When I got my first computer in college, my father insisted that it have a DVD drive. At the time, I had no idea what a DVD was. It was 1998.
I am also pretty sure my first college boyfriend dated me only because I had a DVD player. The guy was a turd. So… thanks, Dad.

In elementary school I was required to write the library/foundation of a former president and request info about him. I picked Carter, and in return received I think about twenty pages of info about him—far more than anything any other kid in class got. The info packet even told me his hat size (7 1/2, if I recall),…

They really were. A know I read some criticism of the show that said it was too much of a rehash of material she'd covered during her standup, but I thought the show was worthwhile just for how it fleshed out the story and gave depth to characters like her stepfather, Bill. Also, Bill reminds me of my own stepfather…

Hmm. The Carpenters might be more popular with the generation older than his (though I've heard far more John Denver at karaoke here than Carpenters). He's more of the "loudly and balefully shriek Radiohead's 'Creep'" generation. Although on a personal level, he prefers to avoid singing altogether and tries to get…

Probably not? American humor doesn't necessarily translate well. That's why big explodey action movies do better in international markets than comedies.
Also, Wayne's World is twenty-five years-old.

I live in Korea and am married to a Korean. He is completely baffled by the fact that every time Americans go to noraebang (like karaoke), they inevitably end up
singing "Bohemian Rhapsody." According to him, the song is both long and weird, so Americans' affection for it is perplexing.

I used to get dragged to a club by a guy I used to date. Every time we went, there was this guy who was maybe in his seventies, just dancing around and drinking white wine. He never really talked to anyone, and would leave once the floor got too crowded. He just loved to dance. The dude was not a creep, and absolutely…

"[S]omeone threw up and the whole place smelled like sulfuric death."

I feel like you need to shoehorn in a reference to Dokdo to make it really Korean.

I feel that way about prettty much everything I liked in high school. In my defense, though, I came of age in a period of time when the options were Korn, Celine Dion, or Barenaked Ladies. I went with Barenaked Ladies, but…
Geez. I feel like I just made a set-up for a terrible "marry, diddle, kill" scenario.

If you go back far enough in anyone's ancestry, you find a bunch of raping and pillaging hordes.

Or maybe any female friend, glamorous or otherwise. It seems very much like she was raised in a boys' world.

Your quibble is with the word "deserve," then, and not the underlying argument?

Britney Young has something about her that is very magnetic. She also seemed instantly familiar to me, even though the only thing I might have seen her in is a single episode of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend."

Athena sprang from Zeus's forehead. Venus just drifted ashore — thinking she was all hot stuff — on a seashell after Caelus yanked it into the ocean.
Also, Venus : Jupiter :: Aphrodite : Zeus
I'm fully aware this doesn't matter. Sorry for the pedantry!

Just imagine the state dinners!

That may be true. On a podcast, it's hard to judge a performer's skills as a physical comedian.

Right? I'm fine with a comedian taking a kind of tired premise, but the payoff should be something new—or at least something better than "The consoles in women's cars are dirty! They have pennies with gum on them!"

I've only heard Schlesinger perform once, on a recent episodes of Two Dope Queens. Her set seemed pretty much exactly like the type of thing Bamford was mocking (ladies act all cute to get a man, but are secretly gross!). It seemed lacking in specificity or unique insight.
My point is: I don't get where Schlesinger…

That seems like a possibility, and it would do to cut some of the fat from the show. Would it really make sense, though, for these people to be sent to the same prison? I'd think that they would be regarded as troublemakers from the prison's standpoint, and that the prison, like a savvy middle school teacher seating…
