Side note: every time I'm reminded of Oliver's age I'm shocked. He's been 40+ since the first time I saw him, and I don't know why.

I'm gonna say it: I thought The Daily Show with Jon Stewart with Jon Oliver was a funnier show. It reminded me more of The Colbert Report with its laughs per minute, a lot of it due to Oliver's more enthusiastic delivery. You could tell he was having a blast, while Stewart reins that in as much as possible.

Hey, you know my wife!

It's especially frustrating when it's my family. Overall, my parents are polite, but sometimes they cross my line for appropriate friendly behavior, and I get so agitated. I've learned not to try to address it though, because my father does NOT take kindly to being corrected by his children or anyone.

Every situation is different, and certainly the guy mouthing "Fucking Asshole" is over the line, but I have to say I don't think I'm on your side. I hate it, fucking want-to-punch-a-window-in hate it, when cars stop for me. That's making a huge assumption about my behavior as a pedestrian. Maybe I don't want to cross…

Empty stomach may not be the way. I sure as hell don't know the science behind it, and it could be purely situational, but I find I get plastered at least a little faster at dinner if I had a light lunch. If I'm empty, my body seems to go on lock down and resist even a buzz.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout last week. Which is good, because that's also what I MADE this weekend. Well, that's how I'm hoping it turns out.

"Weekend at Franzia's", man. Improvise!

I don't tend to mist up at traditionally sad things, but I am fairly susceptible to "awesome" things, used in the accurate "this is awe-inspiring" sense. So, in Two Towers, when Gandalf and the Rohirrim save the day at Helm's Deep; while at the same time Saruman sees his empire crumbling all around him, while at the sa…

I haven't encountered it or rewatched it yet, but the other day I was thinking about the Raggedy Anne and Andy movie. The one with the pirate. I remember that movie scaring the crap out of me, it was so strange and the art so creepy.

Not sure if you're joking or not, but after reading all the reviews of "Lovelace" I really did go download "Deep Throat", because I'd never seen it.

Can't STAND Dream Theater or really that whole wing of the prog mansion - which to my ears is just whacky power metal. And I HATE power metal.

@disqus_i6A9lSrnQJ:disqus I do consider Porcupine Tree prog. They're weird enough and incorporate a wide enough swath of styles and sounds to fit the prog bill to my liking.

Fucking Sleepers Awake. Like if Eddie Vedder fronted Coheed and Cambria.

Nah, I'm with you. "With a Vengeance" for lyfe!

I fap every time I see an object of nerd affection.

Mauro's "$24 Dollars in 24 Hours" was kind of dopey. And a rip off, you're right. But his main show, "Sandwich King," is still on the air. Something like 4 seasons so far, with a 5th to come.

It's a very different show ever year, and this one was probably its least successful. Originally Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson we're the judges of every challenge, including the final decision (along with the producers, of course), and there was a much sharper focus on defining the contestants' "culinary point of…
