Didn't Frank Sinatra call Jones the best singer in the world?

You are all heartless fucking bastards.  Best good-bye ever?  The real-life good-bye speech from Lou Fucking Gehrig preserved in Pride of the Yankees

@avclub-d43da0b54c8393e0d0cd389588f89e3a:disqus , if I'm understanding you, they could have kept the same meaning by showing an empty bucket and copy that reads, "Wait, did I eat the bones in my haste to shovel 8 pieces of chicken into my mouth without even chewing?"

@avclub-94d231f11cdc1fae024849f33f7a7156:disqus  — clearly you mean "freedom fighters"!

@avclub-e516bf3f35036b0bb67ac3549cd7709d:disqus , I actually had someone say that to me.  My wife had been stopped by one of them outside a post office, while I ran in to check our PO Box.  I came out, she was standing there talking to this guy with a sign and stack of pamphlets, one of which he had handed to her.  I

Lance Armstrong had a dozen reverse vampires contracted to perform this service on him.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a ukelele is a good guy with a ukelele.

Did the Guardian Angels adopt their look before or after What's Happening!! brought Rerun into America's living rooms?

My favorite internet misunderstanding was when I heard that a really nice person misunderstood "LOL," and thought it was an abbreviation for "lots of love," rather than its standard meaning of "laughing out loud."  So, inevitably, someone posted a sob story on Facebook or a forum like this here AV Club along the lines

It does seem to ward off cancer, though.  I've known some really nasty, perpetually angry old people in my life, and often wondered, "Shouldn't the cancer be kicking in any day now?"  Never happens.

Wait, is that some kind of contribution to "rape culture"?

The only conspiracy to attack the WTC on 9/11 was al Qaeda's.  The Cheney cabal in Washington didn't have to plan it, or even know about it ahead of time, to benefit from it.  They had their plans to invade Iraq all lined up years before getting Bush-43 into the White House.  It was primed and ready to go on January

My 2-year-old just noticed the Hooters sign for the first time last night — he pointed to the owl, one of his favorite animals, and said "hoo-hoo!"

Jack Dempsey's.

I love that a guy named after a Burger King burger and a guy whose avatar is Mayor McCheese are having a misunderstanding!

Is that what the ad is really saying?  If they're eating so fast, doesn't that still come around to them eating the bone?  I have to admit to not understanding that ad campaign at all.  Every billboard of it I see is of a shocked lady, which makes me think they're trying to make some kind of allusion to oral sex. 

@Scrawler2:disqus , I don't much like the mustard in that, or ketchup on anything, so I've abbreviated it for myself by substituting cole slaw for the mayo and relish.  That makes everything hunky-dory for me!

Chicago does hot dogs like no one else.  They're an event, a spectacle, an epic extravaganza.  On one of my first nights there, I went to a stand near my apartment to get some hot dogs and fries to take home and eat.  Not knowing what was going to be on them, I ordered two (because in most places, one hot dog is just

Define "Midwest."

@Scrawler2:disqus , you've almost got a Panamanian hot dog going.  All you need to add is some mayo and crushed potato chips.
