And dog relationship building.

I got a little sad at the Mike/Colin Firth story. After he settled in, my dog relationship with me went from owner/pet to straight up bromance.

Best physical comedy: Sue backhanding Axl with the cutting board.

I thought it was a B episode, but bringing back Hooked on a Feeling after Ally McBeal ruined it for me brought it down to a C-.

Why is Loretta dealing weed? I thought she had all that Mags Bennett money.

I think the mean comic book guy was played by Josh Peck. I know this because my little girl was obsessed with Drake and Josh a few years back.

So we now have photographic proof that Josh Gad is more of a Mary Ann than a Ginger.

The challenge of verse
livened this episode up.
You prefer haiku?

I was disappointed that Muscle Mom couldn't make it to dinner. Even Muscle Dad was there in spirit. Yeah, I know she's Mrs. Sorenstein, but I'm going with Muscle Mom, and when Starla finally marries Muscle Man, she's going to be Muscle Wife.

Pizza Thomas was the Thomas' costume of all Thomases.

I still prefer the newspaper column look of the old format. This just looks like first desperate redesign of a failing paper.

Billy Zabka was not always a bad guy in the 80s. HIMYM writers just conveniently ignored his work on The Equalizer, and THAT friends is Zabatage.

I would figure Robin would want to give Claude Lemieux the Old King Clancy.

"…Crowd goes apeshit."
Yes we did, Kenny. Yes we did.

The best movie we watched in school was this documentary about the hazards of smoking weed. I went to a school so overwhelmingly Caucasian that I was considered "ethnic" looking for having brown hair and eyes, and tanning in the Summer. What made the movie so gratifying was that all of the blanked out stoners…

To be fair that pissing Calvin decal really gives my trucknuts an extra pop.

My entry point for SY was Goo by way of Hal Hartley's movie Simple Men.

I've always thought it was at least as good as Goo. I remember when the AV Club came out with their five album test for band greatness, and notably omitted Sonic Youth from their list.

I have to say Pete looked good in the suit, but I would take issue with his silk tie. Pete's nouveau professional, so his suit and accessories are new. All the hip kids are wearing wool ties for some reason so why wouldn't Pete?

How the hell do you let soup reach its expiration date? Canned soup has about a two year shelf life, and it takes two minutes in the microwave to prepare. With three kids, Frankie should have been averaging a can a day.
