I think I'll just re-watch the Drunk History re-enactment of the Bone Wars instead. "Einstein hasn't been invented yet, but you're no Einstein."

There were 4 episodes (titled The Return parts 1-4) on the Showtime add-on on Hulu. I only had time to watch the first two, though.

"Wacky and free-spirited" is not how you spell "severely dysfunctional, alcoholic, mentally ill child abusing hoarders".

I'm okay with that.

You know what they say about assumptions: they make a rapist of Julian Assange.

Oh my god Surrender, New York was horrendous. I gave up about 1/3 of the way in. I re-read The Alienist because I wondered the same thing, and nope, it's still pretty great. I wonder if Caleb Carr got kicked in the head by an angry mule?

I only object because as a resident of south Louisiana, I feel "poor" would have been more accurate than "black"; granted, there's a large overlap in that Venn diagram when it's in the deep south.

I've never seen it. I guess it's radical of me, but I don't like to watch disgusting things, so I don't watch disgusting things.

"Alfred Rosenfield"? Oy.

Reading Mo Hayder’s The Devil of Nanking, which I’m pretty sure was on my to-read list because of something I read about it here. I’m about halfway done; it’s pretty engrossing, but the female narrator (parts of the book are told from a different character’s perspective) kind of bugs me. She has this irritating habit…

Because divorce isn't allowed and premarital sex isn't allowed.

My mother and brother are both Food Network addicts, and there is much mocking of Giada whenever anyone uses an Italian cheese in our kitchen.

The part in The Cove where they herd, net, and stab the dolphins. I knew it was going to be hard to watch, but for a few seconds I literally thought I might vomit.

Yeah, no thanks. Listening to the Casefile podcast about the real crimes was bad enough.

Cohen’s usual shtick annoys me. I don’t think Borat “proved” anything about Americans other than that most of us—like most people, period—are friendly and polite people who are not inclined to scream WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU when a total stranger starts acting like a fucking weirdo but seems harmless.

Ahem, Sheryl Lee was also in the sadly one-season Kingpin, which was Aaron Spelling’s enjoyably bonkers take on The Sopranos but with Mexican cartels instead of boring New Jersey greaseballs.

I'm 42 and don't give a fart in a hurricane about David Spade, howbow dah. I'd be more excited to meet the rotting corpse of Chris Farley.

Can anyone tell me what happened in the last 5 minutes or so? My internet connection crapped out (stupid thunderstorms) when Oleg was talking to that guy in prison, right after he told him that his father was a minister.

Psssht, I love Pitch Black. And while it's obviously not a better movie than Crouching Tiger, I'd argue it's more fun to watch. Crouching Tiger is so sad.

I can only find the dildo in one of the pictures! Do dildos not look like I thought they did (comical rubber schlongs), or am I too innocent for this world?
