How about a weekly "bitch about the NFL's broadcast rules" thread?

That's what intrigues and disturbs me about Wookieepedia. It's so ridiculously detailed it rivals the actual Wikipedia. Reading it sometimes makes me forget that the Star Wars universe isn't real.

Why do people dislike Fallon's game segments so much? I get that they're kinda dumb a lot of the time, but are they really worse than seven minute interviews filled with pre-planned anecdotes? I can see not bothering to watch them, but they seem to bring out a level of active hate in people that I don't really get.

I'm a little disappointed in this. I was expecting someone attempting to keep track of villains through the show's in-universe timeline. I wanted to see the glorious mess of lines that would have come out of that.

He's so mad he's ready to box someone over it.

I should have stopped after the episode where he rapped with Lin Manuel Miranda, but I needed to stick with the show until the bitter end, dammit.

Ironically, a dick cannon would be a popular attraction at the Gathering.

You may remember him from such films as Encino Man, Bio Dome and Gladys, the Groovy Mule!

I'd tell my kids that just like in the game, they have to walk everywhere, or buy a bike for 1 million dollars.

That exchange reads like it came straight out of a David Wain/Michael Showalter script.

I haven't seen the movie in at least 15 years, but I still think "You said your name was Kurt" every time I hear the phrase "I'm aware."

I did, but only because of Curtis Armstrong's appearances on Harmontown.

No, no. You're way off. A "geek" is someone who bites the heads off of live animals (usually chickens) at carnival sideshow. "Nerd" is a nonsense word made up by Dr. Seuss.

Was that really a thing? I remember it from that one episode of Undeclared but I never encountered it when I was in college.

I also remember a very loud comic book nerd screaming "Nick Fury is supposed to be white!" when I went to see Iron Man in the theater.

Yes, Ice. You're on the Internet. You're going to have to get used to that.

Writers and editors have been doing that for years, but we know that the proper spelling is "graf" if you want to be extra-jargony

If it was "dick" would they have bleeped it? He says it unbleeped in the same conversation. Unless they have to distinguish between literal references to anatomy and metaphorical name-calling, I'm guessing it was either "cock" or some term for semen.

I have, but only because I had a friend in college who was obsessed with his solo album and played it constantly.

The repeats of "Whoa!" over the credits in that episode make for one of the best fade-outs in TV history.
