That always pissed me off. The princess is finally not only playable, but also clearly the best and most powerful character, and then it all turned out to be that douche Mario's dream.

Well, in fairness, the announcers frequently mentioned his status as an elite climber, and putting contestants' profession under their names is a holdover from the original Japanese version (resulting in genuinely delightful arcs like getting to watch the Gas Station Attendant become a Gas Station MANAGER over the…

Yes, and Britten handled Caldiero's stage 4 performance really well too. He probably figured Caldiero would beat his time since Britten barely beat the buzzer and climbing is Caldiero's forte, but regardless Britten's reaction was quite classy.

I was excited for both of them, but I feel a bit bad that the guy with a wife and kid missed out on the million while they guy whose whole vibe is living simply ("he doesn't even have a checking account," etc.) is taking it home. I quite enjoy the camaraderie amongst the contestants in general and thought Ninja Popeye…

If it's any consolation, I missed Baton Rouge, and I'm from there. My high school mascot was the Red Stick for God's sake.

Wait, what? The French candle in the cartoon? What?

Hey, he's also the one who realizes he can't keep up with the other team's player and gives the petulant kid (who I think is the guy from Scrubs) his position in the final game. That's characterization!

Oh shit! Until two seconds ago I thought Ralph and Ray Fiennes were different people too! Thanks for clearing that up for me, Hypnotoad!

I'll have to remember that. I pass a theater on my campus every day that has pictures of actors from some of the plays that have been performed there on the outside walls, and one of those actors is whichever the white one is of David Keith / Keith David, and every fucking time I pass it I spend the next five minutes…

Like porn!

. . . and I gasped. Stupid latent Catholicism!

I know that the spirit of denouncing her revolves around her hypocrisy, but I've just seen too many memes that seem to criticize her relationship history, or her looks, or her way of dressing, or her "white trash" nature, which to me elides the obvious truth that she could be a stunning, well-dressed woman who'd been…

I really liked the way they didn't paint Rabbi Dan as a bad guy all of a sudden, but they did demonstrate how, when the relationship suddenly didn't fit right, everything he did was awkward and wrong, even though he was doing nothing wrong. The dancing, the support, the massaging — all super-awesome boyfriend stuff .…

Oh Jesus Christ. That's . . . fuck. I'm so sorry about, well, everything involved in that post. Jesus.

Let me begin by saying I hate, hate, hate this woman's position and the support she has garnered. That said, I also hate the slut-shaming and classist rhetoric going into condemning her. A lot of the criticism I'm seeing relies on criticizing her personal history in an attempt to draw attention to her hypocrisy, or,…

You hush. Banjos are awesome. They don't deserve your slander.

I just assume she's the next Joe the Plumber — a brief and ultimately laughable blip on the radar.

I just downloaded this. It's amazing. You've done good in the world today, euripides trousers. Never forget that.

Oh, I always thought the line was "you have a shorty but you don't show up," and I thought that meant he had a kid he didn't take care of. It really negatively impacted my impression of the Scrub in question. Now I feel bad. Eh, but not that bad, as I'll simply amend my interpretation to mean that he has a girlfriend…

And I certainly hope "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" isn't targeted at teenagers. . . .
