"Northwest Band Avoids Northwest"

I'm a real dick to Japanese tourists because of the whole Pearl Harbor thing.

Sincerity doesn't play anymore, and that movie has sincerity coming out of its ears.

HEY YOU! JOIN THE NAVY!!

At least you barely got any food.

"They’re just encouraging a bunch of shitty old men to play shitty music."

Another vote for Spelling Bee.

I always had a pet peeve in that sketch about the way Casey Wilson is all, I AM ACTING LIKE I AM PLAYING THE VIOLIN in the background.  Really bothered me for whatever reason, and I wasn't sad to see her go from SNL.

I stumbled upon this live out here on the west coast and was RIVETED.  Holy crap, what a great broadcast.  Was shocked to see no uptake the day after - took about 48 hours to go viral - but so, so pleased that it has since then.

Really interesting thread.

Really interesting thread.

Have the Rolling Stones killed.

Co-sign.  Favorite SNL sketch of all time, and Blake Lively gets a lifetime pass for participating.

"Growing up, my family was a lot like the Brady Bunch…we didn't have a lot of money…and my father died of AIDS."

Well, yeah. Funny rape jokes don't make the news.

Wait, so 808s and Heartbreak *isn't* a concept album about having your love go unrequited by a Honolulu hooker?
