Dont know if this belongs in this topic but I'm a huge JR fan and he is the ultimate (very funny - imo) pedant...
I haven't watched all of the episode yet but I have read his book and seen him live and would recommend him to those of a pedantic nature everywhere - he obviously uses his personality and OCD tendancies and the resulting affect it has on his life as comedy material but the book is more a sad/funny/poignant narrative of him trying to cope with everyday life as an obsessive perfectionist.
A very underrated comic, love him Grin

I watched it and found it disconcerting to recognise certain traits in myself. When crossing a road I always start right foot first, and must cross in an even number of steps. 16 paces if possible. I have been known to swerve or take larger steps to ensure this happens. Blush

Other everyday tasks take longer than they perhaps should as I have to do them in a particular way and order.

I have things easy compared to him and the people he met. Really enjoyed the show though, it was interesting, sad, and funny all at the same time.

I watched it. It was sad and fascinating. I've nursed a patient who was in the 'stuck' phase and couldn't move .

I did clean the kitchen floor after watching it though Smile
