I like that "black guy" is in quotes, as if Lobsters is casting doubt upon ?uestlove's blackness. If only he were blacker, Lobsters would have gotten the joke and we could have all shared a laugh.

It's perfectly ok, within the confines of a lawful marriage.  In the South.  In the 50s…

That's the magic of television.  Or lack of proofreading.  Take your pick.

My memory's hazy, but wasn't it usually his wife beating him for being drunk?

I don't know what the Koch brothers look like, but I will say yes?

The best part of it, in my opinion, is the Yule Log parody in the special features, where he periodically throws "subversive" books on the fire.  It's just classic Colbert comedy, very low key, and hey, it's a yule log.  Everyone loves a yule log.

I've been a huge Scrooge McDuck my whole life.  I'm pretty sure it started with this, but it might have been Duck Tails.  Either way, it's an awesome short.

I don't think the prescriptivism is ignorant; I just think it's wrong.  I think presenting the logical consequence of descriptivism as purpuslee baad spelig is ignorant.

The best thing about that is, Chaucer's English predates the Great Vowel Shift, so all of those words would be even MORE unrecognizable if you said them out loud. And that "gh" in "droughte" denoting a velar fricative… excuse me, I need to go nerd out in the corner.

This book is like catnip to me.  I'm already tripping in anticipation.

It's not a choice between order and anarchy, Aldo.  In fact, the choice doesn't even exist, because anarchy is reality and order is a tenuously upheld fiction.

That's ridiculous.  You're ridiculous.  Your ideas are ridiculous, your family is ridiculous, and I spit on everything you deem sacred.

There's also the presumption that if you're not getting laid, you probably aren't doing much smooching either.  Because virgins are lonely recluses, right?

I think it comes more from the idea that if you are with twins, you can objectify one or both of them by fantasizing that they are actually the same person, duplicated especially for your pleasure.

Ordinance and ordnance are two different words, man.  The one refers to a regulation, and the other to a cannon ball fucking up your house.

All I'm saying is, if I kick a brick wall and all the bones in my foot are broken, I want that wall to be SHATTERED.

Pitchfork has to craft an elitist review for nearly everything, man.  It's a serious editorial compulsion.

Preach on, Jesus.

They're well defined in the context of academics and economics.  But the meaning of word isn't just what's in the dictionary: it is the essential understanding of the word signifies in a person in a given context.

Warren Buffet is essentially the king of capitalism.  He rides around on a palanquin and holds his scepter aloft, as a beacon to spooked investors seeking his healing touch.
