I mean, he made the first kick. When will the NFL finally ban the infuriating practice of “icing the kicker” and let us all move on with our lives?

(Answer: never, because it allows you to squeeze in an extra C-break that you can guarantee people will keep watching through.)

In a just world, if the defense calls a time…

THAT’S where I recognized him from!  Thank you!

The chicken looks appetizing enough, but that green bucket is deeply disquieting for some reason. It’s like those Tex-Mex restaurants that give you blue- and red-dyed tortilla chips with your salsa — rationally, I know they’re fine, but emotionally, they seem like eating construction paper and I can only…

Came for the Commerford shout-out, was not disappointed.  And now I know why he did it, having previously assumed he was just acting out/on drugs.

Like the Sesame Street videos parodying things in current pop culture?

The obvious response from my standpoint would be, “The fifth one is my mother; let’s see how the date goes first.”

Ah, good point.  Thanks for the clarification!

You heard Sonya Cassidy? My guess was Michelle Gomez, but I could be persuaded.

Also, missed field goals are a live ball as long they don’t go out of bounds.

True in the NFL as well (or at least it used to be?), as the New York Giants apparently forgot and Devin Hester remembered.

Cheers, from a fellow owner of both big kitties AND a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal. \m/

...I just felt a great disturbance in the iTunes store, as if millions of voices cried out “Where’s my seven-figure deal?” and were suddenly silenced.

My favorite aspect of this is how many “podcasts” (especially music ones) call themselves “[Whatever] Radio,” thus putting the fresh face of a 100 year-old technology on a product reference (the iPod) that hasn’t been particularly relevant for three or four years.

Tony Cavalero as Keefe reminded me of a heavily medicated version of Bruce McCullouch’s teenage burnout character from Kids In The Hall:

CBS is happy to test that theory for you with The Unicorn, premiering this fall!

I think the member of this lovable band of weirdos I was most pleased to see again is Brian Doyle-Murray’s Bob Kruger. Between the line quoted at the top, his online poetry class, and his continued fascination with Beautiful Jake, I think it’s safe to say the soul of an aesthete resides in the unlikely vessel of a…

Geena Davis was great in the showgirl outfit but I was a little surprised at how restrained and mellow her singing voice was.  Am I misremembering her as a strong singer in something else, or...?

It’s because uh... Las Vegas is in the desert, and sand is like dust, and uh Ruth is feeling frozen in time like the Pompeiians and uh...

Bash’s second show is Rhapsody AS Bash Howard’s BMX Babes. I don’t think we’re supposed to be able to imagine how that would work, as it seems meant to be something only the 10-year-old-boy-on-cocaine mind of Bash Howard can visualize.

I completely forgot about Cherry’s blink-and-you-missed-it break as a badass ‘80s police detective who couldn’t say words like a normal person.  So bittersweet.

Randy’s full-volume bawling was the epitome of the nightmare toddler experience. Poor little guy! He was so happy until Tex picked him up!
