In a sport where you can’t use your hands, a third leg would be an advantage.

“Bustin makes me feel good” is the greatest line in the American songbook.

Finally, we shall learn definitively whether or not Tony had the makings of a varsity athlete.

Ball on, Baller.

On a related note, Green Bay was running a variant of the the Houston Rockets offense this season, wherein all the Packers just stood around and waited for Rodgers to do something on his own.

That’s what mushroom do.

If you’ve ever been at a reception after two white people got married, you would soon discover that we also know Ignition (Remix).

You’d think baseball would have done this first. Specifically out in the bullpen.

Y’know, it’ll probably be pretty bad, but Kevin Smith has always seemed like a pretty good guy, and if him being still alive means that every few years he makes another dud, that’s awesome. And there’s always a chance I’ll enjoy it—I genuinely kind of love Clerks 2, which I know is the wrong opinion, but I can’t help…

Um...most recent episode of Top Chef spoiler alert? You’ve been warned.

Those last two throws against the Chiefs were back-breakers. Props to Carroll and Wilson for gunning for the win rather than sitting back and playing cautious, which is death against KC.

Yep. I plan to keep my ticket to the 2007 Mizzou-Kansas game (the one where Mizzou beat KU with #1 ranking on the line) posted up on my fridge for as long as I have a fridge.

I love that the fact that punk rock legend John Doe is in Road House is like the 47th most ridiculous thing about Road House.

1. Parquet Courts—Wide Awake!

It’s a weird one. They basically swerved away from the relatively poppy covers album they did last time around to go full-on ambient. I’m a huge YLT fan, but I have not made it through the new album twice.

Going to 14 teams in the playoffs is dumb, but I couldn’t disagree more about the idea that a single-elimination tournament where the higher seed gets to host is going to make it easier for underdogs than two-legged ties where each team gets to host a game. This year the lower-seeded team won both conference finals,…

For real. KC in December is usually nails.

I don’t disagree, though I would guess that her dad seeing the performance is where the conflict comes in. The Joel/Midge conflict largely drove Season One, but that seems to be somewhat resolved for the moment (and they seem to be looking for other plotlines for Joel, who has evolved into a surprisingly likable…

The Christ/Moses bit was taken from one of his albums with just a little bit of trimming down:

Yeah, it looked like a ton of fun (and a hell of a lot warmer than the one Cup final I’ve attended). I was strongly considering the road trip if KC had made it through, but alas. Congrats to Atlanta--they were super-good this year.
