I refuse to believe your cable company doesn't know what you're watching, and doesn't sell that information to all the networks. It just doesn't seem possible that this is not occurring.

Look, if you're not right outside Ms. Sharp's office ready to give her whatever (and I mean WHATEVER) she wants, you're not going to be working at Massive Dynamics for very long, now are you?

Nice pickup, you both.

This is inarguably a very good show, but I get nothing funny out of Phil. I don't need him killed off, but I'd like to dial back the amount of time the camera spends on him.

Fun aside, when they moved it behind the counter, I tried the new chemical that wasn't so closely monitored. Only I was so used to taking two in a dose, I accidentally double dosed for about a week. Now I always know where my liver is, because it was killing me.

Mr. Skull, this is actually important to me. Despite the fact that two of my younger sisters had to get tubes in their ears, I only had one ear infection as a baby. But in high school, I started getting them all the fricking time. I'd go see the pediatrician, and he'd put me on one antibiotic or another, and I'd…

Eli Sucks
I was actually starting to sour on Ash a bit, but watching him so desperately try to keep Mike from going home was really sweet. He looked pained when they singled out Mike as the candidate from that team to go home, as if he wanted t o scream "No! Weren't you listening! It is I who should go home!" I…

(Which was not at the arena. I wasn't bragging about seats, just cities.)

That Yzerman goal was awesome from where I was sitting.

Mr. Oates: With every example you further demonstrate the extent to which you do not get it. Please stop digging.

And it's really hard to argue with the logic that with the professional team, you're also getting a huge commitment to youth hockey. And how do you build hockey fans? You put a stick in their hands when they're 7. But that means you've got to expect to wait 30 years before you'll start to see the benefits from a…

Wow, wikipedia (and in this one instance, my memory) is awesome:

Mr. VanDerWerff is just working as hard as possible to make us all wish we had his job.

Anything more captivating than humiliation and loss? I don't know. Let's take a look at Leyland, Polanco, and the ump and see how captivating it is.

Detroit Radio
When I was little, shortly after I got my first clock radio for my birthday, the country station in Detroit (ah, for the days when there was only one) played "Friends in Low Places" on repeat for at least 24 hours, with recorded (and hopefully staged) segments in between about how to kill a fox. I…

90% of the time Pete's just like me, and 10% of the time he's doing some horrible thing to Trudie. Or an au pair. It makes me sad. We try so hard!

I've totally heard that Wilco song before
It pains me to say it, but the whole A Ghost Is Born album really improves if you speed it up a bit, while suppressing the pitch. After I saw them live, I can practically see all the other band members looking confused at each other as to why Mr. Tweedy just won't let them…

Once the raises came up there was no way everyone wasn't going to be comparing. And also the accountants see every check. So secrecy wasn't an option. But my dad's a lawyer, and they give out merit-based raises every year. It's part of being a lawyer, and no one complains. Except my dad when he brings home about…

Merit-based raises need to be brought into the office culture way before it's raise time. You can't just suddenly say "This guy's getting a huge raise because he's AWESOME. You are receiving less money."
