I'd always heard it as "rises like an empress above the Serengeti" (and Google reveals I'm not alone in that misconception), which frankly is a way better lyric anyway, in my opinion. So in conclusion: fuck you, David Paitch, and the horse you rode in on.

So, what do we have to do to make GJI! stop happening? Not comment on the article? Not click on the link at all? Whatever it is, I'm up for it.

1996, eh? So long ago! It's all a bit vague, but I'm pretty sure that's the year we went hiking into the woods looking for a dead body, and had a stand-off with Kiefer Sutherland and his gang… something about a pie-eating contest… I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does…

They have the highest density of convenience stores in the world, apparently (Circle Ks, 7-Elevens and whatever else). Also, the surliest convenience-store clerks in the world.

Indeed.

Danny Kaye? Menachem Begin?

I sometimes think they should just never bother to turn on the comments for certain kinds of articles (e.g. this kind of article).

For what it's worth, she had that haircut a long time before Bieber did.

I don't know why I'm bothering to say this, but has it ever occurred to you that, when your first reply is an ad hominem attack on the person you're responding to, it's much less likely people will take your argument seriously?

Depressing Teutonic hijinks would ensue.

"What if Chris Nolan directed Scott Pilgrim?" Considering that Christopher Nolan has no discernible sense of humor, the result would certainly be quite something.

Crazy stage parents making threats to producers is what happened to her, I believe.

Ah, that makes more sense.

"Bad case of epiglottis"? How does that work? Isn't that just the name of the body part (or whatever the heck an epiglottis is)?

Is this show still on?, a.k.a. even though I quit watching 30 seconds into episode 1, season 1, for some reason I have to turn up every week in the recaps just to tell everyone how shit their favorite show is.

Oh, no doubt. To be honest, it's been years since I saw Supersizers Go - I should probably take another look at it, I might like it better now.

The show is pretty fascinating in its way, but I didn't think Giles Coren & Sue Perkins really worked so well as co-presenters/hosts - it's all snark, all the time. I didn't really get the point of Sue until I saw her doing her thing on GBBO with Mel, and then suddenly it all made sense.

Get me a Glenn Ford type.

Wow, so much love in this room. I don't really know much about Cameron Esposito - what happened? Did she run over a commenter's dog or shoot their parents or something?

I was all set to joke about the ridiculous idea of Outback Steakhouse coming to Australia, but Google tells me that they're here already (they haven't crossed the Nullabor yet, sadly).
