I worked with Willem Dafoe on the first film I produced and I can confirm that he is, in fact, the nicest fuckin' guy.  Not like "nice for a celebrity nice," but legitimately "one of the nicest humans you'll ever meet nice."

The only celebrity comparison I've received more than once (and it was probably only 3 or 4 times) has been John Turturro.  I've been meaning to parlay that into a Barton Fink halloween costume for some time now.

How was that?  I almost picked up a bottle when I was in Michigan, but I recalled hearing mixed things about it.

Whatever happened to that AV Club commenter who went by 'Your Father, Ted Mosby', and would only post (usually after a comment that contained some type of sexual reference or innuendo), "And that, kids, is how I met your mother"?  I always thought that was an underrated gimmick.

If you're in Chicago @avclub-eaaf6236c28c668e40fdf9b17394b7ec:disqus, the few times I've been able to try Sun King has been in Chicago.  They almost always come to FOBAB, and last Chicago Beer Week, they held a tap takeover at Haymarket Brewing.

Sun King is so good.  Their Pappy Van Winkle barrel aged Maibock is delicious.  It's a shame the only time I ever get to try their stuff is when they sent it out-of-state for special events.  Though they did do a collaboration with Oskar Blues last year that saw wider distribution.

4.7 - that seems way too high for me.  There's no way I should have a higher 'like' average than Scrawler!

Agreed, but as long as it's not something that's adversely effecting the sex life in a relationship (which could be a number of things - setting unrealistic standards, making porn watching a substitute for actual sex, setting expectations for weird and unwelcome acts in bed, etc), and is being done discretely, it…

I'm going to ask this here since facial hair is somewhat fashion related, but mostly since it doesn't seem worth starting its own thread.  So in January I had grown a beard to provide a bit of protection against the freezing winter we'd been having (shut up, 40° is cold for LA).  As it's warming back up, I was going…

Beer thread!  Since it's almost February I'm trying to squeeze in as many Winter Warmers/Christmas Beers before they disappear.  Had a nice 2009 Port Santa's Little Helper, which hasn't aged drastically but is drinking nicely nonetheless.

It's astonishing to me that there are still people in this day and age who are bothered by their partner viewing porn.

Their marriage was the result of series of escalating dares.

None of you will be invited to the Low-Cal Calzone Zone opening.

That's the worst name I ever heard.

Oh Mindy, you came and you gave without flaking,
But I sent you Ben Gay.
Oh Andy, you kissed me and stopped me from something

I'm far too gaga over Aubrey Plaza to say "never," but rarely has she looked better.  Hitler, you sexy bastard!

Can I borrow 1500 dollars?  You're not allowed to ask what it's for.
