I think of all the British celebrities, I'd most want to talk politics with Cleese. Not because of affinity (though I'd have supported Brexit as well), but because of fascination. I didn't know a thing about his politics until his referendum endorsement, and I'd seen some bad speculation on that basis as to his…

(1) Like much of America, I've moved away from baseball and don't consider seeing other sports live worth the money, so I haven't seen a pro game since I was too young to buy beer. But don't they open the beer for you for consumption on the premises? How is there room for a pocket beer?

Mitch Hedburg was wise to leave the more poorly received extermination phase out of his infestation anecdote. (Though I bet Bill Hicks would have put one in.)

Lord Haw-Haw? I find your radio burlesques about the evacuation of Dunkirk to be little more terrorsome than these American revivalist gazettes, and far less amusing.

Bah, now you've made me feel bad about it! But it is good to know that he is OK, and is (from what I hear) generally so cool with his current station in pop culture memory that he will probably be reading these comments while he is recovering, and chuckling at them. Get better soon big guy!

Meh, a bit too clever—sounds like it's going for 80s but ends up more like "00s going for 80s." Smash Mouth, on the other hand, is so wholesomely, honestly stupid sounding that it can only be 90s. And that's the way I like it.

Why is everyone treating this incident with such flippancy? It ain't no joke!

Ah, I remember that bad acid. Boric, as it happened. When sweetcorn festivals go wrong, they really go wrong.

Stuck relying on Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. for our late-run Idol judging, that's where!

I would think In N Out's sauce would present a far easier opportunity.

I am very particular about my burgers and really don't care for McDonald's ones in the slightest myself; haven't had a "standard" one since the '90s. I seem to remember an Angus burger or some other premium product—it came in several varieties—they had a while back that was not awful. And, oddly enough, as a kid I…

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Red Bull!

Wendy's Frosties or GTFO

You just described a hamburger and bun, period. If that shit horrifies you, you are not a burger person; ain't nothing to do with McDonald's specifically. For most people, the real horrifying monstrosity would be attempting a burger without all of those things. It's been done; but really, really best not to bother.

Ah, Gawker schmawker. I miss them already, but what I really miss is the omnipresent sidebar heyday of Upworthy. I never really did guess what happened next when This Muslim Soldier met This Gay Puppy, but if it didn't melt my heart and restore my faith in humanity, I'd have had no soul.

"Alt right" is not really the right idea, especially as regards the racism, but you are correct in deducing it is probably not for you. Atheism has always been a mighty broad church, so to speak; and never more than in the present industrialized world, where atheism has taken over much of the demographic "real estate"…

Fuck, a good Squirrel Girl would be awesome at this point.

Now you're just confused. That was Linda Hamilton, loving widow of George since his life was tragically cut short by Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Or when George Clinton dissolved Parliament. I didn't even know the Constitution gave him that power.

Hmm, suspect orthography. The Ting Tings and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs tried to tread a hard line against them, but the Go-Go's managed to sneak them in the back.
