I entirely empathize with your position. There's nothing so demoralizing and depressing as an emotionally out of control parent. It's the worst.

Pancakes were an adequate choice, but I would have gone with french toast. With Challah bread. Oy vey, magnifique!

Ehem, I'm sure you just buttressed my position. Thank you so veddy much.

I just stumbled upon your comment and I was struck by your description of TV personalities being treated as though they are accredited experts of philosophy when, in fact, they most often are propagators of incompetently interpreted academic esoterica, and arrogant about it, to boot. Interesting and provocative

You didn't "say" edibles, either. And more importantly, are you hoping to win the AV Club Gold Medal for most relentlessly argued comment?! Jeez, let it go already, we've all got lives to lead. Hmmph.

I had a similar response to Hicks when I first encountered him. My buddy was raving about him, while I was only mildly amused. But eventually, after considering just how cornball and hacky and superficially tedious most comics were at the time, Bill Hicks' material and style impressed me more and more.

No, no, no, the only person who will ever replace Trebeck is Will Ferrell.

I say Pickle him!

I'm afraid you've used up all your "ending a sentence on a preposition" passes, and I'm going to have to call you on it. You can purchase more passes online at www.get_a_clue.com Hmmph.

And then a shattered tea cup spontaneously reassembles itself. Hmmph.

You're obviously too young to remember or even know of the comedians from the Vaudeville days who could rattle off 2 solid hours of hysterically ridiculous one liners. Mitch was great, but his style and technique come directly out of that Vaudeville tradition, and most of the better comedians are at least familiar

Terri is so frightfully uptight that sometimes her personal prejudices and philosophies intrude upon the interview, but she's usually so humble and apologetic about when she's called on it that I usually forgive her. In fact, I often appreciate her reserved demeanor because she's never angling to be her subject's new

What's most interesting, from a phenomenological perspective, is that the temperament and tone of your criticism of Louie serves only to call into question your own personal judgment, taste, and mental state, rather than eliciting from me anything even remotely resembling empathy or sympathy, or least of all,

It ain't perfect, but it's a country mile better than 99.9% of the phony shit that passes for quality today. Hmmph.

You really do not possess even a fractured grasp of the concept of Artistic License, do you? I don't mean in the sense of altering or editing or embellishing upon reality for the sake of heightened drama, but more so the commonly employed device of seeming to endorse a traditionally unpopular idea or practice or

But better! And richer! And more attractive! And more important! And worth dying for! And better.
