My favorite is "Silent Night/Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" by Tom Waits.

Chris Makepeace random roles? I think we're all dying to know what it was like working with Grace Jones in Vamp.

No pallie, this is Bronson, Missouri.

…wish MORE stuff with…

Doesn't he get his dick bit in that one, too? Been a while since I've read it.

I think the 'covered with sores and boners' line is from the Jarmusch episode, but does it matter? Every episode of that show is fucking hilarious, but the Waits and Defoe ones are definitely the best.

Weather talk? C'mon AV Club, you're better than this.

Hagar is a big ol' teddy bear.

Rogers gold turd returned!
It's pretty sad how excited I got when it was revealed Roger's golden turd that has caused so many good people to kill each other was the magic component to making his spaceship run. Those tangents the show used to go on were awesome, but they're even moreso now that it paid off in the way…

The "Somewhere Out There" Montage Ending is probably my favorite thing the series has done to this point.

Dr. Nick has been back since the movie… He was Dr. Hibbert's caddy in one episode, and then there was last season when Moe went to him for a legectomy so he could marry that little person.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check him out.

Alexie would have been a great addition.

Show them your cock.

Her worst sin is writing run-on sentences.

Joke extablished.

mbs ripped on me. It's time for me to leave the AV Club and never come back.

I love the point about
Him being this huge, odd dude, and yet totally an unassuming, even friendly, gentle being… Why does that come off as so menacing to us? It just does.

Hilariously enough, the wife was fine with the DeVito couch birth, but covered her face when Charlie went after Santa. Of course, she was also fine with the much-more-brutal animated sequence.
