"I do love receiving mail" made me laugh as hard as anything I've seen on TV in years.

After college, I was still a virgin. I was working in small town in Illinois, and I decided to do a trip to Florida and Arizona in March to watch baseball spring training in both locations (you can see why I was still a virgin). My mom, dad, and a couple of sisters lived in Orlando, and my college roommate and his…

And just as painful.

Journa-whozis eth-a-what now?

Phrasing…

"…so help me God." And Billy Bush is now the 48th President of the United States! (quickly followed by nuclear holocaust).

Bill her Engvall…show.

Invade her Mother Russia?

Gaby Hoffman's bush played a key role in the film "Crystal Fairy" as well. I think it should join SAG and get a separate credit, frankly.

That makes total sense now. Thanks!

I had heard that somewhere, but I wasn't sure. This was a general question about the BBC, which is sort of a quasi-governmental organization, right? I couldn't figure out what was in it for them to hold back content.

Thanks, everyone. Sounds like it is pretty complex. In some cases, it's inertia or legal rights wrangling. In other cases, the shows actually do cross the Atlantic pretty quickly if the economics justify it. Some of it is PBS trying to maximize ratings in one part of the year or another. Some of it is, who the hell…

Can somebody lay out for me why the BBC holds back content from the US audience? What do they have to gain? Is it simply due to a bloated bureaucracy not being physically able to make these shows available on a timely basis, or some other reason?

I'm just going by what the refs called. I had to listen to that game on the car radio because the power went out. Somebody hit a tree right about at kickoff, and they restored it right as the Broncos were in victory formation. I never saw the play. I remember Gil Santos and Gino Capaletti not knowing what the hell…

As a Pats fan since the mid-70's, I'm extremely wary of the hell-hole that is Mile High Stadium. From 1984 to 1988, the Pats had to play there four years out of five in the regular season without playing the Broncos once at home. The results - DEN 26, NE 19; DEN 27, NE 20; DEN 31, NE 20; DEN 21, NE 10. The one year…

Is it Edwardian if it is set in America? I'm going with the Teddy Roosevelt Era, or the early Post-Gilded Age.

I could see that coming. It's a bleak story, with none of the redeeming qualities the Academy loves. It did get a nomination for Cinematography, which is well-deserved.

Hodgman has tweeted that he is both repelled by and wants to be Garrison Keiller. Should be funny to see how he resolves that.

The Mets are a cesspool, but there are some hopeful signs. If Matt Harvey has a successful rehab, he should be back and as good as ever in 2015. Noah Syngergaard will probably get the call in May to join Zack Wheeler and Bartolo Colon as a decent 1-2-3 punch in the rotation. I guess Jon Niese and a succession of…

I'm getting over my second cold this season. I think I'll just have myself dipped in a latex bath to form a thin protective layer when it cools.
