I totally agree, Mr. Monster—raising a kid was the best thing I ever did and helped me make some sense out of life (well, that and my son is just a wonderful human being who's pleasant to have around, even in his late teens). Having a kid helped me to get over myself and really focus attention on others—usually when…

It could be what he tells himself to justify his abandonment of his youthful ideals. You know, the whole "oh I used to believe that all races were equal…when I was a doe-eyed 30-year-old…" Or maybe he became less of a shitty person—I'm willing to admit the possibility, because I'm just plain generous that way.

Yeah, all that magic potential we had has a way of becoming the depressing actual. I never became a famous writer or musician; I had a kid at age 23; I had to get a job. I think what keeps me together is the fact that finding humor seems to get easier every year. And I've learned to appreciate what I have—even…

I wish you'd stop mentioning the sweet, sweet embrace of death. You're a legend, Buzz, and I'd miss you.

Macaulay?

Mustard's good on 'em for me. Mmm-hmm.

Jew-dyyy!

Ms Blume, we've traced the call. It's coming from inside Xanderpuss' own ass!

2014: the year in which I lost the last lingering traces of give-a-fuck about all superhero movies.

B.C.: mostly gonch/gaunch, gonchies, some gotch
Alberta, Saskatchewan: mostly gotch/gotchies, some gaunch
Manitoba: gitch or gotch/gotchies
Some pockets of Ontario use the term too, I'm sure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel was very enjoyable too, I thought. O'Dowd is great in pretty much everything he's in, and not just because of his delightful Sligo accent.

Family Shit Day is my favorite holiday! My dad is pretty strict about the tempo—he beats a large skin drum to make sure everyone's defecation progresses at he same time. The inspection process can be time consuming, though. Parce que moi je rêve, moi je ne le suis pas.

It was just your typical weekend on the Canadian prairie. I wandered about the house in just a housecoat and gitch, with a mickey of CC in the pocket of the housecoat. I lay on the chesterfield awhile, eating Christmas dainties. After Coach's Corner, I went outside and it was so cold I had to pull a hoody over my…

'Twas a mighty movie to be sure, and its like will not be seen again, but I'd still vote for Boyhood, as it's really the ultimate coming-of-age movie (in that the actor himself comes of age). If it were just the gimmick of the time involved it wouldn't get my vote, but it was also beautifully written and directed. I…

I haven't seen any of the movies on this list, but I can tell you that 2014 was the year in which I sat through all of Zach Braff's Wish I Was Here, a film that caused inestimable damage to the subjunctive mood and to my own mood. *billy boy punches a Zach Braff inflatable wobble that's beside his desk*

The system works!

I wasn't sold on all of the characters, but I really liked Neal, Sloan, Charlie and Will. Oh, and Don of course. *gleefully rubs hands together, twitches his snidely whiplash mustache* I'll miss the show, though I won't miss seeing words like "Sorkinverse".

I started my a.v. club commenting career in the BB comments, sometime near the end of season two, but I mostly made dumb predictions or talked about minor gags because I suck.

He's not. I've seen a photo of ZMF without the hood. He's tall, thin, has thick, close-cropped black hair—looks sort of Mediterranean. Rabin…doesn't look like that.
