If we're going to speculate as to who in the 80's was Jean-Ralphio's mom, it's obviously Martha from the Americans.

Missed out on not bringing up Tall Tales.

Brian Posehn looks terrible.

His cover of "Come Together" for the Across the Universe soundtrack is in my top three Cocker favourites (British u's in memoriam). He gives that song exactly the greasy Sweringen-esque flavor I always associated with the drumline.

Aside from serious reaction most commenters have had to allegations of rape, I've notice that most people seem to revel in taking an old celebrity down a peg. Do you think that's because Cosby "hasn't done much for us lately," or is it actually the severity of the crime? I keep thinking about the allegations against…

Be careful the way you use "slander." So far, the women have come forward with accusations, which look less and less like they can be classified as "unsubstantiated." If Dickenson had an original copy of the chapter from her biography from a decade ago (mentioned above) which included the rape allegations, it would go…

I was there too! When Louie said "Oh, Wait a minute. Here's Dave Chapelle." I turned to my wife and said "oh, low blow," thinking it was a joke. I think several comedians took advantage of Chapelle's issues last year to make broad "Man, it's white out here" jokes which, looking at my section on the lawn, wasn't any…

Isn't this, and not Zach Braff, what Kickstarter is for?

You know what? He doesn't look that bad. Granted I've only seen him in multiple layers of flannel before, but it looks like GRRM may be slimming down. My hope for three more completed books is reignited!

Having said all that, it is likely that the lawsuit, whether true or not, will have its intended effect; namely the plaintiff receiving a large settlement agreement backed not only by Singer but also the studio who wants to tamp down bad press. If, however, Singer fights it (which I doubt he will, too much potential…

There has to be some accountability. In all other areas of law we permit a setoff for "mitigation of damages," the idea that you can't intentionally make worse a wrong that is done to you.That is not to say in any way that we blame the victim or are ignoring the awful, uncharted and unpredictable personal consequences…

When in Rome! How did you miss that at the end, O'Neil?

Tasha, as a constant reader/very infrequent commentator, I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of the multitudes who are effected by your work but from whom you rarely recieve feedback. All of your work has reflected the spirit of bringing disperate people together that I think we often lose sight of in the race to…

I'm glad Flaming Moes and Nuka-Cola got shoutouts, but I've only got three words: Five. Dollar. Milkshake.

I can't stop thinking about the Pete Rose story I heard on Greg Proop's podcast: Pete Rose is in a hotel banging his girlfriend when a teammate knocks on the door to tell Rose his wife just showed up at the hotel. Rose replies, "I didn't drive 200 miles to fuck my own wife!"

I'd like to nominate this article for the O'Neil highest snark to lowest news ratio article of the year award. It's an instant classic.

I learned you can say what you really think about religion from George Carlin. From then on, I pray to Joe Pesce.
