"Some folk'll never make the jury
And then again some folk'll
Like Alec, the slack-jawed yokel!"

I was, too, but then I remembered Russell Peters' name (he even joked about it during one of his earlier specials), so I figured I should assume nothing about surnames.

I'd like to think if I became obscenely wealthy, I'd enjoy spending an afternoon dropping thousands of dollars here and there through funding modest Kickstarters. I imagine it'd make people so happy to see their misguided dreams fulfilled!

I'd be okay with someone being exposed as a literal monster, you know, with the ripping off the face-mask and "Bow before Shuma-Gorath" and such.

Also was this the year we started using the term "fall finale"?

Are there any etymologists ready with an essay submission explaining why they use "Ser" in place of "Sir"?

Although its voice acting is comparatively limited to modern games, I still love how your party in Baldur's Gate 2 can be made of the female Commander Shepard, Pinky and the Brain, Phil and Lil from Rugrats, and Mom from Futurama.

Anton Yelchin needs to fire his agent before he cements his status as the go-to young guy to be in a movie with a fading old guy. First there was The Beaver with Mel Gibson, then this - what's next, Secretariat with BoJack Horseman?

It was a murder mystery/RPG/business sim called Mansion Lord that just looked fun and unique. Unfortunately there was absolutely no biographical information about the company making it, which should've been a major red flag. Also, I didn't know how Steam Greenlight worked, so I thought the fact it was greenlit meant

Hey, if Outback Steakhouse is good enough for Liz Lemon…

I'm grateful for getting burned on Kickstarter this year. Crowdfunding is so emotion-driven, and I thought I was above being suckered by one cool video - how wrong I was! As the time between updates kept getting longer and longer - and started having no more content other than asking people to contribute to their

Carth gets a lifetime pass for me for his "I'm not a warrior, I'm a soldier" rebuttal to Canderous. Fantasy has too many proud noble warrior cultures, and it's nice to see one called out for what it was.

But that was two censuses ago, since the "about" pronunciation question was part of the scrapped long-form census.

What size of screen are you playing Wonderful 101 on? I also gave up on the game because I had no idea how to see what was going on, but I'm also in a small apartment where my 27" monitor doubles as my TV. I've often thought if I ever had my Wii U connected to a TV of decent size, I'd actually enjoy the game, but if

Forced costume party? Has your life suddenly turned into Bob's, from Bob's Burgers?
"We've got some sort of Chewbacca, the sun, Summer Frankenstein…" "That's not a thing."

True story: In university, I once said to one of my professors his course was like playing Civilization. He took it as a compliment - which it was intended as - but in retrospect I feel incredibly embarrassed. I mean, I feel it's like enrolling in Le Cordon Bleu and saying, "This is just like Cooking Mama!"

This is also why James Franco and his Japanese body pillow, Kimiko, were not able to play this season.

I literally only read She-Hulk and All New X-Factor, but I only purchase trades, so… this one's on me, everyone. Sorry. (I know Dan Slott even complained about it in-book on his run!)
But seriously, I just can't stand keeping singles. I tried to switch to digital but it was just clumsy. The trade gives me the best

Or you come down with a case of Chester A. Arthritis.

Casey Wilson's been in that position twice before, and Happy Endings turned it around by the end of its first season. Saturday Night Live was just Saturday Night Live, though.
