no need to defend any of them. i love the star wars movies. i just think that, looked at objectively, the prequels are no worse than the original trilogy.

@ elle: well, that kind goes for nearly everything people become absorbed in.

wait…are people posting comments on the internet actually concerned about being called a nerd?

@ lovemydog & elle: please explain to my wife that girls don't like video games. cause it's my turn to play fallout 3, damnit. seriously, dismissing a form of entertainment because some guy you liked (but did not necessarily like you) didn't pay attention to you when you were a teenager? think about that for a…

the guy in this commercial
is not as much of a dick as the one who throws cheetos in the washing machine.

i'm sorry i followed that link.

doesn't he explain a) why he likes top chef and guest hosting it; and b) why he can't do it full time in his AV Club interview?

i'm just going to play fallout 3.

surviving an ice age apocalaypse: get a st. bernard and a cask of brandy. also, matches.

cahil porter cheedar is good. hie thee to a whole foods!

scotch taping paper towels?
have these people never heard of CVS?
