muck_a_luckYou never imagined it was possible.
But in this post, I am going to spoil Season 8 of X-Files and an episode from season 1 of Father Ted, "Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest."
Yes, I am!
Husband: I wonder why they buried Mulder's mother in North Carolina? Anyway, they buried Mulder in Raleigh so he could be buried with his mother.
CK: Mulder was buried? I mean, I know he was dead. But he was buried? What did they do, dig him up?
Husband: I'm not sure exactly what happened. Apparently [insert X-Files backstory here, blah, blah]. So anyway, Skinner decided to exhume Mulder's grave. And it turned out he was till a little bit alive. He was exhibiting all of the symptoms of death - rigour mortis, some decomposition... Basically, he'd been drinking the Toilet Duck again!
CK: *laughs til she cries*
Husband: Oh, and I forgot. Dogget also died and came back to life in Season 8.
CK: Man, they can't keep them away from the Toilet Duck on the X-Files, can they?
And, ahem, the episode where we learn how Scully got preggers with Mulder's baby - titled, "Per Manum." Latin scholars out there? Husband translated for me. And yet, it took me five long minutes to realize why Husband was sniggering. I am pitiful.
Oh, and professional criticism of X-Files character. We learn, much earlier than Season 8, how the X-Files got their name. The original X-Files agent was classifying the cases under U for unexplained. But he ran out of space under U. His secretary says, I have plenty of space over here under X. Boooo! No good secretary would manager her files like that. If she had a bunch of air in the X area, she would just shift her files down to fill in part of the X area and make space in the U area. If she ran out of space under C, would she just put the C files under S or K, as applicable? That was dumb. Booo!
