    Most of what you're listing is a result of the lowering of inhibitions. Normally, I'm self-inhibited from driving if I know I can't do so safely. But alcohol will lower that inhibition, where I'd be telling myself that I'm OK to drive when I'm really not.

    First off, alcohol can have multiple effects on the same person and certainly drugs can affect different people in different ways. That's not the point of discussion here.

    My family moved to California in 1974 when I was 8. The first new word my father taught me upon arrival was "beaner," if that gives you any insight into how I was raised. He was an Archie Bunker type yet I couldn't be more different, so it's not written in stone that you turn out like your parents if they raise you

    One of the common effects of alcohol on behavior is the lowering of inhibitions. If one has a personality trait they normally keep hidden from the public eye, such as antisemitism, it becomes more difficult to keep it hidden when drinking. I stand by my statement 100%.

    No. Being drunk does not cause anti-semitism: It reveals it.

    It may be cool today, but what about the day after?

    Doesn't that apply to pretty much every red state? Texas won't let qualified professors review secondary school textbooks and removed critical thinking requirements from the high school curriculum.

    Four buns, no meat.

    I can't wheat for this to air!

    Maybe 30 to 40 years ago, not today.

    I'm 50! (Which isn't as much fun now that Molly Shannon is 52.)

    Sure, but it will come back in mid to late October 2017. You know Lorne Michaels has already called Tom Hanks to check his availability for the week before next Halloween, if not to host then to at least cameo. I simultaneously hope and fear this could become an annual tradition.

    It's definitely the Tom Hanks factor. Had it been practically anyone else it would have been forgotten by now, but Hanks sells the shit out of it because he looks like he's having so much fun doing it. Sure, it's acting, but who else could have pulled off David S. Pumpkins and made it so enjoyable?

    Can't say as i've ever tasted it myself, so i googled "Laphroaig review" and this is the first detailed review i saw: "Laphroaig tastes like Islay. Medium caramel in the glass, the Laphroaig 10 Year Old, which is their entry level Scotch, looks like any other whisky out there. Behind the obvious peatiness on the nose

    Didn't Michael say in the first episode that they've made it easier somehow for the residents of the Good Place to accept their situation and not worry about their loved ones?

    If you say it three times Mike Tyson appears.

    I was disappointed when I saw REM in Los Angeles in 1995 to find that Stipe needed the lyrics on paper.

    I'm quite discerning.

    Fortunately, Amazon is a Matthew Weiner Prime customer, so they'll have the new show delivered in two days.

    So, it's an Aaron Sorkin movie?
