Yes, this was the series finale.  For the next couple months, tune in to CBS Monday nights at 8 for 30 minutes of static!

My wife and I seriously thought George was Pauly Shore.  I don't know who the actor is, but now I think of him as the poor man's Pauly Shore.  And that's just sad.

Springfield Elementary got the worst scores in the district (state?).  No matter how well Bart scored, he couldn't possibly have improved the school's score well enough for it to remain open.

No.  I haven't even had the yellow.  Just a bottle of green that I bought last Christmas and am nearly finished.

I love the Widow's Kiss.  I'll admit that it's partially because I like to brag about having the weird/expensive ingredients and drinking a cocktail that would make most people vomit with rage, but I also like the taste.  I've made it with green Chartreuse, and possibly without bitters.

Maybe she grew up in Southie and her parents moved to Concord later, like when she was in college.

My nerd friends and I came up with all kinds of stupid Monopoly house rules.

And you can play Race For the Galaxy on your computer, either against other people or against the surprisingly tough AI.  I played the game with real cards twice, but I play the computer version all the time.

You are absolutely correct that this was one of the worst episodes since "All the Little People".  It was also the best episode since "All the Little People".  It is, in fact, the only episode since "All the Little People".

She played a goose named Boobafina in a previous episode.

Linda's parents were in the first season, when Bob got stuck in the walls.  Bob's parents haven't appeared.  I think there was a mention of Bob's father also running a restaurant.

Chronic City made me angrier than any other book I've read.  I know I've read worse books, but I absolutely hated Chronic City.  Fortress of Solitude was great, but I'm never reading anything else by Jonathan Lethem again.

I call BS on those jinxes.  You can't ask someone a question and answer at the same time to intentionally jinx them, which both Marshall and Barney did.  It's not a jinx if you set it up.  The jinx must be organic!

I've never disagreed with a review as much as this one.  This was classic Always Sunny; I can't remember the last episode I enjoyed so much.

Violet liqueur goes in the Aviation, one of the all-time great cocktails. It doesn't add much flavor, but it makes the drink purple-blue like the sky.
