I'm not sure how significantly the wording for the prizes differs in Nobel's will. The Peace Prize is always for something achieved in the past year, when we may not have the historical distance to judge its long-lasting success. Physics prizes seem to operate at the other extreme, where someone can wait years or…

Santana / Thomas 2016!

Upvote for "Way Over Yonder". Merry Clayton kills it on the backing vocals.

Back in college, I walked into a bathroom in the student center only to hear some guy beatboxing away in one of the stalls. Not quietly, we're talking full-on spit-flinging Biz Markie stuff. My first thought is, "Maybe he's decided this room has the best acoustics?" Only later did it cross my mind he could have been…

Soda bread might be the one for me- not a meal, but I make it every St. Patrick's Day. The recipe is from my great aunt, my grandfather's older sister who passed away before I was born. My mom's mother was… not a good cook. I'm unlikely to be making her boiled dinner or orange jello with shredded carrots anytime soon.…

Sex On the City, I'm pretty sure.

They just wanted to give themselves enough of a cushion for some sequels. This way they can do Oceans' Nine and Ten before they step on George Clooney's toes.

Well, at least his future as Professor Knives the knife salesman. Professor Knives, esteemed producer for hip-hop collective Grand Future, lives on.

Your 99 Problems don't add up to a hill-of-beans
Compared to my army getting pushed out of the Philippines
I'm down-and-out now, but I remain unconcerned
'Cause I know "I came through, and I shall return."

Frank Black - "White Noise Maker"
The Clash - "London's Burning"
The Kinks - "A Long Way From Home"
Neko Case - "Prison Girls"
Strung Out - "Deville"

Of course they love it, but that doesn't go so far as to make them actually read the thing, like some elitist intellectual. They just have to feel in their hearts what it should say at that moment in time.

They should take a page from the NFL's book and give Clinton and Trump challenge flags. Just throw it out there while your opponent is speaking, and the moderators will pause to fact check what they're saying. But they take your flag away if they check and your opponent was telling the truth.

I would have gone with Hillander, to imply that she'll unsheath a Claymore and lop his head off. There can be only one!

The special features on the DVD are great, for Jones giddily describing his conception of the Fire Gang tossing their heads and limbs about between each other. Just something about his enthusiasm for self-dismembering puppets was amusing.

Not yet there ain't. And I'm gonna lord it over them until there is! [Shakes up can of Mountain W soda, cackles madly as he pops the top and sprays foam everywhere.]

The greatest grocery store god ever gave man. Both geographically and spiritually, it began somewhere north of Whole Foods and south of Valhalla.

After Buddy Holly and Richie Valens*, they didn't want to trust anyone else with their lives in their hands.

You think that's bad? Imagine being from the part of New York that isn't New York City, and getting sick to death of hearing about how it's the greatest city in the world. How can it be, when it doesn't have a Wegmans?
