No one else watched the US Open? Well, I sort of started watching it by accident, but since Father's Day gave me the (very) rare power of commanding the tv, I figured what the hell.

Sutton Foster!
I'd solve the hardest puzzle
I'd race the fastest animal

To be with you, Coco

Umm, except you might choose to spell it correctly before googling it.

Wait a second. Google "Limerick Porgrom" before you let those limey bastards completely off the jew-hating hook.

von Trier's next film
should be about the Dreyfus affair. With about an hour of graphic bris scenes to meet his "genital mutilation" quotient.

Well, Placeholder, I don't think anyone [sane] is suggesting that Cannes has violated von Trier's rights or broke the law. We're suggesting that a) they're a bunch of pompous douchebags and b) that since they're the ones who invoked "defending freedom of expression" in the exact same breath with which they did the…

I'm with Fuck Cannes on this. I don't give a shit about von Trier particularly, but this is a big plate of sanctimonious bullshit with a generous helping of hypocrisy sauce.

Is Cat O' Ninie Tails based on the Ellery Queen book?

Wait, Moonfleet is a children's book. J Meade Falkner. A good one, too.

Yummsh, I humbly submit that you're exaggerating (as, of course, I was in the opposite direction). He didn't want Ben gone, for example: Jaison controlled that vote. Erik voted out first after the merge, that was Natalie doing all the work. Shambo dictated the Dave Ball vote. And so on. Only in his own fantasy…

Bah, humbug. You don't have to take away anything from Russell' first two seasons — there's nothing there to take. If Survivor was a show about finding poorly hidden immunity idols, he'd be the Greatest Truffling Pig Ever. The rest of his game is and was a bare cut above Phile's, without the easy-going charm or…

From what I heard they wanted him on HvV but the IRS wouldn't allow him to leave the country.

Rob sure picked the right two people to take. I thought Natalie had a chance to garner the sour-grapes vote — being cute and inoffensive — but her FTC performance was just spectularly lame.

I've never laughed so hard at Survivor as during FTC, and all because of Phil. He wasn't just antagonistic, he wasn't just delusional, he was a motherfucking dadaist masterpiece in action. Phil is the Marcel Duchamp of reality shows.

I agree. Julie really pissed me off. Attacking a near stranger's parenting skills (when you've never even met their children) is the epitome of petty bitter nastiness.

I suspect that everyone who plans to go to FTC with Rob is planning to play his experience against him: "Come on, this is his fourth try, of course he's good at this."

The last words of Hassan Sabbah.

the Curse of the Cool Parent
I would have been humiliated, as a teenager, if my parents listened to Public Enemy, or the Pgues, or Nirvana, and though it was cool. A huge role of pop music is to give each generation a way to alienate the previous generation.

You can't cheat at bingo.
