3:7 The Individuals is one of my YouTube Favorites.

I'm a fan, obviously.
I was named after a TV character and I had to pass this humiliation on to my son.

You named your son after the dumbass kid on Weeds?

I think the song really opened my eyes to how it is most suburban dwellers live. Every time I see a new development it crosses my mind, and I identify anew with the realities within the song.

What I find most equally interesting and disturbing is the song's age, and how long this trend has taken place and the likelihood it will continue to do so.

As an English major and Christian to boot, I was already familiar with the name Silas before the show.

My husband shot down every name I suggested while I was pregnant. I wanted an uncommon name, but not an unusual name; but Josh just wouldn't get on board with anything. He was all hung up on the name Zeke and I did not like the sound of Zeke Hines. While watching Weeds, I jokingly suggested that I wouldn't mind having a son named Silas. When my husband agreed, I took it and RAN. I knew that it was probably the best that I was going to get. And so, our son is Silas Ezekiel Hines.

I looked up the Decemberists version of this, expecting that they would try as hard as they could to attack suburban conformity. They didn't disappoint.... Normally I'm not a Decemberists fan, but this song was made for them.

I wish The Pixies had done a version of this song. I would love to hear that. SO MUCH.

[Edited on April 18, 2010 at 8:27 PM. Reason : like... goddamn... I cannot express just how much I want to hear the Pixies cover Little Boxes.]

The masturbation episode was my first episode of Weeds. After listening to Andy's speech, I knew that I was in love. I then added the show to my DVR list and then went back On Demand to catch myself up.

And yes, Silas should thank Weeds for his name. Otherwise, he would have spent years in school being referred to as Zeke the Geek or Zeke the Freak. Kids will have to find something other than his name to tease him about because let's face it, no one is going to associate his old man name with that show.

i used to love this show, but it started falling off big time once they switched locations, with each season becoming more forced than the next. I really enjoyed when nancy was relatable, but now I view her as an idiot and a whore who gets what is coming to her. that has probably been the intent, to a point, but the plot still appears to be throw shit at a wall waiting to see what sticks.

This season is the final one, and it better be good. I am only watching it to have seen it from beginning to end.

I always kind of halfway think for a moment that this thread is about the vaginas of 18-year-old girls

then I'm like, ohh, no, it's not, and I'm all disappointed
