"And what, pray tell is an X Man?"

Like the Prussia of the NFL

It has way more ethical problems than the Pro game. The players aren't compensated at all for their play, at least in the NFL if you get hurt you get paid the rest of the guaranteed portion of your contract. (and don't give me the free education crap, most players at BCS level schools don't graduate) The extra…

Here's what I like best about Teti's football columns. Like me he obviously loves watching and following professional football, and I get the impression that like me he understands that the NFL encompasses a great deal of what is wrong with our society. It's a disingenuous organization that uses the military and…

"While the mother of the future has free time for recreational activities and crafts….. and you'll never guess what your neighborhood priest has actually been up to all these years, wonder why Jimmy suddenly stopped wanting to play outside and cried a lot…"

There's a reason this thing sat on the shelf for two or three years.

I agree with The New. She had a bit part in The Martian and I've never really seen her in anything and thought she was very good. Her sister however is one of those actresses you see in small part and go "damn who is that?" That's what I thought in The Social Network and even though The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo…

So here's the main problem, they set up Rory's "crisis" as having no job prospects even after being a published reporter or columnist and living in a world where she is somehow a "known" commodity. (why doesn't she just have her own site if she's such a great writer?) Yet they show her having no skill whatsoever at…

But with this new job who will play Mr. Sulu in Star Trek fanfiction web series?

I never attributed that to the hosts, they had no control over the editing, which could get downright horrid at times. I actually want to see how Grant is building that thing, not a 10x's fast forward of him running around the shop.

I agree, also the fact that hot water heaters actually can become rockets and blow through three stories of your house while you sleep and at the same time propane tanks are basically impossible to make explode unless you actually strap outside explosive to them blew my mind. We basically all have a bomb in our…

Sure there's a widespread cultural belief that duct tape can do anything, but it's not really a "myth" and they got 4 or 5 shows out of it.

The MIB and William both have the same knife, so in this time line Nia Long will die at the end.

Well king Aella has been holding on to Chechov's pit of snakes for more than three seasons now so I think you'd better attach yourself to Ivar or stop watching the show.

Once we all knew how Lizzie Caplan looked naked, in ever conceivable body position the thrill was gone.

It was also so very un-SNL. It wasn't a date, or an office, or a bar or a group of people talking - SNL hasn't really done absurdist humor in a long, long time. Unless you count Laser Cats, but there the joke was how stupid the joke was.

I think recent history has shown us that we should stop letting "the people" pick anything.

The fun with the Japanese version is you didn't actually know if they thought it was serious or not. There was limited internet information, so I didn't know Chairman Kaga was a well known Japanese actor and not just some crazy rich guy who loves food - plus it really seemed to matter to the Iron Chefs whether they…

Thanks for saving me the time, I remember watching the Japanese version in college, and I was way out of college by '99

In season seven we find out it's all been a flashback and she's living under a pseudonym and working at a Cinnabon in Omaha.
