Of course, she and Bill don't know that these two may still have their FBI badges, but everyone else at the FBI takes them less seriously than Bill took Molly—

Even though they've been mostly comic relief in this show, it is still just bizarre to see Keegan Michael Key, on the same night, first as an old high-school boyfriend in the pleasantly light sitcom Playing House—and then in the nightmare that is Fargo.

The bully was played by someone named Oscar Wahlberg; I don't know if he's the son of one of those Wahlbergs, but if so he could easily have learned the accent from his dad.

I thought it pretty clearly established that weed was fun. Also, it helped kids become friends who had otherwise unbreachable walls between them, which was the best part of the fun. But his memory, now that he's worried about Lily reaching that same tricky age, naturally falls more to the complications than the fun.

In the 2006 standup about the year of pot and scale-stealing linked to above, C.K. remarks that one of the great things about the year from the point of view of his 2006 self is that he got real skinny—because he didn't want to go home to eat when he was high, and he was always getting high, so he didn't go home much

Thanks for that link. I'd forgotten that C.K. actually wrote that long post in the replies to the review of the "God" episode.

He did that set almost eight years ago, when he didn't have a kid approaching the age he was when he spent a year smoking pot in middle school. It makes sense he'd look back on it differently now.

Orlando is the first Swinton movie I saw, at an LGBT film festival more than twenty years ago—maybe the first big role she had? It's from the Virginia Woolf novel of the same name, the eponymous star of whom starts out a swashbuckling male, and for no apparent reason later falls into a sort of coma and wakes the other

No help to me, as I've never had an itty bitty.

Which would be why there's no sequel for it either, I guess.

The only game I have that kind of muscle memory for is Katamari Damacy, which doesn't really help me with any other game because no other game is like it and they haven't released a new one in ages.

Actually it's the Queen who made Lloyd Webber a lord (specifically, Baron Lloyd-Webber; he sits in the House of Lords, at least if he ever bothers to, which I wouldn't know). And he's gone by that appellation on the real—I mean, podcast—CBB! for years.

A few posts up, Anthony D. pointed out that the paradox Key's character poses about file rooms and cemeteries is the sorites paradox, known in English as "the paradox of the heap".

I can't remember—did we see where Molly lived in 2006? If we didn't, maybe G&G just moved into her existing house.

Me too. I thought, how the hell could I have missed Stephen Root of all people?

Harvard says diplomatically in that interview that Goldberg "had a lot of quirkiness in his signing," then hastens to add that he did a great job. I can't imagine speaking a whole new language for a part, even with a coach on set to help me through it.

I already googled Bridgett Everett when Amy put her on last year. This year when she came on I just said Yay, and watched with that peculiar mixture of alarm and delight. If I weren't on the other side of the country I'd certainly go see her—though she's probably even more alarming in person. (Which is a good thing.)

You didn't? He did disappear into the character—except for the eyebrows. There are always his eyebrows.

Just so Lester knows, he wants to call the Servpro franchise of Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing. They are licensed and happy to "remove and dispose of bodily fluids, tissue and other potentially pathogenic substances resulting from accident, trauma, crime or death." No idea how good they are at it, but they wouldn't

That's a question for the ages.
