Are there any shows about a slightly more abusive version of the Stanford Prison Experiment in the pipeline somewhere? I'd watch that.

It gives me some existential pause for about half a beat, then I think I about the kind of lifestyle that coconut vending is likely to sustain and, well, feel better.

Since the producers — especially in early episodes — can't seem to get away from face-palmingly reductive crap (oh Jeff, tell me about the collars, said no one), I feel it's acceptable at this point to say that I too am disappointed that one of the hot girls got voted out.

Maybe I just hang out with exceptionally dull people, but something like half of the cast this season seem like they can't actually exist in real life. At least they're an order of magnitude more interesting than last season.

I wonder what other things he impulsively eats and then immediately regrets.

So, I am painfully behind the times, having started binge watching the series a week or two ago (hey, better than the 5 years it took me to start Breaking Bad), but goddamn if that Prolethian ..err… wedding ceremony(?) wasn't the creepiest thing I've seen on TV in a nice long while.

I don't know if the AV Club has done one of these for John Prine, but they really should. He's a bucket list kind of artist for me, and I was lucky enough to see his show in Los Angeles a few months ago; smiled through the whole damn thing. The Conor Oberst co-headlining act…not as much.

No mention of the pipe crotch shot breaking Bob's fall from the damn? Geech and Cousin Merle? Bob's job to lead the hooting (shake it madam, capitol knockers)?

While I know of these things, I'm happy to know precious little else, and have mercifully never read any of it. These snippets are the first bits I've actually seen. I've decided that anyone trying to describe just how bad it all is has been woefully underselling it. Yeeeesh.

Ohmygodohmygodohmgod! I'm totally going to [try to] buy tickets to the Hollywood show. I've seen too many 80s bands that should have hung it up years ago, though, so god I hope they won't suck.

Yeah, both of them are the songs I was thinking of — I guess I forgot about one of them, but now I do remember not liking either their lousy AC/DC or Oasis ripoffs.

I hate that Jet song and always have. The intro is a total tease. "Sweet! Iggy Pop — wait a minute….aww crap."

I was still jumping around like an idiot after the Butler interception and completely missed Richard Sherman's Ralph Wiggum Moment. I first saw it online on Monday morning. It was like finding a Christmas present that someone forgot behind the tree.

Yeah, but the NFL made Kurt Warner deliver the trophy to the Patriots, which is delightfully cruel. "Sorry you didn't get into the Hall of Fame, Kurt. As a consolation, we're gonna have you walk the Lombardi down to the guys who beat you and derailed the whole middle of your career. You're welcome."

To John Teti: first, as others have said, thanks for making Block & Tackle a thing.

I feel like that's unfairly maligning actual shitty announcers.

I'm still excited about the game. Best. Super Bowl. Ever. And to think, my wife's doctor was going to induce labor that weekend and I would've had to watch it in a crappy hospital room. Fortunately, the little one had other ideas and busted out a few days early. Good job kid, you might be my new favorite.

Today's xkcd (alt text, especially) is particularly relevant. http://xkcd.com/1480/

Speaking only for myself, football's the only sport I have any real interest in, and I love watching the games and even enjoy some of the offseason stuff that's still relevant to what will happen on Sundays (I geek out on the Combine, and don't even know exactly why).

Don't you ruin Chris Pratt for me.
