The first season of Parks & Rec is meh. There's a lot about it that's not great. Season two they got it right and subsequently it's one of the best sit-coms ever. When I talk to people who've never seen it, I have to say, "Season 1 sucks in comparison to the rest of the series."

I've always felt that anything Carrie Brownstein does that isn't playing a guitar and rocking out is a net loss to popular culture.

And her voice! And her vibe. What a special band they were.

Oh snap!

What the hell website do you think you're on?

We get it. You like the spinners.

"What you want and what you need has been confused."

And the statement was: my ego and career are more important than principles? I do remember all that well, the movie and his amazing performance, and also the fact that he was the only actor that showed up to the Emmy's that year. In my neck of the woods, he would be called a "scab." I always wondered if he lost any…

As a native of Nanaimo and a lover of sugar, I have to recommend that anybody who's curious whip up a pan of them. It's the best square ever. You can keep your brownies, blondies, lemon squares. My wife makes the best ones in the world, of course. But any homemade Nanaimo Bar is going to be delicious.

Zines. I still love zines.

I agree with you generally, but we've all seen horrendously incorrect bullshit on Wikipedia and we've all seen biographies clearly written by the celebrity's agent and we've all seen those horrifically written articles and fuck Wikipedia for banning me after I altered the entry for the mayor of my city to entirely…

It could also have been "Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales asks, 'Have you heard the good news about Ayn Rand?'"

Marrying Diana Krall? Everybody is entitled to make a horrible mistake once or twice in their life.

The Police had a ton of great songs but yeah, Sting has a lifetime's worth of cringe-worthy lyrics behind him.

From the title alone, I knew it would be O'Neal. A nice Friday present.

That really is the shocker in all this.

I've worn an NP shirt once or twice while out with my young daughters. . . but I felt guilty doing it. Ignorant people will judge.

Like many who don't usually read Newswire bylines until they finish the story, I am continually tickled by how easy it is to recognize a Sean O'Neal story, usually by the end of the first paragraph. This is the first time the words "jacking off on a bald eagle" were the tip-off.

Same story, our house is 110 years old too and we've discovered cool stuff in the nooks and crannies. Plus, when we moved in, my wife saw a door open by itself a couple times until she loudly said, "We're here to stay. You can leave now" and it never happened again.
