I loved that Wyclef album.

I don't know - I thought it was so over-stylized, an effect which wasn't helped by ‎Pilou Asbæk's campy performance.

Yes I meant captives not hostages. Sorry!

I will gladly sit through all of Dr. Lee's videos but had to cover my eyes during that scene.

i couldn't figure that out either. I assumed Yara and ellaria would be brought to cersei as hostages, but the staging of that entire final scene was shaky and blurry so I wasn't sure.

How would anyone know? That scene, despite obviously being expensive, was a blurry, shaky mess.

I saw pre-Fergie Black Eyed Peas open for No Doubt.

Being a somewhat hippiesh college student in the early-mid 00s, I think I saw Dave Matthews Band four or five times, but let's not count that. I've seen Stevie Wonder and Violent Femmes three times each and each of those are among my favorite concerts ever.

JEALOUS. Milk is straight up BEAUTIFUL out of drag.

So body shaming is wrong, but bitch shaming is ok?!?! Liberal Logic!

I choose to believe it was YaYa's little ritual of spiteful defiance

I had a very similar interpretation. That moment was his trying to avoid the fate his deceased mother essentially pre-ordained for him. (I always wondered if the mother's dark, crude wit was inspired by that of the real-life Sedaris matriarch.)

I always enjoyed Sedaris' fiction, though - Barrel Fever is just as compelling and hilarious as any of his personal essays and "Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol," written from the perspective of a snooty theatre critic reviewing elementary school plays, kills me - particularly the line about the 8 year old girl

Yeah, won't ever watch it because the plot synopsis is already buried deep in my nightmare vault.

Journey to the Center of Attention is my hands down favorite - it's hilarious of course, but with the added bonus of showcasing Bea Arthur's rich, lovely singing voice.

I think the prosecution overreached. They just didn't have the physical evidence to prove premeditated murder and yes, a jury is less likely to convict a pretty young white girl than a young black mother in similar circumstances or even a lying, cheating prick white bro (ala Scott Peterson, who was convicted of TWO

Why hasn't anyone been Courtney for Snatch Game?!

I don't think John B. was a Reilly-esque buffoon by any means, but both are somewhat segregated from their communities in part due to their the vast, esoteric brand of genius. In Reilly's case, his isolation also stemmed from his pompous arrogance, utter lack of self-awareness, and immaturity, whereas John B. didn't

Sometimes hearing John B and the other featured residents of Woodstock reminded me of sadder, real-life version of A Confedaracy of Dunces.

Meghan Trainor is extremely annoying, but essentially harmless. She's like one of those misquoted Marilyn Monroe memes that plague social media. "I may not be a size zero, but I'm still a terrible person whom you don't even deserve! Unless you put up with my endless shallow, bitchy bullshit and then I might
