"So there wasn't even an awning …?"

Yeah their cheese curds are hard as a rock. I'm guessing it's because they're frozen as opposed to fresh. But other places do breaded fried cheese a whole lot better than Culvers (Arby's cheese sticks come to mind).

There are Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers locations in Iowa?

People are terrible grillers. I try to grill in a way that is not terrible, but it's hard to get right when I only grill at most for 4-5 months out of the year, twice a week at most, with everything from burgers and brats to flank steak and chicken. The easiest things to grill are chicken thighs and fish; hardest are…

Big kudos to my cool mom for offering to buy me the book at some 6th grade book fair. I had never heard of it before, but she was like "This is good, I know you'll like it." I feel like I was at the perfect age and maturity level (kind of mature but not a lot, lol) to really take it all in.

Dude needs a chief of staff or something to help him realize that putting this kind of thing in writing makes him seem like some ultra douche. I don't necessarily begrudge any celebrity for wanting privacy, but putting it in a huffy email message doesn't make the person asking for privacy seem worth your respect other…

Isn't that the name of the baker's assistant in the animated Beauty and the Beast :P

You truly have a future on the internet.

Yep. In the first seasons Martin Freeman most definitely passed as a native of Brainerd, Thief River Falls, Bemidji … any of those small northern minnesota towns. Ewan McGregor on the other hand still sounds like an Edinburgh transplant. Maybe he's lived there for 20 years but still has a bit of Scottish peatiness in…

The continuing trend of no solo harmonica in all TV theme songs these days is really telling about the state of our society.

You're right, I've thought about that too. I remember members of my family in the 1980s telling me to never say the word "fart" in front of my grandfather - how the hell could "Boner" just be the name of a secondary character on a family sitcom? Friends of the Severs, of all families!?

I agree. I was going to donate and put in like "on behalf of the AV Club commenting community" but it didn't have a "are you donating on behalf of anyone?" field :(

I remember in high school we would always play that riff on the guitar as a joke (this was around the time that song was popular). We were so ironic. It was probably called a goof back in then instead of a joke.

Everybody knows what's in room 101 … David Lee Roth in those weird pants.

It's my second favorite musical stage adaptation about a dystopian future, right behind "Stop the Planet of the Apes I Want to Get Off."

And here comes a Nachos Bell Grande to chop off your head!

Like a banana republic?

When the gold bullion peddlers and doomsday scenario pamphlet purveyors denounce O'Reilly, then we'll be close.

I just sent them $100. ANTE UP

That's a good point. I think I learned about all those other ones as a kid though. The Snow Queen was a new one for me, and when I read a very detailed article discussing the Frozen production process (which detailed how Disney, over like eight decades, slowly shaped The Snow Queen into what would eventually become…
