If Paul Giamatti would do a Hate Song, I can guarantee you he'd pick John Mayer.

At university.

American Horror Story 'Name Game,' no mention? That musical number was the culmination of awesomely outlandish ridiculousness in a program that at its best elevates awesomely outlandish ridiculousness to an art form.

I've actually never visited Green Flash, at least the new location (I had hit the old taproom in Vista). It's kind of tough because there are so many breweries now in that Mira Mesa corridor (Alesmith, White Labs, Ballast Point, Hess, etc.) that you really have to pick and choose.

I know what you mean; I got so complacent in just sticking to the great, reliable spots like Stone, Pizza Port, Alesmith, etc. that I've made it a point the last few visits to just check out new places.

I actually enjoy downtown San Diego during Comic-Con, for the people watching (in fact, that's about the only time I find the Gaslamp tolerable). I've never actually attended the convention, as the wait time necessitated by anything even remotely well-known seems to cancel out much of the fun, but it's always been…

The middle of a quiet afternoon is the only sane time to visit a bar.

This tragically accurate piece can never never never never never never be posted enough.

Michael Schur seems pretty reasonable as a boss too.

Or Denis Rader, or Ariel Castro, or Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, or. . . .?  No, of course not. They would write the article, but they would never put a dreamy, instagram-esque selfie on the cover, because they're not counter-culturally handsome.

Most were less…

I could go back and edit my typo to make you look like a fool, but your response needs to be preserved for the ages. You chocolate cake eating degenerate!

I see what you're mean although I'm not at all as down on this season as you.

Enjoy! I'm heading down myself on Saturday. I don't have Con tickets, but my sister is doing the Zombie Walk so I'm just going to see that and people watch around Comic-Con. Always a good time.

Beer Thread!

Plus one!

Seth Rogen was so 'Seth Rogen' in his run this season that the BabyTock commercial was the only time he worked for me, because at first I forgot he was supposed to be George Sr and just thought he was playing generic stilted advertising "doctor." 'Course, that only lasted until his subsequent scene with Kristin Wiig a…

Agreed, I'm champing at the bit to see it.

They're not always educational or enlightening, but at least they don't actively make you dumber.

Fuck yes. Beautiful Girl is perfect. Glad to hear they still break it out on occasion, if prompted and the circumstances are right.
