Let me guess:

I was so confused by the "tailor" comment I thought it might be 1848 for a hot second — was split between that and 1860. I wouldn't have gotten 1864, since it turned out to be a landslide for the politicians being shit-talked in the clue.

Both of Robert Frost's poems kind of run together.

And I'm the guy in the article that's an Antz defender. What other move would have this dialogue:

Up here, Michael. Up here.

I made a hot pot with shitakes, broccoli, cauliflower, and seitan, all cooked up with lemongrass, ginger, hot pepper, got some coconut milk in there…

Worst recipe ever.

I hope you drank some of it!

I have decided that sidecars are the perfect drink for runaway climate change!

Solid stuff from late-period DM there.

Yeah, that's probably it. And now I've gone and made it look like I don't know everything on the internet. How embarrassing.

"Shame on those racist men! That's the Democrats for you!"

What exactly is it that makes Whiplash and La La Land comparable except both having a best pic nom?

As opposed to the current favorite, which is safe, inoffensive, and the Academy gets to pat itself on the back for being the Academy.

"Hey Soul Sister" is a wonder of a song. From the ukulele-only instrumentation, to the squirmy racial politics, to the downright gross imagery, it feels like a giant troll of a song. It isn't though. They're playing it 100% straight. And it turned out to be really, really popular! Sure, I guess it was released at…

I usually use butts@butts.com. I bow to the master.

A reasonable explanation? On the AV Club?

I agree that they're not really soul mates, they're just an easy connection to make as strangers in a strange land. They may or may not KNOW they're aren't soul mates — it's hard to say how much their feelings for each other and their dissatisfaction in their current relationships cloud their judgement.

I'm going to have to re-watch it. I haven't seen it since that time frame and I've had a sinking feeling that it won't hold up on rewatch… but the overwhelming consensus seems to be that it definitely, definitely will.
