Somewhat relatedly, I once had a Smirnov Ice that I swear tasted like nerds dissolved in rubbing alcohol. (I was torn, since I like nerds, but don’t care for rubbing alcohol.)

They lied to me! I diligently ate nothing but enormous amounts of Chinese, Indian, and diner take out for years, supplemented with candy and poptarts (for vitamins), yet am neither slender nor radiant!

“Sometimes they order Chinese from that pancake place” is a wonderful, wonderful sentence.

It was probably for the best they didn’t show this. It contains too many clues revealing that she is a reptile person from space. Better to play the strong and experienced change-maker angle. But someday, when we’ve purged this bigotry from our country, we can tell our hatchlings that they - yes, they - can grow up to…

Thanks for the reminder. I know, rationally, that this is all very early days and that probably the polling doesn’t even start to matter until at least a month after the conventions, but it’s still so upsetting. If candy wasn’t two-for-one at the drug store by my office, I don’t know what I’d do.

At the risk of being “that person,” I’m not 100% sure that this sentence makes any sense: “The episode many will remember . . . saw Damon failing to comprehend Hollywood’s crippling diversity, to the point of ignorance.” The diversity of Hollywood is crippling? His failure to comprehend that diversity is crippling…

It is absolutely bananas that fivethirtyeight.com shows the election as basically a toss-up based on polling thus far. We’re basically a coin flip away from a Trump presidency, despite literally every word that’s come out of his mouth.

And he’s super defensive about his height!http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2…

These photos are fantastic. Being on the make, Meatpacking-District-style, looks exhausting. You have to go out at night?! But I’m sleepy at, like, nine-thirty! And so’s my wife! How will we ever hook up with cool singles?

I’m sorry to hear about your troubles. If it is any consolation, I myself have gotten dramatically older and comically fatter during the eight-year Obama regime.

Although judges have considerable discretion to manage their courtrooms as they see fit, that authority does not, in fact, override the federal constitution. Nor (if they’re state court judges) does their authority override the constitution and statutes of their states. That’s why, to pick just a few of many examples,…

On the upside, I guess it’s good that so many men are learning to express themselves emotionally? (Although, as is often the case, every emotion is expressed as anger.)

In many ways it is not. (In most significant ways, however, it is.)

It worked for me!

Then that shows what I know.

I have a great pitch for a meaningful match-making show called Fart Box. A woman lives in a house with twenty men. Every day, the men are fed a new large meal, then she spends two hours with each man the Fantasy Suite — an airtight room containing a couch, a TV, and a DVR full of The Good Wife episodes. At the end of…

Oh, I don’t take any of this personally; one of the many great benefits to being an attorney is that I’m totally dead inside. Also, that is one of the great suits of cinema and should be in the Smithsonian if it’s not already.

I had hitherto lived a a long, happy life not knowing what kind of dick Ashton Kutcher has. But that life is over now.

It’s got tons of inaccuracies, but Vinny’s cross-examinations are often shown to trial advocacy classes, since they’re pretty great.

I agree that [ETA: not] every political expression is treated equally — as I mentioned to someone else, allowing someone to wear a flag pin in the courtroom doesn’t mean that you have to allow someone else to burn a flag in the courtroom. Of course, the court has the authority to prohibit political speech when it is…
