Football is the only sport where carrying the ball out of bounds means you still get to keep it. That's the absurd bit.

I don't really like trying to pin down "thesis statements" in art, since an academic thesis statement proper acts as a tl;dr, while art exists as a simulation and is much thornier, because these statements have specific contexts. Even a dry thesis-like statement, such as "all happy families are alike; all unhappy…

I'm not sure that it matters. Perhaps host wear a variety of color hats to designate them as hosts, whiles guests choose from white or black.

Yep, also true. Though it does also bring up problematic discussions of secular (ish) government vs theocracy, even if pre-Royal Israelites were pretty anarchic.

On facebook my most consistently anti-Trumper friend has also been the most consistently conservative. The sort where if they discussed their conservatism with you you'd probably disagree but still respect it as a non-crazy point of view.

loopholes. Loopholes that you could drive Walter Jr's Dodge Challenger through.

Here I get to put on my Sunday School teacher hat and drag Sean Hannity back to class: you fucking dipshit, did you even pay attention? First off, David had all of 8 wives. There were possibly more mistresses and wives but generally they went without mention. Second, if you think the Biblical writers were applauding…

Eh, she also said that the only people who can reform Wall Street are people from Wall Street. Which is bullshit, and ignoring that is horseshit, even if it's just a wee pile compared Trump's apeshit.

That would be a great series for an Ignatiy type.

What conspiracy? It's one dude reviewing the show and a bunch of other people talking about what they liked about it. Interesting enough, the few people who don't like the show never talk about w h y or w h a t they don't like about it.

So you dislike a new section because it doesn't fit with your (incredibly incorrect) preconceptions of the AV Club, so now you're doing a meaningless threadjack? Furthermore, a meaningless threadjack on a piece about a man trying to deal with his grief?

Eh, both Deadspin and Vox had articles about how Stormfront being pessimistic about Trump after the debate. Of course, they thought the moderator was too soft on Clinton, but also thought Trump was straight up terrible.

Hard cider is almost as bad as champagne for me. I just start sipping it and I instantly get a headache from the sugar and alcohol.

literally nothing in your comment is true.

I know one Indian (I guess now more Indian-American) cook who has a notorious curry (delicious but it will make you cry), where the heat actually comes more from the cloves than from the garam masala (though his is pretty spicy).

I think Australia is the only place where multiple football codes have succeeded—Union, League and Aussie Rules.

"Characters can go [awkward, noticeable silence] themselves.

It's strange to credit a lot to something intangible, but Joanna's belief in Tyrell's survival has been a tremendous catalyst for the conclusion of this season. Just by giving the phone to Eliot to track him down, it has led to Cisco getting murdered, Darlene getting captured and Elliot reconnecting with Tyrell. All…

No, but you should be worried that you're a concern troll.

I think they've been a room short for a while, but I have no idea how it's worked.
