Agreed. Dwight the character has crossed the line of obnoxiousness plenty of times, but that's the fault of the writers and directors. I appreciate how fully Wilson throws himself into the role every single episode. A lot of that cast checked out mentally several seasons ago, but you can't say Wilson isn't giving it

They used to reliably crank out at least one awesome, unexpected cover per set. I've seen them do Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer," Macy Gray's "I Try" and Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy." They've laid off the covers when I've seen them in recent years, sadly.

They played it throughout that tour, from what I understand. But high-five to Trill anyway.

A couple spring to mind:

No joke, seeing Built to Spill play that note for note after some jerk yelled it out was one of my favorite concert surprises ever.

Or "outmoded cell phone calling plan."

Well, I spend so much time making sweet love on my wife, that it’s hard to hear anything over the clatter of her breasts.

Not that Wally Wood was especially kid-oriented, at least not in his best-known work, but I'm fond of his '70s porn parody comics. Malice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Ooze are pretty much like Mad features minus the censors.

There's a great collection of Giesel's pre-Seuss work called The Tough Coughs as He Ploughs the Dough that includes a lot of his collegiate writing and early one-panel cartoons. Most of those have a decidedly adult bent, including a few overtly sexual installments. I read that book so many times over as an adolescent.

Will Shortz knows that the estate of Eero Saarinen is not to be trifled with.

I assume you mean that son of a bitch Will Perdue.

Certainly not. I'm Ed Nealy.

You seem to have mistyped "semi-celebrity" when you clearly intended to type "three-time NBA champion and living legend."

"Irony-aggravated Breakdown" makes me picture Kurt Russell with an intentionally skeevy moustache watching The Brady Bunch.

Sadly, I was still in my teens during the rein of the Arch Deluxe and thus barred from ordering it.

I remember liking that movie but I feel like I must be misremembering.

Hey, I love a good anus as much as the next fella. It's just not the first thing I look for when I'm easing into a televised comedy.

I don't know much about computers, other than, other than the one we got at my house, and my mom put a couple of games on there and I play 'em.

"Which Metal is Most Affected by Water" is absolutely something that you'd see in a real grade school science fair.

Heh, I DVR it, so I don’t have that problem, but I do always worry that my 3-year-old is going to wake up and sneak downstairs while my wife and I are watching this, thus confirming his suspicions that we stay up watching cartoons and playing with his toys after he goes to bed.
