…and YOU get and open thread, and YOU get an open thread, and everybody gets an open thread for tonight’s event: BEYOND ATLANTIS!! The SS Sid Haig sets off for pearl-snatching adventure at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.
My question is: does anybody really try and determine if pearls are real vs. simulated by rubbing them on their teeth? Would it even work? Or is that just something movies and TV made up?
No no no, you’re supposed to eat them. If they come out looking the same, they’re real. If they dissolve in your digestive tract, they’re fake. Also maybe go to a hospital.
Fun (?) fact: Andrew WK is my riffing white whale. Every season I try to land at least one AWK joke in a final script, and every season I fail. SOMEDAY IT’LL HAPPEN.
