't make any sense, since I wasn't ranting or making a speech about anything.

Exactly my point. 24 is a 'dumb' show. I'm not saying there's no entertainment value in it, I'm saying there's more value in other shows. It certainly isn't something worth peeing yourself or losing sleep over, as many people have.

The first few episodes are lined up on the DVR. I just love watching people make asses of themselves. Very entertaining in the most intellectually vacant of ways, but I'm not wetting myself in anticipation.
