I had a Five Guys and was ridiculously unimpressed. The highlight for me was the peanuts. That's a good idea!

You'll fit right in with hockey fans!

I really, really hope so. But you never know, I've been involved in gay politics for long enough to see "This is fine but, um, what about the straight people?" pop up all the time.

Holy shit. Obama not voicing support for opposite-gender marriages is the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

I went to Brooklyn to work with a big band guy (Ellington's ghost, you ask? No…not entirely) this weekend, and while I was in NYC I went to a crazy interesting show with my friend in Manhattan that involved a soprano, a Klezmer clarinetist, the cellist from the Kronos Quartet and a Zimbabwean folk group.

There's a single Tang mix in my cupboard that I think has come with me over a couple different moves. I should probably just throw it away.

The last line makes it for me. Oh sirrah, how delicious absurd!

I'm still smarting about my inability to remember "Moldova", thus preventing me from naming all the European countries.

My roommates watched the first 12 seasons over the past year or so, and they picked "Lemon of Troy". To be fair, it's an amazing episode.

Mirkin, from the commentaries, is incredibly anti-news media…so he wrote a lot of gags (or encouraged the writings of gags) that harped on the media.

This reminds me of a John Keats poem!

AT's having a decent season for sure, but Gravity Falls is exceptionally strong out of the gate. Clone High is the only other animated show with this good of a first season. Maybe Fututrama?

Does anyone know if he's involved in the writing/storyboarding at all? Because Homestar Runner was good at capturing the "lazy 80s summer" feel that Gravity Falls sometimes delves into.

Closing Time has some of the best lines in the entire Cohen canon. I'm thinking of "I missed you since our place got wrecked/by the winds of the change, and the weeds of sex/looks like freedom but it feels like death/it's something in between, I guess" and "So we struggle and we stagger down the snakes and up the

The Gay Mafia doesn't want to show their whole hand just yet.

Chelsea Lately has some really funny people on it, but then there's Chelsea Handler…

It's that time of day where @avclub-a80fcd777df4edacea4dd9e20f8730e4:disqus  and I agree on something! Usually this is limited to Jerry Lewis threads.
