Of course Graham is being disingenuous—he's a politician, after all, and I'm not sure if he would even know if he were telling the truth—but it is kind of fun to hear southerners colorfully insult loathsome people.

As a way to skirt around PA's weirdly restrictive alcohol laws, the few grocery stores that sell beer and wine often allow you to consume it on-premesis, since it's sold in the deli.

I knew, but it seems like a weird place to have a beer with your cheery kinda-healthy fast food.

I've been going with "butter-sculpture of McCarthy".

Humanity responds "No thanks."

The problem with hipster-shaming is that you have to keep up-to-date on your references. Radiohead was huge when MTV still showed mostly videos, and LCD Soundsystem were making jokes about how they/he were already out of touch 10 years ago.

I tried that on an early date night with the kid's mother, and it was shut down shortly after the rabbit hole.

I thought Return to Oz was great when I saw it as a college student. I'm sure seeing as a kid would have left some Wheeler-sized scars.

Right, forgot about the kissing, and the weirdly out-of-place line about "perfect breasts". Might hold off for a few years.

Will it ever stop? Yes, yes it will. At season two.

And yet, no airing of Cool as Ice? How will we know who to drop and who to get with?

I wonder whether The Princess Bride is ok to show to a five-year-old.

Wait, I'm confused. They clearly entreated God to save the queen, and lest it come off as facetious, they confirmed it up with a "We mean it, man".

To be fair, sometimes she also sits in judgement of Russia from her porch.

Yeah, I was thinking about the prose itself rather than the ideas. But the strong outpouring of support here makes me think maybe I should try again.

Whew, I'm glad she finally has a chance to sit in judgement of others.

Ok, so some people say that HP Lovecraft was an imaginative genius, and some people say that he was shockingly racist even by 19th century standards, but I think we can all agree that he's an awful writer.

Nope.

I get it mixed up with Altered States, but probably because I watched them around the same time and under similar circumstances.

Oh, it's definitely going to. I think part of it is education. Nobody likely thinks "tranny" is a nice word, but I don't think most people understand just how bad it hurts people.
