Emotions are messy."''-->-- '''Meredith Grey'''''Grey's Anatomy'' is a MedicalDrama. Beginning its life in 2005 as a MidSeasonReplacement, Grey's quickly became known for being sort of, well, quirky, especially given its genre: in addition to [[NameMcadjective McNicknaming]] and using the word "seriously" as much as we use the word "{{egregious}}", the show focused primarily on the romantic and sex lives of its characters rather than on the medical cases. Case in point: the first scene of the pilot episode is {{Narrator}} Meredith Grey waking up after a one-night-stand with a hot guy named Derek and rushing off to her first day as an intern at Seattle Grace Hospital... only to discover that said one-night-stand, Dr. Shepherd, [[OhCrap works there too.]]The show follows the lives, both personal and professional, of a group of surgeons at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly Seattle Grace, and then Seattle Grace-Mercy West following a merger in Season 6). Most episodes are narrated by Meredith, a world-weary intern struggling to deal with her mother's Alzheimer's syndrome. Though initially focused on Meredith, the other four interns and their immediate superiors, the show has introduced numerous characters since its onset, resulting in a large ensemble cast. Additionally, the show has matured some in recent years; the wackiness and sexcapades have been largely toned down, resulting in a more serious character study. Some found this [[ShooOutTheClowns deplorable]], but the show continues to pull high ratings. Former {{Trope Namer|s}} for UrgentMedicalAlert, Grey's Anatomy Emergency Medical Response. Should not be confused with ''[[Literature/GraysAnatomy Gray's Anatomy]]'', the famous textbook on human anatomy the title is based on.It forms part of an ExpandedUniverse, with sister show ''PrivatePractice'' forming part of the universe, canonically.----!!This series provides examples of:* AbortedArc: As with any show with this many characters that's run for this long, it's bound to happen. Notably: ** Izzie treats a family of undocumented immigrants outside the hospital and off the books which is not only unethical but also illegal and could get her fired and probably arrested. She tells them to come back and ask for her, obviously set up to be a longer story but we never see them or anything related to it again.** When Arizona returns to the hospital from Africa it's with the express caveat that she is no longer Head of Peds, that she will report to Dr. Stark who had been serving in that position during her absence. The two have wildly different personalities and methods of doing things. This was obviously set up for them to conflict and we get exactly one episode out of it before Stark disappears, never to be seen or mentioned again and Robbins is back to being in charge.** Bailey has a mental breakdown in season 10 due to her OCD. After a few episodes, she takes one pill, and her OCD is never mentioned again.* AbusiveParents:** One episode has a girl who has very bad injuries, and the doctors strongly suspected it is her parents who have been hurting her. It is later revealed she {{feels no pain}} and has been allowing other kids to beat her up as she believed it was a superpower. ** Meredith's mother was verbally/emotionally abusive and took her away from her father.** Alex's father, until Alex fought back as a teenager and his father never came back home. Alex's mother was schizophrenic (which his brother also develops), and unable to care for her children.* AdultFear: The entirety of the episode "The Girl With No Name." Aside from the main PatientOfTheWeek, Bailey panics for a few minutes when she thinks her son is missing.** After he's declared brain-dead, [[spoiler:Meredith has to wait for signs of brain activity for hours before allowing the hospital to remove Derek's life support. Your spouse dying suddenly and traumatically, leaving you to raise two small children on your own, has to be at least in the Top Ten of worst things that could happen in a relationship.]]*** It gets worse the next episode, [[spoiler:when she finds out she's pregnant again.]]* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Occasionally, an episode will be narrated by somebody other than Meredith. It used to only happen about once a season, but it's recently become more frequent.** George got one in Season 2. ** Cristina got one in Season 3, and two more in Season 10. ** Bailey got one in Season 4, and another in Season 9. ** Denny Duquette got one in Season 5 ([[spoiler:although he was long dead at that point]]). ** Alex got one in Season 5, and another in Season 9. ** Izzie got one in Season 5. ** Derek got ''three'' in Season 6, and another in Season 10. ** Owen got one in Season 6.** Callie got one in Season 7 (also the MusicalEpisode) and another in Season 10. She co-narrated one with Arizona in Season 11.** Chief Webber narrated his own two episodes in Season 10, and his monologues (not technically narration, as they're spoken in-story) were featured in episodes in Seasons 3, 6 and 8.** Maggie Pierce, April, Dr. Hermann and Amelia all each got one in Season 11.** Additionally, the last episode of Season 2 and the first episode of Season 6 both featured the entire cast reading bits of narration, sometimes only one or two words, and an episode in Season 8 featured only the ''male'' cast narrating. * AnOddPlaceToSleep: In the second episode of season 10, Derek goes out for milk and comes back over an hour later because he fell asleep in the parking lot. Later, Meredith falls asleep on the floor while talking on the phone.* AllLesbiansWantKids: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]] and then PlayedStraight with [[spoiler:Callie and Arizona]]. Initially, [[spoiler:Arizona]] doesn't want to have children, but changes her mind after the shooting, deciding that not wanting children is not worth being separated from [[spoiler:Callie]]. [[spoiler: Callie]] comes to the same opinion, and tells [[spoiler:Arizona]] that not having kids isn't worth losing her, but [[spoiler:Arizona]] overrides her and tells her [[EasyEvangelism she can't live without her and their ten kids]].** Still somewhat subverted. [[spoiler:Arizona loves Sofia and wants another child, but prioritizes her and Callie's careers over that want, which is one of the main factors that leads to their divorce.]]* AlternateRealityEpisode: the eighth-season episode "If/Then", which revolves around an Ellis Grey who is alive and lucid. The ripple effects are fairly significant (Alex has proposed to Meredith; Callie and Owen are married; the Shepherds are still together; Cristina has no friends) but BecauseDestinySaysSo other things come back to bite them (Alex is still an inveterate womanizer; Mark and Addison are still carrying on; Meredith ''still'' can't please her mother; she and Derek are attracted to each other; she and Cristina become FireForgedFriends whilst struggling to save a patient, Callie and Arizona are drawn to each other), turning the whole thing from "ForWantOfANail" into "InSpiteOfANail" instead. Incidentally, the episode's theme is "BecauseDestinySaysSo." Has a lot of moments of FridgeBrilliance.* AmusingInjuries: A lot. Some earlier episodes had a parasite enter through a patient's penis, Addison getting a rash from using poison ivy in place of toilet paper, a patient suffering from priapism, and Mark having a fractured penis all PlayedForLaughs. Usually the attendings have to warn the interns/residents to be professional and ''not'' laugh when around certain patients.** A recent episode has Bailey describe getting an infection from having sex on the beach while Callie laughs.* AndIMustScream: In the season 11 episode "How to Save a Life", [[spoiler:Derek is conscious but unable to talk to the doctors after his car accident. Most of his narration from that point on are instructions that, had he been able to verbalise, would most likely have saved his life. The worst part is that he's aware that it's too late when the neurosurgeon finally arrives.]]--> "It's too late. You're too late."* AndStarring: Patrick Dempsey (as Derek "[=McDreamy=]" Shepherd). Isaiah Washington also had this credit. And sometimes guest stars as well: Creator/WilliamDaniels always had it during his appearances in the 9th season.* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Happens all the time. But in particular we gotta give it up to the Grey sisters as both Meredith (to Derek) and Lexie (to Mark) have their love speeches ignored by their respective soulmates.* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Reasons that Meredith thinks that Derek wouldn't want babies with her; family history of Alzheimer's, history of suicidal tendences, and split ends* ArtisticLicense - Law: Buying a hospital is not done quickly.* AscendedExtra: Amelia has a couple appearances in seasons 7 and 8, then becomes a series regular in season 11, following the cancellation of PrivatePractice.* AssholeVictim: Absolutely nobody pretends to feel sorry for the rapist whose penis was bitten off in an early episode, to the point of mocking his situation right in front of him. * AuthorAvatar:** Izzie Stevens is what Katherine Heigl considers a better, more moral version of herself. * AuthorCatchphrase: The pilot episode, referring to making conversation solely because of presumed social conventions as "do[ing] [relevant determiner phrase] thing", by both Meredith to Derek at the beginning ("We don't have to do the thing..."), and by Cristina to Meredith at the end ("Do we have to do that thing..."). Strange because this was not a common turn-of-phrase (at least [[LifeImitatesArt not before]] the episode aired), and Cristina came from another state and just met Meredith during the episode, after Meredith had used the phrase with Derek. Probably the intention was to form BookEnds, though more common phrasing used both times would have worked fine, and sounded much more natural. Also referring to important people in life as "my person"- the main characters do this frequently, then patients and their families also use it without having heard the main characters say it.* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: Adele Webber.]]* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: In the Season 6 finale, [[spoiler:Gary Clark, the shooter, is talking with Lexie about his intention of killing her. *bang* She falls. Suddenly, she looks up, to find he's been shot by SWAT.]]* BatmanGambit: Bailey plays one on Arizona in Season 9. [[spoiler:She's trying to break Arizona out of her funk and get her to come back to work, prosthetic leg be damned.]] [[spoiler:It works.]]* BigNo: Meredith gets one in the Season 6 Finale, when [[spoiler: it seems as though Derek has died]].* BigShutUp: In the very first episode of Season 5, Cristina snaps at Meredith after coming to her one too many times with relationship woes:-->'''Cristina''': "So please, please, ''please'', as you weigh your options here, just, you know, consider the possibility... of '''shutting the hell up'''!"* BilingualBonus: In the second episode, there is some unsubtitled Chinese.** In a later episode when Callie comes out to her father and he tries to make her leave Seattle and move back home with him she starts ranting in English but as she gets increasingly furious she swaps between English and Spanish, sometimes mid sentence.* BiTheWay: A number of characters are bi from the get-go, or discover their bisexuality during the series, most notably Callie.* BlueOrangeContrast: In season six episode "Invasion" the newly arrived Mercy West doctors wear bright orange scrubs in contrast to the various shades of blue used for Seattle Grace's scrubs and furnishings.* BottleEpisode: Season 13's "The Room Where It Happens" focuses entirely on Meredith, Owen, Stephanie and Richard in one surgery, with some flashbacks/fantasy sequences. In the same season, we also have "You Can Look (But You'd Better Not Touch)" which focuses only on Arizona, Bailey, and Jo performing a procedure on a pregnant teenaged convict at a state prison, with Meredith (who doesn't appear physically in the episode) providing narration at the beginning and end of the episode.* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: Owen fires Teddy, who is planning to stay at Seattle Grace rather than taking a better job, because he's having a hard time and she wants to help him through it.* BreakTheCutie:** Lexie tends to lead the pack on this, though she's far from the only one. Recently {{lampshaded}} by Meredith, who worries about her emotional strength.** April is the latest victim of this. In spades.** Most recently, Arizona.* TheBusCameBack: Leah Murphy is fired near the end of season 10, but returns in season 13.* CassandraTruth: One elderly patient complained of pressure in her chest for years, but everyone thought it was just in her head. Turns out her previous surgeon (Dr. Burke) ''left a towel inside of her.''* CharacterFilibuster: In earlier seasons, this happens once or twice. Per episode. In later seasons, however, this is generally limited to Meredith's voiceover narrations, which play over a series of scenes beginning or finishing each character's episode storyline.* TheChewToy: April and George.** Arguably Izzie Stevens as well (although maybe she's more of a ButtMonkey).* ClosetKey: [[BiTheWay Callie]] and Erica were this for each other. Much later, Arizona is this for Leah. * CodeEmergency: "It's the End of the World" & "(As We Know It)" features "Code Black": Armed bomb on premises (this one is actually a rocket in a patient's abdomen). * CodeSilver: The Season Six finale.* CoincidentalBroadcast: A major offender. Bomb threats, terrorist threats, highway pile-ups, ferry disasters, natural disasters, mass shootings... and the hospitals still learn about them by accidentally glancing at a TV. Apparently, fictional Seattle doesn't have a process for notifying its emergency responders ''at all''. Someone really ought to be fired about this.* ColorCodedCharacters: How do you tell who's an intern/resident and who's an attending? Interns and residents have baby blue scrubs and attendings have navy blue* CommutingOnABus: Izzie in season 6. She appeared sporadically during the first half of the season, before being fired from Seattle Grace. She [[TheBusCameBack came back for episode 12, to attempt to reconcile with Alex, though he rejected her]], causing her to [[PutOnABus leave Seattle for good]]. * ConspicuousCG: The da Vinci machine.* ContinuityNod: All over the place. Characters who have left and past events are often referenced by the current characters. ** In season 11, when [[spoiler:April's baby is doomed to die quickly following childbirth]], Amelia acts very coldly and is seen on edge at several occasions. Those who saw LiveActionTV/PrivatePractice will remember that Amelia [[spoiler:went through a very similar and painful experience]], which is given a nod at the end of the episode:-->''Amelia'': [[spoiler:My baby lived for 43 minutes.]]* ContrivedCoincidence: Dr. Webber [[YourCheatingHeart has a relationship]] with Meredith's mother, who later suffers from early-onset Alzheimer's Dementia and lives in a nursing home. A few years after said woman dies, his wife also gets Alzheimer's at a young age. She later ends up in a nursing home [[spoiler: and dies]] as a patient at Seattle Grace.* ConvenientMiscarriage: [[spoiler:Cristina]] was all set to get an abortion but ended up having a miscarriage before her appointment, [[WordOfGod according to show creator Shonda Rhimes]], this was a result of ExecutiveMeddling. For the record, Rhimes is on the board of Planned Parenthood. In season eight, [[spoiler:Cristina does go through with getting an abortion.]]* DarkHorseVictory: The race for chief resident between Cristina, Jackson, Meredith, Alex. Owen, as her husband, is hesitant to even consider choosing Cristina and it looks like either Meredith or Alex. Alex screws up both their chances, though Owen hinted that he was strongly considering Alex. April, who no one takes seriously, is the one who wins and she is initially very bad at it.* DatingDoSiDo: The combinations of the characters dating one another are infinite: Meredith/Derek (obviously), Cristina/Preston, Cristina/Owen, Alex/Izzie, Alex/Jo, George/Izzie, Meredith/George...* DeadpanSnarker: Cristina more than anyone else, but many characters are this at point or another.* DeusAngstMachina: Meredith has an [[AbusiveParents emotionally abusive mother]] with Alzheimer's, a DisappearedDad, and her boyfriend turns out to be married in Season One. By Season Six, her [[IMissMom mother has died]], her [[ParentalSubstitute stepmother]] died, and her father blamed her for it. Along the way, she went through hell to get her man, however, and did actually succeed. [[EarnYourHappyEnding They are now happily married]], except for the fact that she [[spoiler: just miscarried their child]].* DoomMagnet: Apparently, Seattle. The number of mega-disasters requiring "all hands on deck" in the surgical departments baffles belief. The characters are aware of this:--> '''Derek''': Well, it's a disaster plan. Most disasters don't happen. --> '''Meredith''': They do, to us! --> '''Derek''': ''(considers)'' That's true. We have survived an unusual number of very bad things. * DoubleStandard / TheUnfairSex: Subverted. Jo tells Alex that she fake cries to make people feel bad for her and get what she wants. When Alex tells her it's not fair since guys can't get away with doing it, she tells him they can, and it actually works better for them since people are [[MenDontCry more freaked out when seeing a man cry.]] They then proceed to [[HilarityEnsues use this tactic to con their way into getting a hotel room]] and it works.* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: In the episode "Brave New World", a man is in the hospital with a nasty gash on his head because his wife threw the TV remote at him. As he gets stitched up, she mocks him and tells him that she'll divorce him as soon as he gets well. The doctor working on him doesn't even think to notify the police, and the scene is pretty much played for laughs.** {{Lampshaded}} and {{deconstructed}} late in Season 9 when boyfriend and girlfriend ([[spoiler:Jo and Jason, AKA [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Chest Pecwell]]]]) get into a fight. Alex points out to the guy that, regardless of whether the girl hit first, the fact that the guy hit ''too'' is going to [[MoralEventHorizon follow him forever]]. Via this blackmail he manages to dissuade the guy from pressing charges... Which Derek ''immediately'' calls him on. (To Alex's credit, he also calls the girl on ''her'' actions the next chance he gets, though he may not have done so had Derek not chewed him out.)* DrJerk: Dr. Stark, which surprised everyone since he was a pediatric surgeon.** Meredith acts like this in season 9, as she's going through a rough patch in the aftermath of the [[spoiler: plane crash]] and having her best friend separated from her.* DroppedABridgeOnHim: ** [[spoiler: George]] being dragged by a bus would qualify. In all fairness, he was saving Lindsey from ''Series/TheOC''.** The end of Season 8 dropped a ''plane'' on poor [[spoiler:Lexie]].* DysfunctionJunction: Really. Every character who had a happy (or simply unmentioned) childhood seems to have had it counterbalanced in their adult life ... and every character who did not? [[FromBadToWorse It managed to get worse]].* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the pilot the five interns are four as Alex barely appears (there is a nurse who has more lines), the hospital is laid out differently (understandable for a pilot), the interns corridor where they hide is close to the action and has vending machines, no patients are admitted (later in the series we always meet patients at the door), the Grey House is a different house, Webber doesn't seem to know Meredith (in the very next episode he claims he helped change her diapers), no one says "Mc" anything (Cristina invents that meme in episode 2), Meredith's narration is actually a conversation with her mother, and in the second episode the pediatrics department is seen and they have light purple scrubs (two seasons later they have the same color as the surgery interns).** The credits sequence was cut in mid-season two. The teaser now ends with the title card, and the credits themselves run as subtitles under the second act.* TheEeyore: One episode of season 9 has a patient who is depressed about her situation, a gymnast who would never get full movement in her lower body, and makes everyone she talks to sad and cynical. * [[EmbarrassingMiddleName Embarrassing Full Name]]: Calliope Iphigenia Torres.** Adding insult to injury, after she marries George O'Malley someone jokes that her married name would be Callie O'Malley (thankfully she remains Torres).* EmbarrassingNickname: In Season 1, George's freezing up during his first surgery earns him the nickname [[Film/JamesBond 007]] (because he has a "license to kill"). This name turns out to be a ChekhovsGun later on.** In Season 9, Bailey's new nickname becomes BCB - Booty Call Bailey.* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Addison's eventual realization to the LoveTriangle she's stuck in with Meredith and Derek.-->"The only people who don't know that Derek loves Meredith are Derek and Meredith."* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: While Derek and Meredith is the couple who has the most implied sex scenes of the series, others don't fall far behind. Most of all, pretty much everyone slept with each other at one point or another, something which is lampshaded by Callie during season 11:-->'''Callie''': Oh God. We're all related through sex. We all have sexual relations. That is horribly weird.* EvilRedhead: ** This is how Meredith perceives Addison the first time her character is introduced. Interestingly enough, after [[spoiler: Addison gives up on Derek, leaves for LA, and comes back to Seattle to do a surgery]] she now is a brunette.** The serial killer whom Derek, Cristina, Owen, and Meredith treat in season 5. He tells Meredith that he sliced a woman's neck open one day because he had been fantasizing about it for a while... and then he decided he enjoyed it so much that [[EstablishingCharacterMoment he would slice open 4 other women's necks]].** In season 7 episode "Disarm" the college shooter is a redhead.* FakeGuestStar: frequently. The show often treats its guest stars like starring characters (or promotes them).* {{Fanservice}}: The infamous scene of Sloan only barely wearing a towel. ** Avery takes off his shirt at least once every other episode** Most of the characters (male and female) get pre/post-sexytime scenes in minimal clothing* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: The big twist of the Season 1 finale, that Derek is married, is old hat to pop culture, particularly now that his wife Addison has her own SpinOff (''PrivatePractice''). Other big twists (such as the deaths in the Season 5 and 6 finales), are also spoiled, though to a lesser extent.* FiveManBand: With initials spelling M-A-G-I-C!** TheHero: Meredith.** TheLancer: George.** TheSmartGuy: Cristina.** TheBigGuy: Alex.** TheChick: Izzie.*** Of course, after Season 6:** TheHero: Meredith.** TheLancer: Cristina (she's still smart, but the [[HeterosexualLifePartners Meredith/Cristina friendship]] is one of the few stable ones in the show).** TheSmartGuy: Jackson.** TheBigGuy: Alex.** TheChick: April.** TagalongKid: Lexie. Could also double as TheSmartGuy thanks to her photographic memory.* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: Izzie falls for heart patient Denny Duquette. Unfortunately, nothing good came of this.** Teddy fell for Henry, whom she initially married just to help him get medical treatment.** Stephanie dates a patient in season 12.* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the first episode of season 5, Meredith has nightmares about Derek [[spoiler:dying in a car accident. They come true near the end of season 11.]]** In the same episode, Meredith asks Zola if she knows what happens surgeons when surgeons are late. "People die". [[spoiler: The neurosurgeon that could have saved Derek's life was over an hour late and by then he was already brain-dead.]]* ForgottenFallenFriend: After the first few episodes of the sixth season, [[spoiler: George]] is barely ever mentioned again. Though his mother shows up in a later episode and is treated like family by his former friends and wife. ** [[spoiler: Mark and Lexie]] get this as well, though less so. It's understandable in that people move on* FriendVersusLover: Cristina is the friend, Derek is the love interest, and Meredith is caught in-between. It's said, however, that between Cristina and Derek, Meredith would choose Cristina, if she had to pick.* FriendsWithBenefits: Callie and Mark.* FromBadToWorse: Intern Ross in season 9 working under Meredith accidentally orders the wrong test, as a result they don't find out her liver is failing until it is too late. The patient needed a liver transplant, but [[WhatAnIdiot Ross ends up accidentally destroying the liver]] so they have to get a second one. When they get to the second liver, they see that [[OhCrap it has]] [[ContrivedCoincidence a mass on it.]] Subverted at the end, when a biopsy reveals that the second liver was actually fine and the patient survives. * GoodAdulteryBadAdultery / SympatheticAdulterer: In earlier seasons, Derek cheats on Addison freely due to considering his marriage over (he caught her in bed with his best friend) and seemingly not caring to end it officially. Addison feels the same way, and ''defends'' his infidelity when it is mentioned to her.** Though he did tell her he never wanted to see her again and moved to a different state so it was pretty official. He also did later cheat with Meredith while was trying to make it work with Addison.* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Averted by [[spoiler: Cristina, who gets an abortion in the season eight premiere]], and Addison, who got pregnant with Mark and got an abortion before moving to Seattle. Addison is introduced as somewhat of a villain, but by the point this information is revealed, she is a sympathetic character.* GrandRomanticGesture: Meredith's house of candles for Derek in the season 4 finale.* GreyAndGrayMorality: Meredith's Morality is most definitely [[JustForPun Grey]]. She tampers with the Alzheimer's Trial to help DaChief's wife which puts her in a very bad spot with her husband who accuses her of not knowing [[BlackAndWhiteMorality the difference between Right and Wrong]].** In the season seven finale, she gives an excellent speech on how she firmly believes the world is this way.* GroinAttack: at one point the PatientOfTheWeek is a [[RapeAsDrama rape victim]] who, while in surgery, is discovered to have ''bitten off her rapist's penis.'' And when we say "at one point" we mean "the show's second episode." (Meredith has to carry the evidence around in a cooler until the authorities take custody of it.)* HasTwoMommies: Sofia, who is being raised by biological parents [[spoiler: Mark and Callie]] and [[spoiler:Callie's wife Arizona]]. * HeadTiltinglyKinky: One Season Two episode involves a PatientOfTheWeek whose pain medication is porn (with the flimsy justification of it resulting in the brain/body releasing endorphins). The girls watch a bit of one, and one of them remarks, "There's no way that can be comfortable," as they all tilt their heads to watch. Meredith's response ("Trust me, it's not") causes some surprised stares.* HeroicBSOD: ** Recovering from this is Owen's major character arc. ** Derek in Season 5 after [[spoiler: accidentally killing a pregnant woman]]. Such a strong BSOD that he passes it on to Callie and Owen. ** Cristina in seasons 7 and 9, after [[spoiler: the shooting and the plane crash, respectively.]]** Alex, who was unable to take elevators after the season 6 finale events until Richard persuades him to do so. Granted, he almost [[spoiler:bled to death inside of one]]. ** Stephanie and Dr. Minnick suffer one in season 13, when they lose a young boy in a seemingly simple surgery, Minnick's first child death.* HeroicSacrifice: A man comes into the ER after saving a woman by pushing her out of the path of an oncoming bus. His face is disfigured, so it takes a while for the doctors to find out the victim is [[spoiler: George]].* HeterosexualLifePartners: Meredith and Cristina.** By season 3, Mark and Derek.** Mark and Jackson became this for a while.* HollywoodHealing: Averted in numerous cases (e.g. Meredith's attack in season 12, Callie's car crash in season 7, the plane crash in season 8), though played straight in others (a woman suddenly reviving after being declared dead ''for almost 30 minutes'' without any apparent damage, though it has something do with [[RealityIsUnrealistic Lazarus]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_syndrome syndrome, an actual condition in real life]]).* HospitalHottie: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Erica Hahn in Season 4:-->'''Erica''': "Do you hire on looks alone, or is actual skill a factor?"* HypocriticalHumor: When the main gang become residents in season 5, they complain about the various antics of their new interns, including love triangles and messing up patients...oblivious to how they were just as bad, if not worse, when they first started. * IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode shares its title with a song.* IdiotBall: Oh, not that often, but ''sometimes'' on this show...** How about Meredith thinking that the chief ''being a drinking alcoholic while operating on patients'' isn't "a big deal" and that it shouldn't cost him his job? ** It's understandable that George, in a moment of grief, might propose to Callie. It's a bit less understandable why she would think that a couple of days after the death of his father would be a great time for a Vegas wedding.** Bailey injecting deactivated HIV into a patient after his parents withdraw consent for the experimental procedure. When she tells them the truth, she is actually surprised that they are pissed off.* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Meredith is pregnant, only she doesn't want to tell anyone yet (not even [[HeterosexualLifePartners Cristina]]) because she thinks she'll jinx it if she gets too optimistic. Though Cristina already knows this. And Meredith knows Cristina knows. And Cristina knows that Meredith knows that she knows. * ImperiledInPregnancy: A recurring element of the show's medical drama, though often the mothers die, though the [[InfantImmortality babies survive]]. However, there have been numerous cases where both die, including one incident that led to Ben almost getting fired. An example would be Meredith, who falls down a staircase while heavily pregnant and later went into DIC after giving birth to her son Bailey; luckily, she survived. Another example would be Callie and Arizona in a car crash in season 7, while the former is only about six months pregnant; as in the case of Meredith, she and the baby (Sofia) survive, though spends weeks in the hospital recovering.* ImportantHaircut: In season 10, Arizona gets her hair cut after Callie leaves her. In season 7, Cristina cuts Callie's hair after her breakup with Arizona.* ImprobableAge: The actors playing Meredith, Alex, George and Cristina were all somewhat older than the average intern in the first season (by nearly a decade in Ellen Pompeo's case). Not impossible by any means but a little improbable. Averted by Izzie - Katherine Heigl actually was twenty-six when the show started.** Cristina has a [=PhD=] as well as an MD so she would be older than the average intern since she has four to six (depending on a MA and what program she did) more years of school.** It's also outright stated that Meredith didn't necessarily take her education all that seriously until her mother was diagnosed, so it's easy to think that she took longer than the standard four years to finish her undergrad or that she didn't go straight from undergrad to med school... or even straight from high school to college, for that matter.*** It's noted in the pilot script that Meredith is 32, which means she started med school around 28, which would support this idea.** And, of course, the show uses a mild version of WebcomicTime, so any actors who ''were'' an appropriate age when hired will eventually outgrow their characters.* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Of all the new surgical interns, only one is a male. {{Enforced}} by The Powers That Be, since the show is about "[[WordOfGod smart women competing with each other]]." George was originally meant to be the only male intern in season 1; Alex was later added due to ExecutiveMeddling.** In seasons 9-10, Shane is TheOneGuy.** Bailey said that as an intern, she was the only female in her class. However, a flashback to her intern year in "The Time Warp" shows that she was in a totally gender-even class. * InelegantBlubbering: Izzie on occasion, especially during her "What about ''me''?" speech to Denny. Cristina gets a few moments too.* InfantImmortality: Sadly averted and subverted on numerous occasions.* InformedAbility: Amy Shephard is supposed to be one of the best neurosurgeons in the country, but so far she's crippled or killed 99% of her patients.* InSeriesNickname: Quite a few, actually.** Derek is "Dr. [=McDreamy=]".** For a few seasons, Miranda was called "The Nazi", which officially ended after she operated on an actual white supremacist.** George acquired the nickname "007" in Season 1 after nearly killing his first patient.** Mark Sloan was briefly called "[=McSteamy=]" when he was first introduced.** Lexie is called "Little Grey" by some characters, and "Lexiepedia" due to her PhotographicMemory.** Meredith and Melissa George's short-lived character Sadie called each other "Death" (Meredith) and "Die" (Sadie).** Owen calls Cristina and Meredith "the twisted sisters".** The new interns call Meredith "Medusa" and, for a little while, called Bailey "BCB" ("Booty-Call Bailey").* InsufferableGenius: Cristina. Just... Cristina. Dr. Burke as well, to some extent.** When Christina becomes a teaching resident in season 5, she refuses to let her interns do any work on patients, convinced none of them are smart enough to keep up with her. * InterchangeableAsianCultures: In the second episode, Izzie asks Cristina to translate for a woman who only speaks Chinese. It works as well as you'd expect--especially since Cristina grew up in Beverly Hills.-->"The only Chinese I know is from a Mr. Chow's menu. Besides, I'm Korean."* TheIntern: A whole bunch of them. Only temporary, though, and then they promote.* IntroductionByHookup: The day before Meredith starts her new job as a surgical intern she has a one night stand. The next day she finds out her partner, Derek, works as an attending at the same hospital.* {{Irony}}: The Season Six Finale has two significant examples.** Dramatic/Tragic: During the spree killing, type 2 DoggedNiceGuy Charles Percy, [[spoiler: who is dying of a gunshot wound]], asks Dr. Bailey to find Reed after everything is over and tell her about how he'd loved her all this time. Unknown to both him and Bailey, [[spoiler: Reed was in fact the first person to die when the shooting started]].** Situational: The shooter, Gary Clark, brought along a flask filled with vodka, just in case he needed some "liquid courage"; leaving some ammunition behind instead. As he explains:-->'''Gary Clark''': "The funny part is, I didn't need a drink until now. Right now. And the only reason I need a drink is because� '''I've only got one bullet left'''. (laughs) I left bullets at home because I thought I'd need a drink, and I only reason I need a drink because I don't have enough bullets!"* ItNeverGetsAnyEasier: Although, in part, it can be [[JustifiedTrope excused]] by the fact that the people who tend to die are the people the protagonists cared about in the first place.** After [=McDreamy=] [[HeroicBSOD broke down]], he was shown a pile of those whom he killed and those whom he had saved. The ratio was 10:1, dead to alive.*** In fairness, [=McDreamy=] is known for taking on cases that everybody else says are hopeless. If anything, he should probably be proud of himself for not giving up on them.* ItsAllAboutMe: {{justified}}. April's trying to have a wedding day, but Arizona and Meredith and Cristina all drag their {{Conflict Ball}}s in instead of being bridesmaids. She tells them to get their priorities in order, and to everyone's credit, they do.* ItsPersonal / OneOfOurOwn: Occasionally (yet still more often than believable), the patient of the day will be related to one of the cast. [[RuleOfDrama Drama ensues]].** So far, we've had Meredith's mother (''more than once''), father, and stepmother. The latter two are also Lexie's parents, so they get bonus points on that one. We've also had George's father, Izzie's daughter, and Alex's brother. Plus Meredith's friend Sadie Harris, and Meredith's mother's scrub nurse. Oh, and Dr. Webber's niece, and Addison's brother. And Dr. Webber's wife, Adele, Bailey's son and husband, Meredith and Lexie's youngest sister, and Izzie's love interest, Denny Duquette. This is all even without counting the times the characters ''themselves'' needed to be operated on. So far, we've had Meredith (''more than once''), Cristina, George, Izzie, Alex, Dr. Webber, Derek, Dr. Burke, Owen, Mark, Callie, Arizona, and Heather Brooks.** And in season 8, even though [[spoiler:George is dead]] his mom drops in.* IvyLeagueForEveryone: Meredith went to Dartmouth, Mark and Addison went to Columbia, Lexie and Amelia went to Harvard, and Jo went to Princeton (and graduated first in her class.) Other notable alma maters include Stanford (Cristina) and Bowdoin (Derek,) both of which are very selective schools. ** slightly justified in that the surgical program at the hospital is stated to be very good/competitive so it makes sense that many of them are from high-ranking schools. * JerkassBall: Meredith in the season 9 premiere. Somewhat justified considering [[spoiler: her sister just died, her husband has a hand injury that might compromise his career, and her best friend is halfway across the country and they are unable to visit each other]]. However, this gives her a Bailey-esque reputation with her interns. * JerkassHasAPoint: Alex has the absurd capacity to tell the truth in the most offensive way possible.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Alex. Later seasons show how much he cares for kids. He's still an ass though to most grown-ups.* LampshadeHanging:** In Season Six, Alex points out that Meredith simply ''thinks'' she's married, but (to the best of our knowledge) isn't actually or legally wed.** The fact that everyone has inappropriate relationships is lampshaded in a season seven episode.** The MusicalEpisode lampshaded the high casualty rate. They actually called the hospital "Seattle Grace Mercy Death". (Lampshaded again in the Season 8 finale, [[WhamEpisode somewhat less whimsically]].)* LaserGuidedKarma: In season 1 episode 4 Cristina effectively steals a patient's chart so she can get in on an interesting whipple surgery, then a guy comes in having survived falling down stairs and shooting himself repeatedly in the head with a nail gun but she's told she's on the whipple. [[spoiler: Then it turns out that the patient is really in for palliative care and was never likely to under go the surgery as her condition was terminal.]]** In the first episode of Season 5, Cristina loses it over Meredith constantly coming to her with relationship issues, and tells her off. Immediately after, she slips and falls. [[ContrivedCoincidence Oh, and is then struck by a falling icicle]].* LawOfInverseFertility: This happens a lot. Addison gets pregnant while she's cheating on her husband. She ends up getting an abortion. She then decides to have a child of her own, and finds out getting pregnant is practically impossible. This carries over into ''PrivatePractice''. Meanwhile, after having a miscarriage, Meredith is unable to conceive when Callie and Cristina (for the second time) learn they're pregnant. Happens again a few seasons later when April has an unplanned pregnancy while Callie finds out she can't carry another child. * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Bed-bound, Rebecca Pope's only entertainment is eavesdropping on the nurses gossip.--> '''Rebecca''': "It's like watching a soap!"* LeftHanging: Unusual for ''Grey's'', the Season 8 Finale, one of the periodic "disaster" episodes, leaves many loose ends over for the next season the incident wasn't even resolved, and the first two episodes of Season 9 were dedicated to showing the aftermath.* LetsWaitAwhile: Erica and Callie agree to wait before having sex because they are unsure they're ready to have sex with another woman. However, in the next episode, in what is assumed to be another date, they have sex.* LikeBrotherAndSister: Alex and Jo, who claim their friendship is like this and [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend deny they have feelings for each other]]. Jo seems disgusted by the idea.** (Then they hook up.)* LimitedSocialCircle: For a major hospital, the important cases--and the twisty relationships-- all seem to occur in the same corner of the surgery department. Occasionally {{lampshade|Hanging}}d, such as with Derek's "junior varsity" shadow, who we only meet once and whose name none of the main characters can remember.** This could be expanded to the hospital itself which seems to only have a surgery department, to the point where the chief of surgery is the head of the entire hospital. Each department only seems to have one attending. This is most notable in the case of orthopedics. Callie is the only ortho surgeon we've met, despite her being a resident at the start of the show. A mere three years out of residency she is now effectively running the department. Another one was mentioned, though he seems to have retired.* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Started with "only" nine characters in the credits, topped out at fourteen, and is frequently supplemented by {{Fake Guest Star}}s. Some Season 9 episodes have had credits that span the length of the entire second act.* LongRunner: Twelve seasons and still going strong, though five of the original nine stars [[spoiler:(Isaiah Washington, T.R. Knight, Katherine Heigl, Sandra Oh and Patrick Dempsey)]] have left the show.** LongRunnerCastTurnover: See above. Although those five have left, over a dozen actors whose characters were introduced later have become series regulars, at least temporarily. * LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Alex and Meredith both used to do this; Alex at the beginning (through the middle) of the series, and Meredith after losing Derek to Addison.* LoveDodecahedron: George loves Meredith, who loves Derek, who can't decide whether he loves Meredith or Addison, who also is still in love with Derek, but at one point was in love with [=McSteamy=], who hit on Erica, who made out with Callie, who was love with George, who had an affair with Izzie? Let's just say that the gurneys in this hospital are rarely free to actually hold patients.** The Izzie-Alex-Denny and Meredith-Finn-Derek love triangles and Addison/Alex relationship add further complications. * LowerDeckEpisode: Season 9's "Love Turns You Upside Down" focuses on the interns. They're contrasted with major characters who started the show as interns but are now attending surgeons.* LukeIAmYourFather: In Season 2 Episode 24, "Break On Through", Izzie mentions to a pregnant teenager she's treating that she feels she can empathize with her, as she also got pregnant as a teenager. That child later shows up as a young leukemia patient, who needed a bone marrow transplant. Izzie donates anonymously and leaves the girl with her adoptive family. Meredith also gets a "Luke, I Am Your Stepmother" moment.* LukeYouAreMyFather: In Season 6, it turns out [[spoiler:Dr. Sloan]] has an 18-year-old daughter... [[spoiler:named ''Sloan'']]. Slightly subverted in that they ''knew'' about the pregnancy, but ended the relationship and he assumed there was an abortion.** In season 10, Maggie shows up and reveals that she is [[spoiler: Richard Webber's]] daughter.* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: And ''how''. Each of the attendings we see seems to be a one-person department. And the surgeons seem to be pretty much the only doctors in the hospital. If a main character gets paged and doesn't show, there's never anybody else to do the job. There are no emergency medicine specialists manning the ER, there are no oncology specialists (or department, for that matter), we've only seen a couple of anaesthesiologists on-screen and so on.* MamaBear: Dr Bailey shows shades of this towards her five interns, specifically when Cristina [[spoiler:needed surgery to remove the fetus and fallopian tube due to an extrauterine pregnancy]] and when George [[spoiler:got hit by a bus and died.]] * MandatoryMotherhood: Averted by most of the main cast, but [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzagged]] with [[spoiler: Callie and Arizona]]; the former wants children and the latter doesn't. They eventually [[spoiler:break up over it]]. However, in the [[SeasonFinale Season Six Finale]], all the recent carnage makes [[spoiler:Arizona]] rethink her position and decide that not having kids wasn't worth not being with [[spoiler:Callie]]. [[spoiler: Callie]] comes to the same opinion, and tells [[spoiler:Arizona]] that not having kids isn't worth losing her, but [[spoiler:Arizona]] overrides her and tells her [[EasyEvangelism she can't live without her and their ten kids]].* MarriedToTheJob:** Adele leaves Richard because of this (though the whole "Ellis Grey affair" really didn't help).** Bailey's husband Tucker divorced her because she's spending too much time at the hospital, you know, saving lives. She fears this will happen when she marries Ben, though he assures her it won't as he is also busy with work, quitting his job as an anesthesiologist to study medicine and eventually become a surgeon.* MauveShirt: Falling in love with patients usually isn't a good idea. * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: "Some Kind of Miracle" and later Izzie's cancer subplot both smacked of this. Meredith, while nearly drowning, hallucinates an afterlife populated by some notable dead characters, including her dog, the bomb squad guy, and Denny Duquette. [[OrWasItADream Or Was It a Hallucination]]? Denny at one point tells her that occasionally he and Izzie will happen to be in the same place at the same time, and feel one another's presence, and toward the end of the episode we see this actually happen in the real world. It sheds new light on Izzie's hallucinations of Denny in Season 5, which were ruled symptomatic of the cancer spreading to her brain. Nothing is confirmed either way, and it's really up to viewer personal preference whether or not the afterlife/ghosts exist in this show's universe or not. * MedicalDrama, of course.* MusicalEpisode: With a similar explanation to ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', in that it's from the point of view of a patient, [[spoiler:Callie.]] What, you thought they were going to waste [[TheCastShowoff Sara Ramirez's]] [[Theatre/{{Spamalot}} Tony-winning]] vocal chops?.** 12 months after this episode aired, Shonda Rhimes put together a benefit concert in Los Angeles, where many of the show's stars performed covers of songs live, many of them having been featured in said musical episode. The concert proved that there were a lot of people in this show's cast who can sing, not just Ramirez.* MySisterIsOffLimits: Meredith and Derek tell Mark to stay away from Lexie. It doesn't work.* TheNicknamer:** Meredith has a habit of nicknaming the men she finds attractive.** Cristina starts naming her interns [[ThemeNaming after]] the names of [[Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs The Seven Dwarfs]] or names that are close enough. The interns themselves do this, such as calling Meredith "Medusa" and Bailey BCB (Booty Call Bailey).* NoAntagonist: There is no BigBad, no TheManBehindTheMan; it is all very much slice-of-life. There ''are'' jerkasses, but no characters come close enough to be [[VillainyFreeVillain Villainy Free Villains]] yet.* NoBisexuals: Refreshingly [[AvertedTrope averted]] with Callie Torres, who is explicitly identified as ''bisexual'' rather than lesbian, despite being married to a woman. However, Erica Hahn plays it straight, identifying as lesbian despite Callie being her first female partner (after a very long string of men), and even going so far as to claim that "you can't be kind of a lesbian". * NotSoDifferent: Alex and his new intern Jo who he calls "princess" because he thinks she's rich and spoiled. It turns it that, like him, she spent most of her childhood in various foster homes and had to work hard to get where she is. Cristina also realizes that [[CoolOldGuy Dr. Thomas]] and her are a lot alike.* OfficialCoupleOrdealSyndrome: Pretty much ever since Callie came out, she has been together with Arizona, despite all the slings and arrows that fate lobbed at them. They even lampshade how weird it is that ''they'' are the resident go-to couple for romantic advice. But it sure was a hell of a lot of slings and arrows! [[spoiler:No longer applies as of season 11, when Callie realizes that she is no longer happy with Arizona]].* OnlyMostlyDead: Invokes this far too often for a MedicalDrama. First with Meredith who [[spoiler: drowns]], then with Izzie who [[spoiler: codes in the season 5 finale]], then with Derek [[spoiler: who gets shot in the chest]], zig-zagged with Mark, though, who fades in and out while stranded in a forest for days, only to die once he's taken off life support. -->[[spoiler: '''Christina''' (describing time in the forest): Mark kept dying...it was so annoying]]* OldNewBorrowedAndBlue: In the Season 5 Finale, when Meredith and Derek decide to get married, Cristina gives her an old grocery list, a new post-it, and her favorite blue pen (which also counts as borrowed, since she wants it back). * OnlySaneMan: Dr Bailey is the only member of the cast who never seems to forget that she's a doctor, not an eighth grader. The Chief also often seems like he's visiting from a normal universe.** Erica was also this, with copious amounts of LampshadeHanging. * PatientOfTheWeek: with the added responsibility of frequently delivering {{anvilicious}} {{aesop}}s that apply to the main characters and their Problems Of The Week. In the episode aired on 17 October 2013 alone:** A girl who is an {{expy}} of the eponymous character in ''Literature/MySistersKeeper'' tried to say No and have her own life, teaching one of the doctors to make a clean break(up).** A character managed to get [[ItMakesSenseInContext hornet stings]] on a [[GroinAttack sensitive area]], requiring a catheter. His wife knows about his odd habit, but feels that "500 other wonderful things" outweigh one (HeadTiltinglyKinky) flaw. This gave another doctor the dialogue she needed to deal with her boyfriend's mother, who before TheTeaser had caught them [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces in a delicate situation]].** Oh, and the third patient might be someone's father, though that doctor's ParentalAbandonment issues are getting in the way of any real communication.* PermaStubble: Dr. Mark Sloan's typical look of choice. George even stops shaving to get Meredith's attention. Denny as well, though he has an excuse. Lampshaded by Derek in a Season 3 episode:-->'''Meredith''': It's now become physically impossible for me to kiss your face. -->'''Derek''': I'm [[PunctuatedForEmphasis too. Tired. To shave!!]]* PhotographicMemory: Lexie, who is called "Lexiepedia" as a result.* PlanningForTheFutureBeforeTheEnd: [[spoiler: Mark Sloan]]. At the time he knows he is going to die, but everyone else wants to believe that he has woken up from his coma for good.* PlotTime: In reality, mergers are extremely tedious and time-consuming. Even two small organizations (like hospitals) should take weeks or months, as their respective owners will need to do their due diligence, review each other's financial statements, negotiate terms, consult lawyers, etc etc. In the world of Grey's Anatomy, a merger can be decided on after one meeting with the board, and announced only days later. Though in all fairness they took a large chunk of the fifth season speculating about it.** Seasons 1 through 3 supposedly cover a one year span, with Season 3 covering prom time to med school graduation time, a whopping 3 months. The beginning of Season 4 to the beginning of Season 6 equates another 10 months, though Season 6 may actually be a year, given that a number of episodes elapse weeks in time (including one that features Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all rolled in one).*** It does however make you wonder how Bailey managed to mentor the interns for quite a while, then get pregnant, give birth, take maternity leave, return and mentor the interns for quite a while... in a span of ten months.*** Bailey was already pregnant when the show began. By the time she revealed it to George, she was quite far along. ** Season 9 has veered practically into TimeyWimeyBall territory here. In the premiere, [[TonightSomeoneDies someone dies]] and gets an epitaph closing card: "[[spoiler:Mark]] [[spoiler:Sloan]], 1968-2012." The same episode has videotaped {{flashback}}s to other moments in the deceased's life, including a wedding marked "2009"--though the episode that depicted this wedding aired in May 2011. In the second episode (itself a WholeEpisodeFlashback), Meredith claims to Cristina that they first met (in Season 1) five years ago. Then in the 7th episode Meredith discovers she's three weeks pregnant; she gives birth in the finale. This means the entire season is a minimum of about 10 months long, covering more Plot time than it does RealLife time!* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: A two-part episode near the end of Season 3 served as the launch for ''Series/PrivatePractice'', a vehicle for (then) ''Grey's'' regular Creator/KateWalsh as Addison Montgomery.* PosthumousCharacter: Denny Duquette, starting in season 3.* PrecisionFStrike: When the new security system implemented after the shooting malfunctions and traps Dr. Avery and a patient in a hallway, Teddy, who has spent a good season and a half being whiny about men, finally [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass]] and remembers that she was in the army, for Chrissake, and yells at the security guard to "open the FUCKING door." It's bleeped, though, because it's a special episode told [[ShowWithinAShow in documentary form]] as cameras follow the doctors around.** Mark, in the same episode, says that since Derek was shot he finally understands what it feels like to be the families of their patients. "It feels like shit."* ProductPlacement: Not frequent, but every so often the show will have the hospital acquire some cutting-edge medical technology and then show the doctors [[{{Squee}} squeeing]] over it. The [=DaVinci=] surgical robot and the Lodox body scanner are two prominent examples.* PromotedToOpeningTitles: Something like twenty actors have managed to score this trope for themselves. [[note]] Kate Walsh in early Season 2, Sara Ramirez in Season 3, Eric Dane in early Season 3, Chyler Leigh in Season 4, Brooke Smith in early Season 4, Kevin [=McKidd=] in late Season 5, Jessica Capshaw in Season 6, Kim Raver in late Season 6, Sarah Drew and Jesse Williams in Season 7, Camilla Luddington, Gaius Charles, Jerrika Hinton and Tessa Ferrer in Season 10, Caterina Scorsone and Kelly [=McCreary=] in Season 11, and Jason George, Martin Henderson, and Giacomo Gianniotti in season 12.[[/note]]* PromotedToParent: Derek was this to his four sisters, as well as Alex to his two siblings.* PunBasedTitle: From the medical book ''Gray's Anatomy''.* PutOnABus: Many of the show's main characters have left due to various circumstances.[[note]] Burke and Addison at the end of season 3 (Burke left Cristina at the altar and then left town, while Addison moved to L.A. to head the spin-off PrivatePractice), Erica Hahn in early season 5 (broke off her relationship with Callie and left Seattle Grace; the actress was let go due to ExecutiveMeddling), Izzie left in season 6 (left Alex after surviving her cancer, [[TheBusCameBack returned to take him back]], only for him to reject her, causing her to leave again), Teddy at the end of season 7 (taking a job at the United States Army Medical Command), Cristina and Shane at the end of season 10 (both moved to Switzerland after receiving jobs there), Leah also in season 10 (fired from the surgical program, though TheBusCameBack in season 13), Callie at the end of season 12 (moved to New York with Penny after she got a job there), and [[spoiler:Stephanie at the end of season 13 after the ordeal with the fire.]][[/note]]* RealityEnsues: So the characters who won the lawsuit in season 9 are all set buy the hospital, only they don't have enough money. The investor they hoped to get last minute rejected their proposal on the grounds that none of them have any kind of experience running a hospital. When they get Richard, who has many years of experience as the chief, to help them out, the investor still rejects them because he just isn't that interested.** Happens again in Season 10. Attendings sleeping with interns has become so common (''four'' of the five interns introduced in Season 9 have seduced or been seduced by their bosses) that nobody batted an eye about it... until HR instituted a strict no-fraternization policy, something they should've done in the pilot episode. (If it weren't for the fact that, if they did, [[NecessaryWeasel we wouldn't have a show]].)** Alex walks into the apartment he shares with Jo and finds her nearly naked with [=DeLuca=] lying on top of her and reaches the wrong but understandable conclusion. He proceeds to beat the crap out of [=DeLuca=] so badly that he has to be hospitalized. Rather than let it go, [=DeLuca=] files a police report and Alex is arrested and charged with felony assault; he also is suspended from his job and has to work in the clinic.* RashomonStyle: 6x06, an after-the-fact investigation into how a patient managed to be overlooked to death. An interesting version in that the stories are almost completely consistent, just fragmented, and by the end one full narrative is pieced together.* RedBaron: Bailey used to be called The Nazi.* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Pretty frequently, resulting in RevolvingDoorCasting.** In a more direct version of this trope, Episode 9x19 is a VerySpecialEpisode involving a mother, played by [[Series/{{Scrubs}} Sarah Chalke]], who is convinced her child has Kawasaki's Disease but [[CassandraTruth can't get any doctors to listen]]. This is based on Chalke's own panicked experiences with getting a diagnosis for her son Charlie, and she essentially plays herself.* ReallyGetsAround: Alex and Mark. ** Meredith [[LookingForLoveInAlltheWrongPlaces when Derek breaks up with her]], which makes him jealous and tells her that she and Alex should get together, since he also likes to get around a lot.* RedHerring: "There's a Fine, Fine Line" features a Code Pink (i.e. a missing child) [[spoiler: which seems as though it will be the main source of drama for the episode. It turns out the child is quickly found, but Ben performed an emergency C-section while the hospital was on lockdown, and both the mother and baby end up dead.]]* RelationshipUpgrade: In Season 11, Alex discovers he is now Meredith's "person" due to Christina's departure. * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Gary Clark's reason for shooting up the hospital in the Season Six Finale is to "be a man" for his wife, Alison, who had been a patient at the hospital and ended up being taken off of life support.]]* RomanticFalseLead: Finn ("[=McVet=]") for Meredith, Addison and Rose for Derek, Julia for Mark (even if he only confirms this on his deathbed). * RousingSpeech: Happens annoyingly often. Special mention goes to [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Meredith's speech to Kate Carlson]] in "No Good At Saying Sorry".* RuleOfDrama: Often an example of this being done well, such as the Season 6 finale. Just as often an example of this being done badly, such as the Season 5 finale.* RunningGag: Derek's thing for ferryboats.* SassyBlackWoman: Give it up for Miranda Bailey, everybody! Ironically, this appears to be the root of her nickname, "the Nazi." Goebbels and Eichmann were always giving each other the 'Z' snap, girl!** After having to operate on a genuine white supremacist, she asks not to be called this anymore.* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Derek eventually settles this way when the operators of the crashed plane offer to settle.* SexSells: An episode that aired after a Super Bowl started with female cast members showering. Turns out, George is dreaming. It [[BookEnds ended the same way]], only [[spoiler:Izzie and Cristina were cleaning the remains of the Bomb Squad guy off Meredith, with George watching]].* ShipSinking: "Do You Know?" does this quite effectively for Cristina/Owen. Cristina imagines two alternate futures for herself and Owen, both of which end with at least one of them dissatisfied and bitter. In the first, they remarry and Cristina gives Owen the children he wanted, and the resulting strain on her life ends with her [[spoiler: passing an important case to Shane, for which he eventually wins a Harper Avery. At various points, including the birth of her first child, she expresses to Meredith how getting back together with Owen was a huge mistake]]. In the second, they continue their no-strings-attached sexual relationship, resulting in a MasochismTango in which they repeatedly break up and reunite, and while Cristina is successful and wins multiple Harper Averys, Owen's desire for children and a family [[spoiler: ultimately drives him to alcoholism and gets him fired]]. By the end, it's almost impossible to argue that they should be together. * SmallNameBigEgo: Katherine Heigl, apparently. And Shonda Rhimes herself.** Debatable in Rhimes' case. She may have an ego, but being the creative force behind three successful shows gives her quite a big name...* SoapOperaDisease: Annoyingly common, given that this is supposedly a show about real medicine. Most obvious with [[spoiler: Izzie's cancer]].* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: A subdued example in Zola, Meredith & Derek's adopted daughter. While the series is pretty vague about the passage of time and she's skipping months instead of years, it's still happening.* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler:Meredith gets pregnant right after Derek told her he wanted another baby, and Derek dies in a car accident the following day.]]* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's Cristina, not Christina.* SpinOff: ''PrivatePractice'' follows Addison Montgomery, after she leaves Seattle Grace for a new life.* SplitScreen: Episode 9x05 used it extensively.* StatusQuoIsGod: Played straight in that no matter what, Dr. Webber always seems to end up being chief of staff, and Alex will inevitably undo his CharacterDevelopment. Subverted in that Meredith and Derek have actually stayed married with less drama (compared to how the on-again, off-again relationship stage was). ** Though Webber isn't the chief of staff anymore, Owen is, he keeps trying to retire but doesn't stick to it.** At the end of season 8, Meredith, Derek, Cristina, Alex, Jackson, and April are all preparing to leave Seattle Grace. As of the beginning of season 9, only [[spoiler: Teddy and Cristina]] have actually left, and after five episodes [[spoiler: in Minnesota, Cristina is back]]. Somewhat justified considering the repercussions of the [[spoiler: plane crash]]. This was due to [[RealLifeWritesThePlot real-life circumstances.]]** No matter how many times April gets fired, it doesn't stick.* StockTrailerMusic: Whatever the sad and contemplative (e.g. The Fray's "How to Save a Life") popular song is at the time, chances are the trailer for the new episode/season will feature it.* StoryArc: The writing tends to follow this style, and usually, each character is involved in more than one per season.* StressVomit: Episode 1: Meredith almost kills a patient through inaction. After a stressful moment that patient is saved and Meredith endures the scorn of her attending physician and her resident. She rushes out of the hospital into the pouring rain to empty her guts tastefully into the bushes.* SueDonym: Calliope ... ''Plantain.''* SurvivorGuilt: Alex, after the Season-8-finale plane crash--especially since one of the most-injured parties ([[spoiler:Arizona]]) was there to replace him after he was his typical {{Jerkass}} self and backed out. It's made worse when Arizona tells Alex it's his fault.* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: After the actor who played Ben, Bailey's LoveInterest, moved to Rhimes' short-lived show ''Series/OffTheMap'', Eli became her love interest. Both relationships had a similar dynamic. Then [[TheBusCameBack Ben came back]] after the series was cancelled and Eli was never seen again.* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Congratulations, [[spoiler: Richard Webber, on managing to squeeze your very own SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome into the very end of the Season Six Finale]].* TalkingYourWayOut: In the Season Six Finale, [[spoiler: Dr. Shepherd attempts this with Gary Clark, the hospital shooter. And fails. It works for April Kepner, though.]] It also worked for [[spoiler:Callie on behalf of herself, Arizona, and a child with a ruptured appendix.]]* TelevisuallyTransmittedDisease: Used ''relentlessly'' by this show. For specific examples, see the trope's page.* ThatCameOutWrong: Season 9 has the hospital hire someone to help them save money to keep it running, this person brings in a guy to teach the surgeons a standard way of doing a specific procedure. When Dr. Webber still wants to do it his way, saying it would be good for the patients, the guy says the patients don't matter. He tries to VerbalBackspace, but [[MoneyDearBoy the reason he was there in the first place was not to help the patients.]]* TheirFirstTime: played both ways in Season 4.** Izzie and George, finally free to sleep with each other without commitments (like [[YourCheatingHeart his wife]]) looming over their heads, find that the chemistry has disappeared, and no matter how hard they try, it isn't any good.** In the two-part finale, boyfriend-and-girlfriend brain-tumor patients, facing a risky experimental treatment, enlist Meredith and Derek to stand guard against their parents while they play "MustNotDieAVirgin" totally straight.* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. Being trained professionals, the protagonists call for psych. consults fairly often, and also attend themselves. Meredith in particular is in and out of the offices of various shrinks, and while they are often PlayedForLaughs initially, they always end up being right and helpful.* TheThreeCertaintiesInLife: The title character once remarked, "In life only one thing is certain, besides death and taxes... No matter how hard we try, no matter how good our intentions, we are going to make mistakes."* ThisIsUnforgivable: After finding out Meredith messed with the Alzheimer's trial, Derek tells her that he will never forgive her and that he can't raise a child with someone who doesn't know right from wrong. He, of course, [[EasilyForgiven forgives her]] a few episodes later.* TimeSkip: one after each WhamEpisode (Season 6 finale, Season 8 finale). Typically followed up by at least one FlashBack-centered episode covering HowWeGotHere.** A ''nested'' TimeSkip occurs in Season 9, with the first episode setting up a CharacterDeath and the second resolving (IE setting up) both that ''and'' the Season 8 CliffHanger.** Happens again in Season 10 for the mid-season premiere. This time of only three weeks.** "She's Leaving Home" in season 11 features multiple skips and spans nearly an entire year.* TitleOnlyOpening: In later seasons, there's TheTeaser, a title card, and then credits that run under the second act. Sometimes [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters the entirety of the second act]].* TogetherInDeath: With [[spoiler: Mark and Lexie]] She dies in the season 8 finale as he's telling her that he loves her. As he's slipping into a coma (he doesn't actually die until after he wakes up the next season), he says "[[spoiler: Lexie]]'s waiting for me ... I'll be okay." What makes this moment especially tragic is that they never got to get back together.* TokenMinority: {{Averted}}; blind casting was used for most all of the characters, as there were no racial specifics in the pilot episode. The only change that was made was that Cristina's character was given a Korean last name.* TooManyBabies: Several season 2 episodes are centered around a mom who chose to keep all 5 of her babies, even though the doctors had recommended she have 1 or 2 of the fetuses terminated.* TroubledButCute: Alex falls under this umbrella. * TrueCompanions: Not very apparent at first view but it's definitely there. Especially when everyone cooperates to let Callie see her daughter.** As the hospital creeps closer to bankruptcy in Season 9 it becomes more evident. Five characters enter into a conspiracy to save the hospital, with the other six stars left in the dark; but the instant they hear about it, they forgive the troubles caused thereby and join the effort.* UnequalPairing: Quite a few. An Attending dating an Intern or Resident is treated as a serious issue in Season One, but in later seasons it is par for the course. * VerbalTic: "She has my [=McDreamy=], she has my [=McDog=], ''she has my [=McLife=].''" Will you [=McShut=] Up Already?** I gotta go choke back some [=McVomit=].** Seriously? Seriously! SERIOUSLY!?** You're my person.* VerySpecialEpisode: One of the {{Trope Codifier}}s for this UndeadHorseTrope.* WeHardlyKnewYe: A couple characters are introduced early in Season Six and then killed off in the WhamEpisode finale.** From Season 2: [[spoiler: Dylan Young, that bomb squad guy who was introduced in one episode, then blown up (literally) in the next episode.]] He did come back later for a couple episodes ... as a ghost.** A number of new characters are introduced in the Season 9 premiere. One of them croaks exactly a year later.* WhamEpisode:** The Season Two Finale, a three-part episode that begins with multiple gunshot injuries arriving at the hospital after a disgruntled employee attacks his place of work. The first of three parts end with Izzie [[NeverLiveItDown cutting the LVAD wire]] in an attempt to get her ill boyfriend at the top of the transplant list. "[Heart surgeon] Burke will be here soon," she promises... just as the gunman shoots Burke down. And that's just the first DramaBomb.** The Season Six Finale. Looking it over, there were only two characters that were never in direct mortal danger: [[spoiler: Teddy Altman and Mark Sloan]].** The Season 8 finale: [[spoiler: Lexie's death, Owen firing Teddy, and--oh yeah--the plane crash, with five main characters stranded in the middle of somewhere-between-Seattle-and-Idaho, all of them injured.]]** The Season 9 premiere. [[spoiler:Meredith and Cristina are cut off from each other, save [=FaceTime=], because neither of them can stand to take plane trips anymore. Derek's injuries have resulted in his left hand going numb, which may do nothing less than end his career as a surgeon. Arizona's broken leg had to be amputated--by Alex. Mark has reached the end of his living will and is taken off life support. And Meredith has transformed from GrumpyBear into full-on BrokenBird.]]** A season ten episode, "Sorry Seems To Be Hardest Word" flashes back to late season nine and reveals [[spoiler: Callie and Arizona decided to have another baby, but Arizona miscarried her pregnancy.]]** "How to Save a Life" in season 11, in which [[spoiler: Derek is killed off.]]* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:** The Season 8 finale involves a plane crash, and the plane's pilot is a character. It takes several episodes of Season 9 before he's even ''mentioned'' again ([[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNAnaVBfDwE he broke his back in the crash and is paralyzed.]] This information comes to light when one of the lawyers representing Seattle Grace Mercy West suggests suing a number of people and organizations, including the pilot, for the plane crash.]]** Dr. Stark. When Arizona is rehired, it's with the express understanding that she will report to him, and then we have exactly one episode of them coming into conflict before he disappears and she's right back to running the department with never a word about him.** Dr. Russell, who has had three scenes since Cristina came back and has told her that she will run the cardiothoracic surgery department in all but name. She certainly does!* WhatIf: Season 8's "If/Then"* WhatTheHellHero: ** Christina gives one to Bailey for calling her out of a major surgery to tend to a white supremacist patient just because she's Asian and for the purpose of making the supremacist uncomfortable. She points out that denying her an educational experience just to prove a point about ethnicity is its own form of discrimination.** Alex gets one after telling the chief that Meredith was tampering with the Alzheimer's trial, which gets her [[StatusQuoIsGod (temporarily)]] fired. What she did was illegal and ruined her husband's credibility, though [[MoralMyopia he's seen as being more in the wrong]] because she was trying to help a friend and he told on her out of spite and to ruin her chances of becoming Chief Resident.** Owen gets one from Meredith after he [[spoiler:cheats on Cristina]].** Richard gets one from a staff member from the nursing home calls him out when he stops visiting his wife.** Alex gives one to Meredith and Cristina in Season 9: [[spoiler:the plane crash lawsuit, followed by their resignations, are threatening to drag the hospital under]].** A very distraught and heartbroken Amelia to Meredith in season 11, for very good reasons: [[spoiler:Meredith pulled the plug on Derek and didn't tell Amelia, preventing her from saying goodbye to her brother. Understandably, Amelia feels resentful towards Meredith for doing so]].* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "The Time Warp", which has Richard, Bailey, and Callie talk about cases that changed their lives. Richard talks about how he and Ellis treated an AIDS patient during the 80s (when it was stilled called GRID), while Callie talks about her and Alex doing a surgery on a patient who suffered from polio, and Bailey talked about her early days of being a shy intern and dealing with a neglectful resident and learning to stand up for herself and her patients.* WhyWasteAWedding: Meredith and Derek seemed finally ready to tie the knot, but opted out so the cancerous and dying Izzy could marry Alex before she became too weak to walk down the aisle.* WillTheyOrWontThey: TheyDo - Meredith and Derek, Callie and Arizona. Izzie and Alex, but she was PutOnABus. Mark and Lexie [[spoiler: don't]]. Cristina and Owen have recently gotten divorced, but this if anything seems to have ''strengthened'' their relationship. April and Jackson do. ** Cristina breaks up with Owen again at the end of season 9 since Cristina realized he wanted to have children and she never wants to. She thinks he'll never be happy with her because of this, and at the beginning of season 10 she says that this time they are broken up for good.** As of season 10, Callie and Arizona are broken up due to Arizona's cheating and are seeing a marriage counselor. * YouAreNotAlone: Owen does this for a homeless veteran, Melissa, who was living out of her car. Melissa is embarrassed, and says she just "fixed computers in the Green Zone." Owen explains that there are services for veterans, and she can volunteer herself later.-->Owen: "You served. And you deserved all the help and gratitude that's offered to you."* YourCheatingHeart: A recurring motif.** Owen. Cristina suspects he is cheating on her with a nurse played by Creator/SummerGlau, but he assures her that it isn't the case. Double subverted, when it's revealed he ''did'' cheat on her (dumbass) with someone who is ''not'' played by Creator/SummerGlau (double dumbass!).** George's girlfriend Olivia had been cheating on him with Alex, and he finds this out when he's diagnosed with syphilis. George later cheats on his then-wife Callie with Izzie.** Dr. Webber and Meredith's mother Ellis, who were both married to other people at the time.** In season 8 Dr. Webber finds his wife Adele is with another man at her nursing home. Justified since her dementia has advanced to the point where she barely remembers her husband anymore. Richard decides to let her go and starts dating Catherine Avery, though he and Adele remain married. He feels guilty about not seeing his wife [[spoiler: after her death.]]** Addison cheated on Derek with Mark, which is the reason why he left her. He cheated on her with Meredith when they got back together.** Arizona cheats on Callie in the season 9 finale.----

PEUGEOT AVENUE is emphasizing its "Animal Instinct" until 11 November 2013 at 136 avenue des Champs-Elysées: its new saloon, the sleek and distinguished PEUGEOT 308, and the ultra-sporty design of the 308 R Concept, are on show alongside the PEUGEOT EX1 and HX1 concept cars, which combine technology with environmental performance.
Illuminated sculptures of animals that personify the qualities of the new PEUGEOT are also on display.
|Concept car EX1 at Peugeot Avenue
PEUGEOT is the European leader in CO2 emissions, with the lowest average in Europe, yet makes no concessions on the sporty design of its models. The PEUGEOT EX1 & HX1 concept cars, designed with performance and the environment in mind, remain sources of inspiration for the brand: 100% electric propulsion for the roadster PEUGEOT EX1, hybrid diesel propulsion for the HX1.
The PEUGEOT RSR Di2 Ultegra BICYCLE, feline liveliness
The PEUGEOT RSR Di2 bicycle continues the line of PEUGEOT cycles, drawing on the best of the brand's know-how to combine rigidity, lightness and technology. The Shimano Ultegra Di2 electric gear system, with its extremely fast response, and the carbon-fibre frame combine to form a light and efficient whole that takes on a feline liveliness out on the road.

Blues Garden I Was There
I was with Blues Garden for the second show with Jerry Chambers, Gary Mallen, Bob Diltz and Jack Manahan. Talk about
a great night meeting some of my idols. In walks Bonzo, John Paul, Plant and followed by my guitar hero Page (of course I had to ask him some stupid guitar question). One particular moment I remember is Jonesy walking over to an old upright piano off stage-right, sitting down and playing a classical piano piece (think it was Chopin).
Our band sat out in the crowd for the first Zep show and they absolutely rocked. We then went up and did our show (a memorable version of "Almost Cut My Hair" was included). We then watched Zep's second show where Bonzo passed out on the drum kit (following at least one bottle of a Black and White or Red Label) but Page, Plant and Jones carried on admirably, alternately accenting notes by hitting the cymbals with the heads of their guitars. It was a huge disappointment but the Garden got a great review in the KC Star.

Hy magna750,
I'm glad to see that you have an open mind. Concerning the info you asked for, google it, but I seriously doubt that you'll find unbiased, objective report on ex-yu war. We (Serbs) didn't put any effort in media coverage while others used it to great extent. So that's why there aren't many vids and such of Serb exodus. And none are in English :(
few examples from youtube (some gruesome footage, pls advise):

Help---(bath tub)
We have a bathroom that is between the kitchen wall of cabniets and the outside walls and the bathroom is 5' wide and 8 feet long how do I get a new tub in and how do I get the old one out. please some one help it is a tight sqeeze.
What's the old tub made of?
How wide is the door opening?
After you remove some drywall the tub will tilt the hole using the open stud bay----tubs are usually 14 to 17 inched tall and will go through and common door opening.
Most tubs can be remove whole after the drain and overflow have been removed---
Some times cracking a cast iron tub with a sledge hammer is the easiest way----
the old tub is cast iron and the door opening is 24 in but we can make is 30in and this is the tub we bought but i think we nee to get a simplier one
That is 25 inches deep---that should be able to wiggle into the room through the 24 inch door---
door framing is 26 inches---removing the door frame might be needed, but I doubt it---
I hate busting up a cast iron tub with a sledge hammer. Be sure to wear ear plugs.
Is sometimes the best way to remove the old tub.l

I hate going into video rental stores. When you go to a rental store, you've got two options:
- Browse in the hopelessly outdated Family Friendly Section
- Browse in the new releases and constantly be assaulted by offensive, scary, or otherwise unwholesome movie covers
Redbox is a little better, but still not always "family friendly". That's why I was thrilled to hear about Mommy Bear Media. Though it's not a rental site, every movie on the site is PG-13 or below. Here's what the "About Us" page says:
Welcome to Mommy Bear Media! We are so glad you found us. We are a small family company dedicated to make shopping for your next favorite movie a good experience.
What makes our website different than any other website is that we only carry the "good stuff." What we mean by that is that we only have movies that are:
- No R, NC-17, TV-MA ratings
- Selective PG-13 and TV-14 ratings
- Not too much sex, violence, etc.
- If the movie or tv show is on www.commonsensemedia.org, we only include it if it's green age 14 or lower (that means movies they say are "on" for ages 14 and under)
- High quality
- Top-rated
- Are worth watching
- Have a good message
Taking A Look
As I watched the series, I remembered why I loved it so much. This show does a great job blending kid-like antics with real-life troubles. Within the first three shows, topics such as death of an acquaintance, class differences, job loss and job fulfilment are all covered. The producers make the problem real enough to drive home a point, but not overwhelmingly so. It would be a great show for preteens to watch with their parents or older kids to watch on their own.
Thinking about getting a movie for an upcoming Family Night? Head to Mommy Bear Media! With fast, free shipping — you've got nothing to lose (except the nightmares from looking at all those movie covers!).

2013: A New Beginning For Men
Men Had A Pretty Tough Year
Lately I've been watching The History Channel's excellent series The Men Who Built America. It chronicles (with high production values) the stories of men like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Ford and J.P. Morgan. It's pretty inspiring. All of these men built fortunes that in today's dollars would make even the wealthiest men today vomit with envy, and they all did it more or less on their own. Well, they also did it in large part thanks to a lack of labor laws, but that's not really central to my point so I'm going to table that for now. The point is not that we should all strive to become the next Rockefeller or Carnegie, because doing so requires a certain amount of hubris and obsession. Rather, the point is that these men all had drive, ambition and balls. Not just testicles, but balls — big brass ones.
I can't help but wonder that if more men today shared or at least aspired to these traits, no one — not women or otherwise — would be writing pithy pseudo-academic articles about the end of us as a gender. Have we bred the balls out of us? I'd like to think not, but maybe our modern definitions of ambition and drive are a bit different from what they once were. Having designs of becoming a successful lawyer or financier are nice, but they're a far cry from something on the scale of uniting two coasts via railroad. If we deify men like those titans of industry or sports stars, it's because we observe them achieving things that we perceive ourselves as incapable of achieving.
Even though 2012 wasn't a great year in terms of achievement, I hope it had value as a wake-up call for men everywhere. Great men have always been great because they dared to not only dream of ideas that were larger than life and would change the world, but attempt to execute them as well. If we want the respect many of us feel so entitled to, we have to earn it. Not everyone can become a self-made millionaire through entrepreneurship, but we can all aspire to something outside of our cubicle walls and act on those aspirations. Not everyone can write the next great novel or screenplay, but we can all create something. If we're content with complacency, to follow the path set out for us by men with dreams bigger than our own, then eventually someone else is going to take up our slack and innovate and change the world without us. If we're OK letting that happen, then maybe they were right. Maybe we are a bunch of useless pussies.
I don't want to live in that world. Let's all reach down, give ourselves a good manly scratch and make 2013 the year we show the world what real men are made of.

Just because you cannot readily see weapons doesn't mean there are no weapons.
Invade my home and you'll have no time to display a weapon...my guess is that you'll be leaving in the horizontal position.

Jesus Montero says he has "no clue" how name ended up in documents from South Florida clinic
Mariners catcher Jesus Montero is in Arizona working out with teammates in preparation for the start of spring training next week. I caught up with him this morning as he was changing after his workout and asked him point blank how his name ended up in documents belonging to the South Florida anti-aging clinic Biogenesis.
"What can I tell you? I have no idea," Montero said. "Like I said, I have no clue what happened. I feel like I'm caught in the middle of something and I don't know why."
Montero said he has never been a client of the clinic, or of owner Anthony Bosch.
"I don't even know who he is," he said. "I've never heard of him."
Until this morning, that is.More
