Warriors reference
I only saw the latter half of this episode, but I give it props for the excellent reference to the bottle-clinking gang leader in The Warriors movie. "Warriors, come out to play-ee-ay!"

Met Helo/Paul/Tahmoh today
at Comic-Con. Very nice guy, got a signed picture. I complimented him for his work on BSG and Dollhouse and asked him if it was going to be renewed. He said he was going to find out this week. Also, Chief Tyrol is going to play Alpha, fake spoiler alert.

^I totally agree with the first paragraph, except I dutifully recycled my pair in that container at the end of Coraline. Also, they gave me a headache.

Has that song ever gone down in popularity? It's always been the go-to song for overly ambitious karaoke singers who don't realize Steve Perry had the range of a god.

Humiliating little girls is totally how British assholes get their jollies.

If a ten ton truck killed me and Zooey Deschanel,
To die by her side, well the pleasure and privilege is mine.

Have we ever seen the family go to church?

Or you can be a deathly ill character in a Tennessee Williams play.

Or how Jack sees the world. Kenneth having a value of $7.

"Oh my God, you just puked! Why didn't you warn me? I was looking at your mouth!"

VW and iPhone
I just got back from seeing this flick. While I enjoyed it, the product placement was quite noticeable, and not in the ironic Tina Fey way. I came out of the movie thinking, "Wow, I really want an iPhone so I can organize my man-dates!" Not only does Paul Rudd drive a Volkswagen Passat wagon (which I…

Yeah, I found the main female characters quite unlikable. They were the stereotypical catty, naggy, and desperate types. Though, I would like to go on record that I totes want to nail Hailey (the third friend).

No shame in losing Zooey to the formerly doughy and geeky, but now ripped and 'roided indie songster Ben Gibbard.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

getting laid
I have to disagree with your assessment of acapella groups as getting no action. The premier acapella group at my college probably had their pick of girls every week. Granted, they were the weird, geeky girls who enjoyed acapella, but still.

What was her character's name? It sounded like Lily.

Groening pretty much abandoned the show a while ago. He doesn't show up for the DVD commentaries anymore. I think he's just raking in royalties from various Simpsons merchandise and living on his homosexual party yacht.

Gwen Stefani
I'm mostly watching this show out of habit now, but I did get a good laugh out of the cards and balloons in Daphne's hospital room, addressed to "Ms. Stefani" and "Get Well, Gwen." Nothing but the best for Gwen.

As a Simpsons apologist
I've been an apologist for the Simpsons for a long time, but even I admit that the past 9-10 seasons have been pret-ty lame, Milhouse. They've devolved to the level of Family Guy, where people only remember funny scenes or lines, rather than whole episodes. I can tell that your list is weak,…
