Eastbound and Down is one of my favorite shows of all time. I know Danny McBride doesn’t have the greatest range as an actor, but in Kenny Powers he created a stupid, arrogant, regressive asshole, but injected him with enough pathos and vulnerability that you rooted for him, anyway.

The credit for his persona should really go to the guy who invented it:

I’ve lived in every major city in Ohio (go ahead, make your joke).

¡Miao miao!

It’s weird how Caillou grew up to become Brett Gardner.

Dec. 10, 1990. The Raiders came to the Silverdome for a Monday Night game. Bo and Barry each ran for 120+ yards and scored. Marcus Allen and Tim Brown also scored. So 4 Heisman Trophy winners scored in a single game. Also Willie Gault caught a 68-yard touchdown pass on the Raiders opening drive. The Raiders won 38-31.…

WENDIGO MOTHERFUCKIN’ ROBBED.

Baez gave it up a little too quickly, he could have sashayed down closer to home and bought Contreras enough time.

They were “go to this room, kill 1-3 waves of bad guys, go to the next room, rinse, repeat.” Sometimes you press a button. Does this actually change as the story progresses?

This song has been stuck in my head for like 30 years now.

This was my favorite tweet from postgame last night...

True enough, although if we’re going to claim that he’s the farcical version of a past US president, I’d put my money on Kennedy instead of Nixon.

Francesca’s not rich enough, bring back the Bob Kraft voice.

Even with the servile dermatologists and thrice-divorced yacht ghouls and buttery finance lordlings that crowd his social orbit and pay to belong to Trump’s clubs, there are still some latent traces of dirt under their fingernails—these people have to work to make the money to pay those dues, even if that work…

The irony is that his bottom-up style got him the Daily Double on the first question of the first round, so he could only max out at $1000. And Emma hit both DD in the 2nd round. That’s where James did most of his damage - he started the game blitzing the high-value questions and controlling the board until he found…
