It was the words from Portuguese category. I can't remember the answer for that one either, but they also all missed one that was like, "It's a word that means a rolling armored war machine or a small pond containing fish." And I'm screaming "Tank, it's tank you nitwits!" while they all stood there with blank faces

I wish I could remember the answer for his first double jeopardy. The category was basically "English words that came from Portuguese" and he was like "I don't even understand the premise of the category."

All I see is the muppet version of him from the Daily Show.

Why mention Noah Wyle's blink-and-you'll-miss-him part in Swing Kids and leave out Christian Bale who co-starred with RSL? The world is unknowable.

That was the first thought I had.

I think someone got smothered to death in a chamber filled with sand? I don't remember much else about that movie except that I saw it with my best friend and about three days later I came down with the stomach bug that had raged through her whole family earlier that week. Ah, 90's nostalgia.

Leftover baked salmon and jasmine rice smothered in homemade teriyaki sauce and eaten cold because fish never reheats well.

"If it's not a period movie, then you're basically asking audiences to sit in a theater and be reminded how horrible they are"

I haven't written in a while, but I'm starting a painting class tonight at a local tech high school. I'm excited and a little nervous - I've done a lot of drawing, but the last time I really painted was probably 20 years ago.

I really enjoyed the first season of Broadchurch. The acting was pretty much phenomenal all around and I liked that it was more a character study of a community than a police-procedural whodunit.

The witch is the high school's mascot.

Has anyone else read "The Story of Your Life"? I think it was in a Nebula Awards collection from the late 90's/early 2000's. From what I remember, the aliens don't experience time in a linear fashion, so as she learns their language she experiences time the way that they do. I believe she's narrating the story to

Thank you. If I could give you more than one meaningless internet point, I would.

I've always thought this song sounds like something that would be written for a fake band on a prom episode of an early 2000's primetime teen soap opera.
