Jimmy couldn't have gone back to being a sidekick. That would have been as stupidly implausible as Ryan Howard being rehired as a temp after having ascended to the position of Dunder-Mifflin's Vice President of Regional Sales, then being fired and arrested for fraud. It would have been a blatant punching of the reset…

Also, please forget the superfluous apostrophe in the above post, memory and grammar wizards.

I just read about this in Joshua Foer's book about memory wizard's, Moonwalking with Einstein (the title of which I had to Google, because I couldn't remember it, ironically). The technique is called the Memory Palace and was supposedly invented by the poet Simonides as a means of identifying the bodies amid the…

True fact: My mother-in-law is the only person in history to describe Mark Dailey as "sexy".

Oh, hey. I wish I'd waited to read this comment before posting about my friend's baby, Niamh, subsequently renamed Neave, then re-renamed Niamh. It's a hard one, but I'd argue that its redeeming virtue is that there isn't really an alternative pronunciation that would be more obvious to English speakers, so they're…

My fiancee's friend and her Irish husband just named their baby girl "Niamh", were pressured into changing the spelling to the "Neave", then decided to revert to "Niamh". Everyone else will just have to deal with it.

I can't believe anyone thinks that the reveal of her pregnancy is a shocking plot twist. It was glaringly obvious as soon as she asked Glenn to pick up that mysterious item from the feminine hygiene section (and wouldn't it be in the family planning section?), and the show hinted at it as early as the first season's…

Also, isn't it a little self-serving for Simon to want New Guy to write sketches for black actors? I realize Simon got him the job, but he's a writer for Studio 60, not Simon's personal writer.

It's sort of fitting that Sarah Paulson dated one of the worst-ever TV presidents in real life (24's Cherry Jones), and then went on to date President Matt Albie on Studio 60.

Ha, ha! You're a misogynist, Rabin! After all your feminist posturing, you're no better than the rest of the he-man womyn-haters after all!

D.L. Hughley's character may not have allowed himself to be defined by his race, but that sure as hell didn't apply to him being allowed to define the other characters by their race.

Sam has even previously made similar comments. She's made a complete face turn since becoming self-aware for the first time.

It would be different if he'd started dating Snooki sometime before season one. But he started dating her sometime after season three, by which point she was someone who had appeared at WrestleMania, been parodied on Saturday Night Live, and become friends with the last Republican nominee for president. Unless he just…

It's really quite impressive that she can be so level-headed and basically sane without sacrificing any screen time. Compare the early, pre-douchebag Vinny of season one, who barely showed up onscreen and seemed in danger of being dropped from the cast.

And, right before the glasses went on, she was surprisingly pretty; it turns out Mayim Bialik cleans up pretty well. Combined with her turning out to be a pretty fun date, Amy Farrah Fowler was actually promising girlfriend material in this episode.

But you don't have to announce it. Just skip reading it and move on with your life. No one is waiting for your feedback or any other announcements about things you didn't do today.

As per the Chicago Manual of Style prior to the new 16th edition (and this has now changed), biblical and ancient names that end in -s don't take the extra s after the apostrophe (e.g., Jesus', Achilles'). Other names do (e.g., Chris's, Ann Perkins's).

No kidding. If you don't want to read commentary, stay out of the comment section. I, for one, appreciate insightful analysis such as the above.

Perhaps the most awful thing about it is that it's called "What's Up" despite those words not appearing in the song although the question "What's going on?" is repeated ad nauseam. That song is misnamed and misbegotten.

Also, his dad's name is Luis and his mother's middle name is Louise, so it's a family name, albeit in different forms.
