Oh man, that song.  I didn't think there was going to be a way to top the abject misery of having "Two Princes" stuck in my head, but you've managed it.

Now THAT'S an idea I could get behind!  Maybe they could also write a fashion blog on the side?

I came here to say exactly this.  That might be my favorite "shitty movie review" burn yet.

It's the same sort of shortsightedness that makes people take the lump-sum payout instead of the annuity when they win the lottery.

That one kind of completely blew my mind.  Suddenly I have far less desire to be superrich enough to afford to live somewhere like that, because it would be a depressing ghost town.

Here's where I have a long, dreamy sigh at the thought of a pomegranate tree.

I meant to say, @avclub-eaf7e6d54e569c2f804fb8abe3c575ad:disqus , that I keep hoping the Canes will get good again.  I really love watching them on Center Ice because John Forslund is one of the best play-by-play guys in the business.  That's as good a reason as any to develop a fondness for a secondary team, right?

I was all ready to believe the reports that Sid was going to be fine for the playoffs, but I suppose these are the same people who danced around reporting his concussion diagnoses and recoveries, so why should I believe them?  (I'm as bad as Flyers management at learning from past mistakes, it would seem.)

You would really think that eventually someone in that organization would figure it out, but nope!  They're reliably hilariously bad at the worst possible moments.  My ex-roommate (also a Devils fan) used to like to say of them, no matter what kind of success they were having at any given moment, "Wait for it… wait

Oh my god, I just saw that the Flyers traded for Steve Mason!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Oh man.  AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Speaking as a Devils fan, I have to say, I just love Flyers management.  It's never not funny.

You know, the Pens are just pissing me off now.  I was ready to climb onto that bandwagon come playoff time because, of all the frontrunners, they seemed the least objectionable (I wouldn't mind seeing Sid get another Cup).  But then they went all "Rangers/Red Wings in the mid- to late-90s", acquiring just about every

Potatoes are weird.  I've had great success with them when I've put them in a raised bed in very dense soil and failed to mound the soil as the plants grew up.  But when I tried growing them in containers so I could give them a nice, loose soil and do proper mounding to maximize the crop, I've gotten nothing.  So

Woo hoo!  You'll be harvesting a bumper crop of berries in no time!  (And only one cucumber lost in the snow?  Not too shabby — that's easy to remedy.)

I learned it from my mother, and refuse to call ours just a bottle opener.  "Church key" is so much cuter, and is a mom-ism.

Yeah, I remember going to a very unpleasant day camp for one summer when I was really little.  We very rarely had to suffer through the entirety of swim time because someone could be relied on to shit in the pool pretty much every day.  Thanks, pool-shitters at that camp on Long Island whose name I can't remember from

@avclub-7dc8b441cf4e6fe9bc806679c4579e68:disqus I also really liked their EP from last year, "The Bulls & The Bees".  (And "Freak Puke" is excellent, but I say that as a Trevor Dunn superfan.)

I'm glad we've come around here to lay a lot of the blame on the utterly gratuitous opening title bit.  I think a lot of my issues with the movie wouldn't have come up at all if that had been left out.  It absolutely started the whole thing off on the wrong foot, creating less an unreliable-narrator situation than a

Not that my life is literally anything like what happens Funny Bones, that was one of my very favorite movies when it first came out.  I raved about it so much to my older sister that she finally relented and watched it on video with me.  This was back when I was still floundering my way through college and struggling

Nah, I think that's the correct take on the movie, not the asshole one.  Or… maybe I'm also an asshole?  Impossible!

I read that as "plenty of people empathize with the characters in Speed."  It seemed impressive that so many other commenters here agreed…
