You Probably Shouldn't Read This If You Have a Weak Stomach

The Beavis and Butt-head episode "Tainted Meat" premiered today 14 years ago on MTV. Daria appeared in two segments, not saying a word in either one. However, in this scene, she was working on a timed test in Mr. Van Dreissen's class when she heard something and turned around to see Beavis with his hand inside his pants, furiously scratching his crotch. Beavis's intimate hygiene issues are the focus of the episode, which can be in full on the MTV site at the above link. Be warned that it might be just a teeny weeny bit of a gross out. Srsly. You might never eat at a restaurant again.

Daria also appears in the front row of a class photo in the same episode, Beavis off to one side still scratching himself. Daria stands next to the punk girl Kimberly, who is far taller than stubby li'l Daria.

I honestly don't think that Daria ate at any Highland restaurant at which she knew either of these two worked. I just can't see it. It's incredible that the experience didn't turn her off to hamburgers, but you wonder if she used her knowledge of this episode's events to good effect later on in the Daria episode "Fat Like Me," when she tricks her father out of his hamburger (see the very end of the script). Clever little minx, isn't she?

Latest entry in DariaWiki is . . . oh, ha ha, very funny. Insult my true love, see if I care.

Angst Guy, thank for the fic updates. You've become my first stop for the latest chapters, and I'm really grateful. I'm working on some stories of my own at the moment and will likely be joining the circus soon.

I have two heads. It really helps for writing dialog. :)
