This is utter bullshit. Comedy is about telling jokes and making people laugh. Hecklers make that impossible, in some cases. This moronic attitude that hecklers are just part of the fun is beyond stupid. And if you're one of the assholes who does this, do everyone a favor and stop going to shows.

Here's what I don't get: why the fuck is heckling allowed at all? Why don't comedy venues say, hey, dickweeds, if you heckle you get one warnings, and if you do it again you're kicked out? It just creates an awkward situation for everyone, and no one likes it.

@avclub-589622fb3974db41fbe4a37b78d8585c:disqus You smooth talker, you

You regretted asking a rhetorical question to the assholes at the AV Club?

If you edit a comment more than once, I think it gets automatically flagged. Because disqus loves typos and unwieldy sentences, I guess.

Last weekend I cooked fish from scratch for the first time. Previously I'd only "cooked" frozen, pre-breaded tilapia fillets, but on a whim I got a really nice piece of yellowtail from the farmers market.

What does one do at an AV Club meetup, exactly? Other than hand jobs, that part I know about already. Just talk about…what your favorite Gateway to Geekery is or something? 45 minutes of Leonard Pierce jokes and then everyone goes home?

A bookie will take both sides of the action, generally, but they're not a middle man, per se. In other words, we got tot the bookie; I bet on Barbie and you bet on Ken. Barbie wins. I don't have to wait for you to pay the bookie to get my sweet, sweet money.

Yeah, it's a ridiculous plan on Big Jim's part. "Hmm, no one will have any questions about an old woman floating in Lake Poison with her hands bound. I'll get off scot free!"

This is what happens when "nerd culture" becomes socially acceptable. And they're undoing years of anti-bullying campaigns, because I want to bully the fuck out of everyone who signed that petition.

Wow, that's a tough spot for you, since they've criminalized solo movie-going and all.

Because everyone know billionaires have to resort to online dating to get laid.

It's a great story, but I don't see it as a TV show. There doesn't seem to be much of an arc to it, just a steep slope downward.

Hey, I'm reading a Denise Mina book right now! Field of Blood as a matter of fact. I've found it a bit confusing in it's thorough Scottishness, especially since it's a period piece, but I really like the characters, particularly the protagonist. I'll definitely read another. I suppose I'll check out Garnethill next.

Yep, it looks like this Plane really…
(puts on sunglasses)
"crashed"…into the tarmac on departure, killing all 143 people on board, including little Jeremy Frederickson, 9, who was traveling by himself for the first time to visit his grandmother.
(takes sunglasses back off, revealing eyes red with tears)
So don't tell me…

@K. Thrace Yeah, I think that's largely BS at this point. Men definitely have the same career pressure, and considering that people are getting married and having kids later and later, there doesn't seem to be that much societal pressure on women to do these things before 30.

Be careful, there may well be Whovian riots. Which are basically just people drinking tea and muttering about what were they thinking, there's no way he could be the doctor, he's all wrong for the part. But the muttering will be slightly louder than usual. Pack earplugs.

Your quote and your question demonstrate the frivolity of the suit

Sweet Jesus, is that a pic of Aubrey Plaza up there? I honestly didn't recognize her, and I'm a huge P&R fan.

I think they rely on self-reporting from the addicts, who aren't necessarily the most trustworthy bunch. At the same time, the producers do seem to foot the bill for 3 month stays in (what I assume are) high quality facilities. Plus they often send family members to Betty Ford or other places for their own…
