On what planet? On Earth in English, being an ass is synonymous with being an asshole. It’s purely a variant. ---

TBG was just looking for an excuse to type _Maggie Lawson naked_ in pale grey, on account of his suspecting that I have a stash of such pics I am keepng from y’all just to be a Shawn Spencer. ---

Roll your eyes all you want to but… Shawn has been shown to actually be more effective when he’s in the “fun zone” even when, nay, especially when, dealing with genius serial killers like yin and yang. Plus, most of his slackerdom and buffoonery has been shown to be due to overbearing Daddy issues. Whereas… Batman is all serious mopey parent dying and/or cheating and burdening oneself with saving the world from superpowered accidental issues. He’s purely a dick-cause I either don’t have time to pretend social niceties or else because I take the world’s worst-case-scenarios on my shoulders. So maybe it should be a tie. They both use dickery for the advancement of humanity. ---

> [@Irishman](#): > > On what planet? On Earth in English, being an ass is synonymous with being an asshole. It’s purely a variant. Since when? An ass is a fop, a fool, the court jester. An arsehole on the other hand… But then there is also an arse…which is a normally friendly person who’s being unusually unwieldy at the present time? ---

Inspired by this weird thread, I made a [Maggie Lawson](http://guanolad.com/stuff/maggie_lawson_wallpaper.jpg) desktop wallpaper, in which she is _not_ naked. ---

For you Maggie Lawson fans, I assume that you’ve all seen the practically unwatchable “Still Waiting” which features Ms. Lawson in the roll of a Hooters’ style waitress at a restaurant called “Ta-Ta’s”. It’s _ **practically** _ unwatchable. ---

I kinda still have a crush on Corbin Bernsen from his LA Law days. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bigger-asshole-shawn-spencer-from-psych-or-batman/559475.md?page=1)
