I'm in Ann Arbor, but I'll be sure to check them out! Thanks for the tip.

Marquette is my hometown - be sure to stop by Black Rocks Brewing when you're next up there. Right on Third Street and doing an awesome job.

It's been great to see the availability of sours expand over the last year or two. You might have only gotten a single option on occasion in 2014 and 2015, but it's really taken off here in Southeast Michigan.

It's gonna be OK.

It's a great time to start opening some of the barrel aged goodies from late last fall. Founders Backwoods Bastard (bourbon barrel aged scotch ale) is a nice go-to for me. It's a good bridge between the occasional Bourbon County Stouts, KBS, and other rarer releases. If you're new to the barrel aged phenomenon or…

I got the impression from his WTF interview that he had some stand-up chops, and for the last 15 years has become the butt of the joke in otherwise joke-free Adam Sandler movies. Will have to find out if those stand-up chops are worth anything.

That was with a pencil sharpener as I recall.

Regarding that 83-disc Let It Be session set, it is likely the A/B Road compilation and it makes for some pretty intriguing background music. It's basically like the Beatles are chatting, writing, and rehearsing at your house while you wash your dishes and do your laundry. You'll walk into the drudgery of the 15th…

I imagine there's the formal "comrade," and then a more casual term to use around the office, akin to what Seinfeld described as the casual "heil" gesture of the Nazis. "Yeah, heil Hitler, world domination, etc. Can I have one of those donuts?"

I was in Walgreen's, in town for a big job interview I was going to have the next day. My rental car sat outside, and 10 miles away was my hotel room. The cream-based clam chowder I'd consumed only an hour before decided it was done with me, and had rallied the rest of the troops in my stomach to make a violent…

In the full bit, Louis is performing at a club in one of the "towns" he mentions in North Carolina, and is asked by the club owner what his "shots policy" is. Louis eventually gets clarification that the owner is asking what he wants to do when audience members want to send him a shot from the bar while he is on…

His "prom king comedy" comment has been echoed by people like Louis CK, who basically said about the good-looking cool guys that "they don't get to have this, too," referring to stand-up. He seemed to agree that comedy was how the rest of us dealt with not being "the cool kids."

By the way, thanks AVC for all the auto-starting video ads on the page. Way to both slow things down and add extra annoyance through unwanted audio!

I don't like the looks of the goofy snake killer from Colorado - I get the feeling he will get the jump on Raylan and provide the realization that's been hinted at all season: Raylan's getting older, and his overconfidence may ultimately do him in before he can ever shove off for domesticated life in Florida.

How about a 3TV package that includes only HBO, FX, and AMC?

"Enter Sandman" doesn't get any smoother than it did five years ago with this:

The "Applaud The Dead" game could come up with some insightful surprises though, as a makeup person you'd never heard of would sometimes get nearly the same decibel level as a John Candy.

Perhaps they could have just inserted stock footage of a meeting or someone getting some coffee for those folks, who very few people would recognize anyway.

It's all OK because we were sure to memorialize the marketing execs. Morbidly, the "In Memoriam" segment is usually one of the things I enjoy the most about the broadcast, and they also blew it this year by posting watercolor filtered photos rather than little clips. Those clips were great to showcase people not as…

First cassette I purchased with my own money: "When The Children Cry" by White Lion. A cassette single. It cut me deep, man, and I was eight years old.
