"I'm one of the few people you'll meet who've written more books than they've read."

It's all available on Youtube, if you aren't opposed to quasi-legal viewing.

I think the very first non-introductory scene of Darkplace, where Liz comes to work at the hospital might be my favorite of the entire series. The way that it begins with Liz reaching down to pet a cat that is subsequently lightly tossed to her from a doorway.

I watched the latest episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It was pretty hilarious; the Peralta-centric A-story was even the best thing about it. And there were once again a ton of great lines. "What are you talking about, bone-person?" "I'm a skeleton. It's a really common word."

Well, with The Road, he was specifically inspired by his own relationship with his son in writing that, so it's a little hard to call the lack of female characters in that one misogynistic. But there's definitely some potentially problematic stuff in some of his other works. I believe he's been quoted as saying that…

It's not that hard to translate the Spanish from Blood Meridian into English, is it?

No "The Acid Queen"?

This is only tangentially related, but I really enjoyed James Adomian's appearance as Dov Charney on Comedy Bang-Bang a couple years back, where he came up with articles of clothing like a "popcorn dick casket".

Damn, I wouldn't have even thought public opinion would even be that harsh towards PoA on the AV Club. That's pretty disheartening.

He did have finger surgery in the offseason to fix injuries sustained while golfing, and I wonder if that has anything to do with his poor start.

What I hate even more than pointless trolls (who most people will ignore), is when unpopular opinions get downvoted, such that you'll see like a dozen downvotes on something just because it diverges from popular opinion.

It's not strictly a meme, but what is the origin of all the "Sluggo" accounts? Is there an actual original user whose name is just "Sluggo"? If so, is he/she just some sort of troll? Is this something that originates from outside of AV Club?

Does anyone not prefer real books? I own an e-reader, and it's convenient at times, but real books are so much more aesthetically pleasing to read.

I vote for the Munro collection.

That's the one meme on this site that I was actually sort-of there for the start of (although not as a commenter).

Wasn't it the 'best shows that only got one season of the decade' article?

If only you were Andy Dwyer, you could have lost fifty pounds in like a month by cutting back on booze.

Holy fuck, how are you guys so good? I expected Toronto to be a playoff team, but not this. If Jonathan Bernier just understood how icing works (seriously, what is the deal with goalies who've played for the Kings giving up stupid goals while trying to play the puck?), you guys might well be in sole possession of…

Hey, how big a following do the Stars have in Texas? The one sports-knowledgeable friend I have from the Dallas area is almost comically dismissive of hockey, so I'm never sure if his claims about how small the Stars' following is should be believed or not.

Yeah, why couldn't Newest put threads in reverse chronological order, without screwing around with the replies?
