probably solidarity with the editor who had to take a barely usable pile of scrap and turn into something even moderately coherent.

Tired & Bleak is a great name for her next anything.

Yeah, but think of all the outrage they spared themselves by placating half a dozen disingenuous Nazis!

Please pass the upvote along to your wife.

“Kai. Buddy. Just an FYI . . . there’s no H.R. department or union rep to save your bacon.”

I was impressed how athletic looking Bob Odenkirk looked while he was running

“The Last Jedi felt like its entire point was to let you know how much of a jackass you are for caring about this stuff.”

Yeah, that’s not an absurd comparison at all. Because we’re all really worried about who The Last Jedi is going to appoint to the Supreme Court.

You know, some people also didn’t like The Last Jedi because it’s a structurally questionable movie with some bad writing and underdeveloped (or underused) characters.

You poor dear.

Wait. Are you a 5-year-younger version of me sent to haunt me on the Internet?

I recall being 10 or 11 yrs old in 1988 and thinking Dennis Miller was the hippest, coolest, better-than-everyone else comic in town. I felt so nuanced and clever understanding his ridiculous pretentious references to Dali or Deschamps on SNL or his stand up (THE OFF WHITE ALBUM, I owned it on cassette) and thinking…

You’re not even actually “offensive,” though. You’re just mildly obnoxious and predictable. It’s like South Park, as written by Chuck Lorre. Bless.

My favorite moment was when one of Billy’s henchmen expresses an entirely sane opinion hinting that maybe Steve Wiebe isn’t evil incarnate and perhaps this whole Donkey Kong thing has gotten blown out of proportion, and Billy gives him the ultimate death stare.

My favorite part about The King of Kong was how fucking intense everyone was about arcade game scores. It was like the Battle of the Somme for these nerds, which was one of the many reasons why I was so happy to see Steve, who always seemed a bit perplexed by the whole setup, win out in the end.

You should also show them Loose Change 9/11 to illustrate how a bunch of bullshit can make you believe in kooky theories. Wait oh god don’t do that.

I show King of Kong to my Spec Ed English classes to illustrate how a good storyteller can make you care about any topic. They get so wrapped up in it and are always a bit let down to see some random dude holds the title now

It reads like something Garth Marenghi would write.
