I saw him talk about teaching Sunday school in an interview with Conan O'Brien on Late Night several years ago. He talked a little about stuff he did in class and then abruptly got up and started singing a gospel song while doing goofy dance moves and hand motions.

That probably explains the Crusades, for the most part. There was a lot of good shit to steal in the area. And there were definitely other things on their minds, such as protecting European settlers or keeping Muslims from getting all the good shit first.

Amen.

If anything, entropy, aging, and things breaking down over time prove that the passages in the Bible about how everything in the material world eventually gets worse are pretty astute.

Wine was culturally important and safer to drink than water. So off course there's a story involving wine. It's at least partly about communicating with people in a way they could understand.

As a practicing non-denominational protestant, I have a different set of anti-Catholic biases than the average A.V.Clubber who looks for any excuse to start blaming Christians for everything bad in the history of Western Civilization. I wish he wasn't into all the unnecessary extra stuff the church in Rome pulled out…

I was trying to be light and positive for a change and you harshed my mellow before I left to go to my horrible day job. Not cool, dude. And no… you didn't have to post that comment. I could say a lot about why I don't think two of the staff picks are funny, but I was trying not to pee in anyone's Cheerios for a…

Does it help at all that at least two of the guys in their band were in Booker T. and the MGs? Steve Cropper and Donald "Duck" Dunn played on a buttload of soul tunes, so they should get a few points for being on the original recordings by folks like Otis Redding and Sam and Dave.

I'll bet you're fun at parties. Thanks for bringing me down.

It's still funny. I love so much about the Blues Brothers. The rundown of the features of the patrol car, the "half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses" speech, the Illinois Nazis falling to their death and then the other guy tells Henry Gibson he loves him, the SWAT guys who keep going "Hut…

We play both kinds of music: country and western.

Nick Offerman reading tweets by young women.

And of course, the fact that Mr. B Natural is clearly a young woman which makes the whole thing much weirder than it had to be.

It's a yellow light, but yes that scene is brilliant.

For some reason, I love the part at the end where everyone is asked to raise their hands if they ever felt bullied by the main mean girl and Tim Meadows slowly raises his hand. That whole movie is pretty great.

I love Large Marge and the movie with James Brolin as P.W. Herman.

If you're pathetic, I am too. I went through a phase when I was living in northern Idaho and I couldn't afford cable, so I watched a lot of DVDs. I lost count of how many times I watched Lebowski. I got to a point where I would turn it off before Donnie died because I couldn't watch that scene again.

In no particular order:

Donnie's death is the only thing in Lebowski that isn't hilarious.

That whole episode is comedy gold.
