That must be the weirdest part of the New Testament outside of Revelation. Pissed-off Jesus kills a fig tree.

She looked really good in it. Really good.

Thank God, I'm glad somebody understood Flotsam and Jetsam.

I thought it was hilarious.

Then why blame it on Twitter? Sure, Twitter is fucking stupid, really the worst, but if it didn't exist people would still be blogging and commenting.

Well, the show isn't live. So it would be public knowledge as soon as he taped.

Counterpoint:

"Will It Float?"

Hot damn, here it is

I had a little book of Letterman top 10 lists when I was a kid. I only remember one joke from one list. It was "Top 11 Rejected Life-Saver Flavors" or some such, and I only remember one flavor.

Let's just amalgamate a whole bunch of those thinly populated Western states. The Dakotas can be one state. Nebraska and Kansas can merge. Wyoming can be wiped off the map.

Something about that show and Lena Dunham in particular are just hugely off-putting to me. And I don't know what it is. Never even watched anything more than the HBO teasers, or seen much of her besides that SNL she did. Just somehow so, so irritating.

I don't think anybody would say the second Thin Man film is the best, because that would be silly, but that might be the best moment in the series—James freaking…

Well, it doesn't matter if it's new to them. It isn't new. It just isn't. It's a self-centered view of the world for everyone who isn't familiar with a work to expect everyone else not to talk about it, even if it's a very, very old work.
