Not a US citizen, but those still make me laugh.

Mostly yeah, but it had good moments. I loved the show as the kid, it had some pretty dark stuff for a kid to watch.

Remember kids, selflessly help someone and they'll surely be back to ask for more, then when you ask for one thing be prepared to be treated like shit.

What kind of help are we talking about? Financial? Did you save them from falling off a cliff? When you selflessly help someone, shouldn't you not expect anything in return?
Either way, anyone hyped for Baseball? Excited to see what my Red Sox can do this year.

General help in many situations. And this is not a case of "not expecting anything in return" is more a case of "I thought I at least wouldn't be treated like crap by someone I am always helping".

The lesson is... is that it is a difficult question to ponder on, and to go ahead and be charitable anyways.

I always liked this episode just because of that mindfuck at the end, the Twilight Zone has a tendency to pull tricks like that. They used to do re runs of the show on the local channels when I was younger, so I've seen a lot of them also. Just a shame that there's no more real science fiction on TV anymore.
Also, does anyone know if GTA 5 is really that good?

Well, there are some news about water regulations ordered by Californian government broadcasted even here in Slovakia, little country on the other side of planet. Good to see that you are okay, guys! According to this news, the bear on Californian flag is going to be replaced with a camel pretty soon. ^^
I'm sharing this sentiment with you without any disbelief on my part. Can't imagine how I'd survive in California, even those 3-4 weeks with temperatures climbing above 35 degrees Celsius we're facing every year here is going to kill me someday.

My favorite TZ episode was the.... [found it]
...The one with the devil in the castle. I forgot the name, but it goes something like this. A guy is walking in the rain, and is getting pretty sick from the rain and cold. Eventually, finds a monastery full of monks. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and asks the monk who answers to let him in because he will get sick soon and possibly die if not. The monk eventually denies him entrance, and slams the door on him (I think). I think he passes out and then wakes up in the monastery. The monks basically tell him he is free to travel anyway within the monastery, except for a certain room. Every night he ends up having trouble sleeping because of a howling noise, coming from the room the monks told him not to enter. Eventually he asks the monks about this, and the reluctantly tell him that he is not in a monastery, but a prison. The lead monk says that their prison was built to contain a single prisoner: the Devil. One night, out of curiosity, the man enters the room the monks told him not to enter, and where they are keeping the Devil locked up. Apparently, the cell the Devil is in is bound by a magical staff which somehow keeps the Devil from leaving/teleporting out of that cell. The man approaches the other man in the cell, who looks just like an ordinary man, not like any kind of Demon or Imp. The man in the cell tells the other man (the protagonist of the episode) that the monks are actually, indeed crazy. He begins to tell him how the monks at the monastery are all insane, and one day while he was walking the very same road next to the monastery the protagonist ended up walking and passing out on, the monks kidnapped him and imprisoned him, and kept proclaiming to him that he was the Devil. The man goes on to say that no matter what he told the monks, they would not let up, and kept insisting that he was the Devil.
The man in the cell then asks the Protagonist to let him out of the cell and free him, begging him to do so. The Protagonist thinks about it for a second, and them comes to the conclusion that the man is indeed not the Devil, and his story sounds legitimate. As he goes to take the staff off the door of the cell, beforehand he notices that the staff is blocking the door is infact the only thing keeping the door closed, and there is no locking mechanism. He also notices that the staff is weak and frigid, and that any ordinary man inside the cell would have easily been able to open the door, and the staff would have broken or fallen right off. When the Protagonist questions the man in the cell on this, and asks him why he hasn't just put his weight against the door and broken out yet by himself, he man in the cell says the he did at first (I think, may be wrong on this part), but the monks caught him and, after they caught him they put a locking mechanism in that could only be undone by opening the door from the outside. As the Protagonist begins to think about it, the man in the cell tells him to hurry or he'll never get another chance. The Protagonist finally takes the staff off the door and the moment he does, the door swings open, and the man walks outside. The man's appearance then turns into that of a Devilish type humanoid, looking like a human, however with horns, a tail, and a long black cape/robe. The man, or the "Devil", then laughs evilly as he teleports away and disappears. The monks then soon after, being only seconds late, barge into the door, questioning the Protagonist, asking him if he knows what he just released/what he just did.
The episode skips ahead several years, where the Protagonist is now an old man and it is the current day (current day being, the current day the episode was aired. So, the early sixties). The Protagonist starts giving a voice over, saying about how in his own guilt, he took the magical staff and hunted the Devil for many, many years. In the years after the Devil was released, the world peace had ended, and the two World Wars, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the beginning of the Cold War, and everything else bad in between had happened since the Devil's release. The Protagonist then proclaims to have finally captured him, in which the screen switches again. This time, it is a maid entering what looks like a hotel room. As she is cleaning, she hears a voice from the closet. Proclaiming that he is being held hostage and trapped in the closet, the maid removes the staff from the door, and again releases the Devil, again with the Protagonist barging in just seconds late, restarting the entire cycle.

I've decided for the second time, to stop using shampoo. Question: Am I being sucked into some hippy 'all-natural' 'shampoo and corporations are evil' type area?
It seems to me that since we've been doing fine without shampoo for thousands of years, shampoo is a waste of money?
Am I making a good decision at all?

Since you're a longhair...nope, you don't need shampoo, it's unnecessary.
But then again, you don't need any social contact either.

That might be true, but I don't think people back then were fans of bugs and other shit in their hair, that's why everyone wore wigs 300 years ago.

I have a lion's mane of hair, I have to wash it almost daily otherwise it turns into a hair helmet, and it only gets worse when it's short.
The roar of a lion can be heard up to 5 miles.
