Hey!
I occasionally see this guy around town. Basically the only celebrities are this guy and the occasional hockey player. And once my friend and I ruined a shot of "The Trotsky" by riding our bikes past the camera. But Jay was cool about it.

Well, she was never really Ben's daughter. And Ben apparently left the island rather quickly after arriving in the flash-sideways. Still not sure how the daughter of a French couple ended up in LA with a perfect American accent. Maybe the French expedition never happened? I've mostly given up on trying to make sense…

Oh god. Well, one less for the spank bank.

Ugh
I'm done with flash-sideways. Nothing but a chance for Darlton to wink at the superfans. "You're a real killer" wocka-wocka! And I say this even though they brought Alex back. Partly cause I like her character, mostly cause I like her face. It is a good face.

Spotify owns all. But if you are on the America side of the pond, you have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it.

Man, did you guys miss the wave of recent hate over Google Buzz/Google Books? I need to hang with less nerdy people.

The adoration Apple gets is insane. Every corporation is basically anti-consumer. But put a Feist song on your commercial and make everything shiny, and somehow the world loves you.

Well, apparently everyone takes the Oscars alot more seriously than I do. Have fun with that. I was mostly joking about how terrible Avatar is/how good Hurt Locker is.

Cause Firsties are fucking annoying and the only thing more annoying than firsties are the canned Canceraids insults?

Did you know that, according to Worthington's Law, the opera singer who called himself, 'The Great Caruso' was nowhere near as great as Sammy Hagar, The Red Rocker? So shut up, Caruso! Hey! Who's greater than Saint Francis of Assisi? How about, uh, Darryl Strawberry?

While clearly a douchebag move
The ends justify the means, right?

I shall change my Twitter background to green! It worked last time!

Well, I'm currently dating a Russian in college and I confirm that some Russians indeed do love vodka and techno! And other like wine and baroque music. Even others like rubbing alcohol and industrial music.

Trust me, Brighton Beach doesn't evoke Neil Simon outside of English departments in the 80s. It evokes really Russian restaurants and sweatsuits these days. Also, Brighton Beach sounds a lot more like a spinoff of Jersey Shore than Little Odessa.

1. Paragraph breaks are your friend.

Joe Namath was one of the best live drunks…but apparently mentioning a sports figure triggers AV Clubber's PTSD from high school, so I probably shouldn't mention that.

Eh, I remember it was a big moment that was symbolically announced baseball was back, but it was just a moment. One day and done. In 98, they would interrupt pretty much anything on TV in August and September if McGuire or Sosa was at bat.

Also, the Yankees winning the World Series almost every year helped. Average casual baseball fans are much more likely to care about the Yankees than the Blue Jays.

To be fair, I think the home run races had a lot more to do with baseball's resurgence than Cal showing up everyday.

I'm not a huge Tracy fan, but being hilarious by showing up drunk on live TV is hardly proof he is a great comedian. Maybe they should have hired this guy:
