You never go ass to bass!

I literally put it on almost every night to go to sleep. But in a good way!

To paraphrase the late Roger Ebert, Sarah Palin isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel; Sarah Palin doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as barrels.

I went through a similar thing as Ghaleon for about a year or so, and I really only got help because I've had several family members commit suicide and I couldn't stop thinking about it, even though I never felt compelled to do it myself. It was the worst time in my life, but it did give me a bit of insight to the way

When I was young, I was going to a really small elementary school and I was the only kid that I knew at the time whose parents were divorced. They had been for a long time, but I think some part of me didn't understand what it was about my family that was different from everybody else's, and on some level I wondered

Very true. I barely remember this show, although like everyone else, I probably watched it on Lifetime during one of those early-90's middle school summers. And yet at least every other time I'm at the grocery store and I pass the meat section, some part of my brain goes, "that's where the money is."

Too soon!

Members of my family still say that line to each other, apropos of nothing, 20 years later. They don't really get out much, but it is a great line.

Cool Story, Bro: When I was in middle school, I was taking piano lessons and had just discovered "alternative" music (read: not Top 40) and was getting dissatisfied with only learning and playing classical music. So I asked my piano teacher if I could play something for recital that was a little more contemporary. So,

That is honestly a great story. I have almost lived it to some degree, except it wasn't ever closing night, and unfortunately the band(s) didn't stop playing the song after 8 bars.

True. The best reason to hate "What I Got" is that it boils down to two chords, over and over. Which means every dudebro with a guitar can immediately play it when they have a captive audience, and they do. See also: Songs that should be banned forever from open mics.

It's pronounced "Czolgosz."

My first concert was also Weird Al, on the Bad Hair Tour.

I have a friend who worked for AOL in what they called the "saves" department, which meant he almost exclusively took calls from people who wanted to drop AOL — and this was in the early-to-mid 2000's, when broadband prices were becoming reasonable and dial-up speeds were no longer cutting it. His pay basically

Ditto. Also the fact that any time I try to tell either of my parents about a show like Community, they have either never seen it or saw it once and didn't like it, and then immediately follow that with, "Oh, but do you watch Big Bang Theory?" (this, in fact, happened last night, though not for the first time).

I think post-Crisis, there's just been the green kind. I could be wrong; it's been a while.

Good for you. I was actually run off the road while driving to high school by a semi, though fortunately it was in a spot with wide shoulders. Woke me right up. And since I've driven across he country a few times now, I've noticed trucks weaving in and out of their lane and kept a wide berth more than once.

Damn, I drove that coming back from Christmas at my parents' a year and a half ago, and that was some serious white knuckle shit. I felt safer driving in Miami than the NJ Turnpike, and speed limits and lanes are just suggestions in Miami. Get well soon, Tracy.

You guys really should; it's on YouTube for free and everything. Watched it on my lunch break a few months back.

That's a paddlin'.
