That penne and peas dish looks damned tasty. Grandma was wise to forbid sharing the recipe, or I'd eat it every day.

Just chiming in to say that I love all Archer car chases, and this was a good one.

Would you consider yourself pro- or anti-lyrics?

Skipping Chicago again? The last time I schlepped to Milwaukee to see Clutch, they sent an email canceling the show when I was already on the road, which resulted in a fruitless three-hour round trip.

See, that was the best part of the discussion, and I wish it had been allowed to go on for longer. There was more to say there; I've been toying with the idea that the only two emotions that bring about lasting social change are fear and greed. The non-violent protests that have worked often have an undercurrent of…

So that perfectly round bald spot is called a "tonsure", and it's the official monk hairdo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

I'll stick up for Cutler, if only because I feel like his only problem is that (like me) he has less patience than most people for the bullshit rituals the NFL and its parasitic hangers-on in the media insist on. After a loss, the QB has to take all the blame when his teammates have missed blocks and dropped perfect…

I turned 41 on Sunday; I can't be expected to remember what happened every Tom, Dick, and Aught-ty.

A fair point. The Pats can have the run-up to the Iraq War. Which was initially successful (2003 - Tampa Bay (NFC)) but was followed by a disastrous occupation (four straight AFC wins from 2004-2007).

I trust I'm not the only one who loves this: http://www.footballasfootba…

As a public service, I will explain why you should root for your conference, as long as your conference is the NFC. Like many atheists, I have a set of core superstitions that I hold to, and the biggest one is this: when the AFC wins the Super Bowl, bad things happen to America.

Oddly, it reminds me of Sam the Eagle. Not mad, you know. Just disappointed.

It took somebody's think piece for me to make the connection too. And to be fair, the characters are much more distinct than they are alike, which IMO makes the idea that Cosby's travails will affect Springfield's favorite doc Not Worth Much Consideration. It'd be like feeling differently about Fred Flintstone if we…

Agreed. There is literally no room in that title for the show to be what Kate Kulzick wants it to be. Hopefully we won't have to sit through a paragraph of criticism every week that a show is doing what it says on the tin.

Yes! Those opening credits were fantastic.

I've smoked pot for over 25 years and never learned to roll a joint; I bought a rolling machine instead. Technology to the rescue!

Thank you. For my next trick, I'll ignore criticism. Hooray for me!

The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis, Who Pooped the Bed?, The Gang Wrestles for the Troops…there are just too many choices. (My personal favorite, and the one I show people who have never heard of the show, is Hundred Dollar Baby.)
