Has consensus stabilized that Life of Brian is their best movie? Because it should; that movie's an absolute masterpiece even if it's not as quotable as Holy Grail.

I wouldn't say "vast majority," given, you know, that we just elected a man who wants to bring back unconstitutional policing methods.

Don't tell El-P what he shouldn't do.

Downvoted for being a Simpsons quote I don't recognize. I want comforting pap, not something appropriate to the conversation!

I do 1.5 ounces of Fernet to 8 ounces of ginger beer.

God, Ferguson was a treasure. His Wilford Brimley interview is a thing of absurd beauty.

Thanks for posting this! As both a drunk and a Pynchon fan, I approve wholeheartedly.

Oh man, a spambot on a Bleeding Edge post is basically perfect.

The bar for "you're just like Sheldon" is so incredibly low, too. I was working a temp job once and one of the women in the office made that comparison four days in. Literally knew nothing about my personal life and had close to zero interactions with me, but knew that I wore glasses and was usually reading a book in…

For real.

Leonard Cohen for about a month.

Oh, I was commenting on his general appearance and demeanor, not any aspect of his character. Not a metaphor; he just looks, sounds, and acts like a goblin.
