OF COURSE!

The Derek Boyd is similar, but sneaks in a little bonus with the other hand.

I have found myself muttering the very same thing while departing many countries.

The link I clicked on suggested a reality more remarkable than what the details actually delivered! I feel so manipulated.

Also thirteen. Upvote if you're reading this in 2016!

For his talents I will forgive him even the coining of the word "humblebrag," and that is saying more than he could ever have known.

As a pastor, I find your choice—and yes, it is a choice—bizarre and unnatural. Those are clearly not apples, and God did not make them that color.

I saw Gelman perform live during the peak of that campaign. The MC in the little place introduced him as "Little Bit O' Luck," and Gelman gave him some smartass shit about it. Very funny set, too.

Threatening rape is, well, a threat, so I do agree with you there. It's not really a matter of political opinion, "reasonable" or otherwise, at all.

I certainly hope not. I've always figured that The A.V. Club comment sections have kept their civility based on who they tend to attract, not due to policing. It's not my call, of course, but I wouldn't want to think that someone was required to have political views that I consider respectable in order to share this…

Well, this got nasty quickly. I'll just mention that the photo, and the description to some extent, reminds me of the utterly charming hit Pakistani children's animated series Burka Avenger. Premiering not long after the assassination attempt on Malala Yousafzai (who remains a very violently controversial figure in…

SI was infamously brutal to David Steel—just about no one in politics seemed to think he quite deserved all he got from them—but the thing that really put that skit over the top was the end. Just after it takes you by surprise in managing to do something really creative and fresh while hitting the most beat-up…

Editorial cartoonists do it quite often (usually to the effect of what should be regarded as simple laziness), but it's not often that a satirical TV show eschews humor for an emotional moment. So this one really brought back memories of the last time I saw it happen, more than a quarter century ago. That one was also…

I think people figured since he's sitting on such a big treasure-trove of snappy little "unbridged" jokes that he'd been delivering himself with great panache on a famously intense work schedule for decades, he'd just pull one of them out for any occasion, and boom, a quip. But of course it doesn't necessarily work…

Oh, it's a lot clearer that way. Of course every country in Europe outside the USSR itself (plus the Baltics) is by now—long after the demise of the WP—already in NATO, except inside the former Yugoslavia and the ones that were neutral from square one. It would have had misleading implicatures to put it the other way.

Wasn't that a member of neither? It was Beijing-aligned after the Sino-Soviet split, then independent after the Sino-American detente. It was so implacably hostile to both blocs I think it was the only country—other than the similarly uniquely positioned postrevolutionary Iran—to boycott both Moscow and Los Angeles.…

What country is that?

Grumpy Cat or GTFO.

Some say the key to a well-written and -performed villain is when they evoke in you some semblance of sympathy, but I prefer my Spacey as completely depraved and over-the-top in his villainy, tempered only by the sheer moral disgust evoked in the audience for every other character around him as well in that revolting…

Good Lord, that was actually a good movie? I'll have to give it a shot. Chan seems like a cool dude who I really want to like, but none of his movies have seemed particularly interesting to me.
