If you’re interested, I’d recommend Vertigo for your next Stewart movie.

The limo’s parked around the corner, like at the end of Blazing Saddles.

Shallots and parsley in latkes is a crime. These are the people who eat latkes with ketchup.

Who are you talking about specifically? The fatalistic Vikings fans, the super-casual Twins fans, the nonexistent Timberwolves fans, or the kindly-grandparent Gophers fans? The reaction to the Vikes cutting AP loose was ambivalent as hell as I recall.

Thank you for mentioning Crack-Up. My favorite album of the year.

Reverse vampires!

My favorite part of this is imagining the 8-bit video game based on Simon & Garfunkel. S&G: Bridge Over Troubled Waters, only on Nintendo.

Not exactly a lightweight. And yet his son’s a fucking dunce.

That poor old man looked like he was gonna collapse when he found out he lost the million. Another reason zucchini sucks.

If you’re taking write-in votes, I nominate US Bank Stadium, a bird abattoir paid for by cigarettes and gambling that is already falling apart.
