if i read/hear “nuked the fridge” one more time…

dear internets:

stop trying to make “nuked the fridge” part of our lexicon.  it’s retarded.  we already have a term for the phenomenon you’re trying to describe.  it’s called “jumping the shark” and phonetically it’s far superior. plus the reasoning behind “nuked the fridge” just isn’t valid. 

yeah, indiana jones avoided being killed by an atomic blast by crawling inside a lead-lined refrigarator.  you might also recall that he also avoided being melted by the wrath of god by simply keeping his eyes shut.  he also watched a man pull the heart out of a dude with his bare hand and the dude somehow remained alive for quite some time afterward.   and he met a knight that was over a 700 years old in a cave in a desert with a cup that makes you immortal.  but now you cry foul? 

in the words of the great gob bluthe: “c’mon!”

sincerely,
my ironic mustache
