Far too many years ago, I had a batshit manager who was proud of the fact that she gave little presents to one of my demented co-workers if she did what was expected - like show up on time, do the job correctly, and so on. (And this was years before that was hoisted on millennials.)

Because he's stinky and you need to take a long bath with abrasives if touched by him?

I was called for jury duty yesterday and didn't make it. I'm saddened that I'm not part of the best jury $30/day/person could buy.

Same here. The only place I read about Taylor Swift is here on AV Club. Not the most flattering of coverage.

Hopefully it will be a taylor-made finding with a lot of Jacksons being handed over.

The original UK version showed me the pitfalls of running a restaurant, how so extra-prepared and dedicated you needed to be in every position of an eatery, from manager to any kitchen position, and how it could be a money pit that sucked up your passion until you were serving cardboard topped with mucilage. The US

I got three stackable ones from Fry's. I think just to save time I'm going to build my own and plan for a thousand. I've also got a few big box sets the height and width of 2x2 or 2x1 CDs, so those will need a special place.

There's one close to me; I usually go once a month or so to fill the gaps in my musical education. Sadly, I'm going to need a new CD rack, and it might have to be in the basement.

I think that was the intent - Cassidy wanted Jesse to use the Word to kill Denis, and Jesse thought Cassidy wanted him to use the Word to heal him.

If Inhumans is an effects-heavy work in progress, why show a large chunk of it to critics who will say it looks meh, instead of a couple of dynamite scenes that are finished? I think one look at a finished scene with Medusa's hair acting up would go a long way to quelling the naysayers. If they're waiting for the IMAX

I can't put them in order, but here's my Top Ten:

Which book? There are hundreds. I've got Pink Floyd: A Visual Documentary by Barry Miles, which is a great day-to-day book from their forming to just after The Wall, and Inside Out which is so dense it demands a second reading.

Some of the songs he ranks are more bridge songs than real, stand-alone songs. "Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert", at 1:17 and ranked #108, is one of many that don't make sense listened apart from the album.

It started off as a soundtrack. How does one rank that against an album that shares only the band's vision and not the director's?

"Pink Floyd sucks. Here's a list I made of their song rankings." Not an auspicious way to start.

Just scanning the list makes me wonder if this guy just didn't hate-chart. "Money" barely missed the top ten and should have been there. "Time" at 36 is bonkers.

I will somehow smuggle a shiv to an inmate with just one teensy request.

Mrs. Alps - who came out of the water closet (haw!) and became a mermaid a few years ago, was lukewarm on the musical. When you lose your built-in base, it's time to put the project in that vault Disney keeps threatening us with.

Sounds like a fluke to me.
