Darth Reagan took care of that.

But not enough of them that this explanation makes any sense. If "parsec" means a different unit of measurement in English than it does in long-time-ago-far-far-away speak, how come "Ewok" means "humiliatingly childish race of shambling teddy bears" no matter which language you use?

Whereas "Cannibal Resource" are two words that fit together quite well.

Seriously thought the headline said "penile superhero."

Yo, we be droppin' county acronyms, son!

Mmmmm, that's some tasty stuff right there! Thanks for the link. I love how much that ref obviously relishes the hand signals that go along with the ruling. After the instant replay review, you almost expect him to follow up the safety signal with a fist-thrust-leap into the air like a cheerleader.

Honestly, in my mind's eye, it was mainly Jets players falling over themselves in pursuit of this theoretical blocked kick, but either team would fit.

Can you give me a little more info about this? I'm kind of gobsmacked that this happened, and that I don't know about it.

I am not a fan of the sad chubby.

The legacy of "wide right" indirectly inspired a Vincent Gallo movie. I'd say Jets fans have nothing to complain about.

Oh man, yes. I love super bizarre situations that arise from combinations of rules and penalties and such. I practically have an orgasm whenever a defense scores a safety due to offensive holding in the defense's end zone.

I've been waiting for the possibility of a one-point final score in professional American football my entire life. I'm thrilled I could bring this finally-rectified former-injustice to your attention.

Making a safety on an extra point try results in one point. Quoting the latest NFL rules, Section 3, Article 2, part (c): "If the [point after touchdown] Try results in what would ordinarily be a safety against either team, one point is awarded to the opponent."

John, when will you finally go out on the limb that the NFL rules committee grew especially for you and predict a now-achievable final score of ONE POINT for a team?

That's the thing, his voice isn't SO terrible that it's a dealbreaker for me. Honestly, it's just that I can't hook into whatever vibration of genius the band as a whole is putting out there which everyone else seems to find so effortlessly. That's why they're my perfect example for this AV Q&A: I know they're

Radiohead should be right up my alley, since I have an affection for some pretty ostentatious, artsy-fartsy rock (Dirty Projectors, King Crimson, Explosions in the Sky, Marnie Stern). But all the accolades about Radiohead pushing rock music in some challenging, brave new directions just seems to not match up with my

Well, I'm saying I don't love either of them. I would, however, prefer either band to AIDS.

The more directly Yorke writes his lyrics, the more successful they feel to me. They've just developed into a band that does nothing for me, whereas their earlier albums sometimes struck a chord. And I'll admit that the opening one-two punch of OK Computer's "Airbag"/"Paranoid Android" is pretty special.

Yipes, what a terrible cover. Whenever the lead singer croaks "one more time!" toward the end, I always yell out "why??"

Oh god, just what we need. After a life that's gone on monotonously for way too long, "Story of My Life" would be a fitting, belaboring, unimpressively rote ending theme to my bio-flick.
