Agreed. But when someone asked about the Coliseum, and she said that she didn't go there I thought one of the intended jokes was that she had lived in Italy for 8 months but somehow was unaware of the existence of Rome. But then they quickly glossed over that in favour of much weirder stuff.

I know MASH is a television classic, but whenever I see it all I can think is "Catch-22 did it better."

Is anybody else becoming increasingly worried about Graham on Stop Podcasting Yourself? Listening to his recent saga makes me feel like I'm witnessing first-hand how a person becomes homeless. His light-hearted attitude toward everything sounds more like someone at the end of their rope than genuine nonchalance. Then…

I've never made the decision to do it, but the first choice for me is the laughing/dancing pilot from the cover of Catch-22. A little bit iconic, and enough to remind me that the world is mostly full of shit whenever I get overstressed. Now I think I have to do it.

The Thrilling Adventure Hour never seems to get any love in the comments, but I thoroughly enjoyed this week's entry. "Beyond Belief" and "Sparks Nevada" are almost always gold.

This is amazing news! Thanks!

May I make a GtG request for us old school gamers?

So "Smashed" is really just a feature-length version of "Successful Alcoholics," with Winstead and Paul swapped in for Lizzy Caplan and TJ Miller?
