Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have

Only when I'm losing.

 

It's funny this thread got bumped today, because Mrs. Stain and I are rewatching that show from the beginning and just watched that episode.

It's really amazing how good this show is. The plot lines are over the top, but the execution is wonderfully subtle. Besides the great Swanson lines, almost all of my favorite moments are just people's reaction faces. The best of all time was Andy's face when Mark fell into the pit back in the first (second?) season. Hilarious.

 

When I go back and watch early episodes, particularly from the six-episode first season, the show seems so unsettled. Ron Swanson wasn't really Ron Swanson. Andy Dwyer was downright unlikable. Leslie Knope was female Michael Scott, not the empowered and competent bureaucrat we love now. April Ludgate was reduced to a tiny role. And Mark Brendanawicz just sucked. Tom Haverford was the standout character early.

Anyway, to keep in line with the point of this thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=widD8jm-b-I&NR=1

"For what it's worth, I think you would make an incredible brunette. Ron Swanson."

 

"Now neither of you has a tiara. Problem solved."

Ron Swanson Justice.

 

When Chris takes Ron to the yoga studio, which sits next to a Greek restaurant. Ron thanks Chris for an experience that led him to be openminded.

Ron: "Now if you'll excuse me, but next door there's a spinning wheel of meat. I don't know what it is, but I'd like to try it."

 

Talking about fishing: "It's like yoga, but I get to kill something."
Ron's the best.

 

I for one am glad this thread got bumped. Now I know that I need to go watch this show from the beginning.

 

Skip Season 1.

Not only does this tread exist, but you deprived everyone of Ron's cake rant!
