Only Laugh of the Night
I don't know why but the image of Sting ejaculating all over a dragon until it dies really made me chuckle. But yeah, the rest of the show was borderline unbearable.

Skinner
I've been re-watching the series after some years absence (I watched it obsessively as a pre-teen/teen) and I want to know if anyone can tell me a scene in which Skinner is in where is not 100 percent terse? The man never breaks that stoic facade to crack a legitimate smile. Has anyone ever seen Skinner light…

Twin Peaks ftw!

I dated this girl who told me she fell asleep on the subway and woke up to a homeless guy ferociously masturbating right in front of her.

O'Neal on Video!?
Something tells me Sean O'Neal Fan, wherever he/she is, has taken the day off work and is just fapping like mad right now.

Conan
Anyone catch Bobby Baccala on Conan last night? Nice little coincidence: Conan even brought up The Sopranos right off the bat which is saying something given the show's been off the air for 4+ years.

@ Eponymous

Ah yes, "Chickentown" I believe is what the song is called. "Phil Leotardo's last straw" would also be acceptable.

Yeah, I always assumed Tony wasn't deceiving Chris here but that definitely doesn't mean he wasn't. It would just make Christopher that much more of a tragic character. Kid never stood a chance with a monster like Tony manipulating him from the cradle to the grave.

Tony's Weight
Gandolfini was never a small guy to begin with but I think the weight gain can be attributed to him stuffing his face in just about every scene he's in. When he was on Inside the Actor's Studio I recall him alluding to eating pretty much continuously from the start of filming to wrap.

You also gotta love Silvio's contribution to the proceedings:

That song in the Western movie Tony was watching that Todd alluded to is played over the end credits of Pie-O-My with Tony sitting in the horse's stable, smoking a cigar with it pouring rain outside. One of the more touching endings the show ever accomplished.

Great One Liners
This episode has some very choice funny moments, if I recall:

Christopher's Finest Hour
It's great to have these recaps back, Todd. They break up my work week, nicely.

Whenever I go to the Billy Goat in Chicago I get my hopes up that Bill Murray will be there riding shotgun at the end of the bar.

Sit on it, Helmsley.

Isn't that the dude who married and is now regularly sexing Christina Hendricks?

There were a lot of uncomfortable scenes to sit through in that movie but none more comfortable than the dance number the girls did toward the end. I was cringing the whole way through.

And here's a guy who cares way too much about how an anonymous Internet poster reacted to a certain album. Bitter and sassy is not a good combination for a nerd, Wally. Something tells me you're not very well liked in real life.

Shit you're right I read through that too quickly. Well he should have at least played the ringtone and then pretended to have gotten a call from someone.
