A coworker saw this over the weekend, and yesterday informed us it is the funniest movie. It is so great. It took a Herculean amount of restraint not to make a shitty comment about Kevin James, Mall Cop, King of Queens, Grownups, I Now Pronounce You Gay Panic Jokes, etc.

Were the 'Vern' commercials national? I thought they were for Braum's, which is an Oklahoma-based, regional chain. My understanding was that Varney was a truck driver for Braum's, and kind of fell into the job.

Their first album came out in 1974. 1974 was the year I was born. Their first album had a round shape. My nipples have a round shape. Therefore, logically, my nipples are Kiss's first album.

Senor Bagofcrap - the old one or the new one? I can almost imagine the old one being okay… except maybe the part where James Earl Jones turns into a snake.

Here's a story, bros: I once spent an entire day watching The Truth About Cats and Dogs over and over while tripping on some very strong LSD. Things were getting out of control, and that movie just really calmed me down. There is nothing scary or tense in it at all. I wouldn't much want to watch it straight, but it's…

Man, that's lucky. I'm slightly tall, but I've never got to date a tall girl. There's these 6-foot lawyer ladies in my building I see in the elevator sometimes, and I wish we could get stuck in there together. Wowie zowie, that's a spicy meatball.
