I've always been genuinely curious to why Disqus is so universally despised here. I've never personally had any problems with it. I only started commenting here a couple years back. Could you (or anyone) possibly enlighten me?

In other words, fucking garbage.

I get whatever hypothetical financial incentive, but do the AVC powers that be not see what is almost certainly the biggest incentive to come to the site in the first place? It's like switching to Facebook. Almost the whole point of this place is having a creative comment section who converse in a (mostly) intelligent…

I have maybe one single memory of 'Cosby' the CBS show. His granddaughter (?) attends a high school prom wherein the punch is spiked, and the third act is Cosby explaining to her in such earnest that those people "are not your friends". Interesting.

My youngest brother, who was maybe 11 at the time, was a fan of Legolas from Lord of the Rings wanted a toy bow and arrow set for Christmas. My parents were blanket shopping, and offered to pick it up for me, and I'd pay them back. They couldn't find one, so instead got him a Friends trivia game.

This is a better production - I think - but Curb Your Enthusiasm is a sprint rather than a marathon for that reason.

Is that any better on re-watch? I'm trying to improve on my experience of 'Jon Stewart has a weird mushroom cut and gets beheaded.'

The lines aren't that bad. They're like theme park ride lines, if you got to drink beer and socialize with people while in them.

One of my main memories of Bonnaroo 2013 was not just the Paul McCartney concert, but how well and self-organized the crowd was. There were 80-year-old ladies in wheelchairs being pushed to the front, and the crowd had created avenues of sorts for people to travel through it, almost through to the very front. I also…

I was at that Saget show as well. I was one of the dumbasses who didn't get that that was John Stamos at first. I wasn't on drugs or anything, just drinking and likely dehydrated. I remember enjoying the show more than I thought I would, and that he kept saying to one of the guys in the front row, "It's okay, I'm your…

Confused as well. The pork story was in the show.

That's unfortunate. For what it's worth, the rest of the country did/does parse the regular fan base from the rioters (as well as the large population that helped clean up afterward), as well as the people who genuinely deserve shit for that from the people who maybe made a comparatively innocent 'selfie' sort of dumb…

Apparently it was Tortorella (why is he still employed?) who drove Luongo out of town, which, to me, is akin to the Jays losing Encarnacion. Talent is talent, but something to be said for identity and heart.

David Wells once referenced Jays fans as "the most boring fans in baseball". In the time since, the upper deck has been referred to by a local sports columnist as "the nightly breakdown of civilization", complete with empty pizza boxes thrown on the fans below. To the city's credit, that beer thrown at the Baltimore…

Hey, we Leafs fans only just got over a) that infamous Game 7 collapse against Boston and b) the subsequent swan dive from 2nd in the conference to the jagged side of a rocky cliff in the waning months of the season. I like the Canucks, and sincere best of luck in your rebuilding. It ain't fun.

The music near the end got to me in the third one. I saw it with my girlfriend when I was 18 or so, and standing under the gigantic Cineplex lights overhead with that theme in my head - just about to leave for college - remains a good memory.

My only softening toward Jar Jar was how gracefully Ahmed Best took the ten years of criticism for it (even though next to nothing of that was likely on him).

In their defense, it's coarse and it gets everywhere.

It's funny that I got it backwards as well. The 'No (whatever colour) M&M's' story I always wrongfully attributed to The Beatles, so it had me thinking it was considerably more dickish to request *just* one colour of M&M. That is an interesting story, though.

This is somewhat unrelated, but in Toronto Blue Jays land, it's very common to see people wearing t-shirts saying "I (Heart) BJ's". While I somewhat doubt that it's official branding, the league or team has shown no discouragement from fans wearing them prominently, and it does feature the logo, which (I believe)…
