All "Brothel Laws" are urban legends.

My favorite as a kid; probably still today, I might answer Beverly Cleary as my favorite author. I wrote her a fan letter and she sent me back a very nice postcard with Ramona on the front which is still in a frame at my mom's place.

The over-under on Denver itself is 19.5 points. I assume those people saying 19 are giving gamblers a wink without a crackdown from The Shield.

"Yeah, I followed Joe Swanberg's example, I had Greta Gerwig come in, take her shirt off, play a trumpet in the bathtub. I don't know if the network is going to keep the scene, I haven't seen the final print!"

The greatest Second Opinions segment in history. Listening at work, I was attempting to contain my laughter and started crying. It almost made up for the episode having No June.

My boss's name is Bob so I sometimes want things to go wrong so I can say the line.

Well, Bono's daughter is in the movie, so…

I had listened to the New Pornographers for years, thought of myself as a big fan, and I had no idea that there are two (obviously different) male singers in the group.

The logo for the shop was a stereotypical-looking Latin American man with his hands up. "It's Just Beans" is what he's telling the Narcos.

Watch Lean on Me to see if you can spot Michael Imperioli as one of the thugs who gets kicked out of school on Morgan Freeman's first day.

Plus the special guest is a "freelance celebrity interviewer" who works for the Globe & Mail. What a get! At least it is after the election so her bosses won't force her to include endorsements for Stephen Harper in the conversation.

I saw a woman on the subway reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which was suddenly a LOT more sinister after hearing about its part in developing Manson's "philosophy".

Brilliant work again, Will. The "was that a prison training film" part was gold and it just kept getting better. I am glad there was no publicist hurrying him out the door halfway through.

The problem was HIMYM treating a not happy ending — Tracy's dead — as a happy ending because Ted got to be with Robin. If it had ended with Ted alone, drinking that primo scotch and listening to a recording of Tracy singing, that would have been a balls out unhappy ending.

I bought a bottle of Lagavulin four months ago, but hadn't had any, since I was waiting for a special occasion. Having a sip while Ron Swanson closed the deal to take controlling interest of it, and another while he paddled across that lake, was definitely special.

Beth Behr's Legs object to this statement.

"making out in the parking lot until Trey has an erection"
Teenage boy and woman played by Emily Blunt, I assume that took what, 3/4 of a second?

John Teti, thank you for the amazing column all season, one of the year's few NFL bright lights. And also for recognizing Beach Balls, who went sadly under the radar in Left Shark Week Fury.

Jack Edwards. He was screechingly terrible, with a side of giant pickup truck-style patriotism, in the US run to the final 8 of the 2002 World Cup, yet to this day he remains employed, assaulting ears on Bruins games that randomly show up on my TV.

Thanks for the tip about the Hollywood Canteen podcast. One of our family's stories is how my grandfather danced with the stunning Gene Tierney at the Hollywood Canteen. Then I recently found out that Tierney made exactly one appearance at the HC, and while there she was exposed to the measles, crippling her unborn
