[smashcut to a high school drama department frantically trying to sanitize basically all of Hercules Mulligan's lines]

I really, really can't wait to hear his music for "Moana," the forthcoming Polynesian Disney princess movie. I hope it clinches his EGOT.

Just the gauntlet it runs from the contemplative slowness of "History Has Its Eyes On You" immediately before to the quiet opening of "Yorktown" to THAT and then into the slow, spoken-word portion and then ending with a similar tempo and tone to Mulligan's verse is just… GOD.

My favorite thing about Hamilton is probably how ridiculously layered the lyrics are. It blew my mind when I realized in the opening number, "We fought with him" is both Jefferson and Madison saying "we fought him" and Lafayette and Mulligan saying "we fought alongside him."

Cautiously optimistic given how committed Miranda seems to be to bringing it to people outside the casual-Broadway-goer demographic, i.e. arranging field trips for public school kids and the like.

I've spent what I'm sure is the equivalent of a week poring over Genius' annotations for the lyrics. I can't get over something being so textually rich it contains historical references, hip-hop references and musical theater references in equal measure.

Heyyyyy and if ya don't know, now ya know.

It's really close but I'm going with "My Shot," not just because it's a great song but because of its ability to make literally anything you have to do seem achievable. I'm in the process of trying to get a novel published and I've been listening to it basically on a loop.

Floyd's stillness is terrifying.

Funny games, chasing the clouds away.

What was the one with the awful miserly funeral director taking in his nephew and ending up murdering him and then hacking off his feet so he didn't have to spring for a new casket?

I was just thinking of the episode with Buscemi and Daltrey as my favorite example of how delightfully random the casting was.

But if not I can certainly see why he'd be put-upon.

I loved the Freaks parody from two years ago.
"One of us! Gooble-goo!"
"Ugh, company parties always get so weird."

Keeping your django chained during athletic activities is a must. Ask your coach which athletic support is right for you!

If you really want to cringe look up his reaction to Bruce Springsteen's song about the killing of Amadou Diallo.

He'd be that little bald Irish guy in Gangs of New York who hates black people so much he runs with the anti-immigrant gang who all openly despise him.

Justified is very much about Raylan's cowboy-ness having consequences, though, and of that cowboy-ness being a vestige of a thuggishness he theoretically joined the marshals and left Harlan to temper.

"You're not wrong, Walter, they're just a—-holes."

What'd Jesus say to the Teamsters?
"Don't move 'til I get back."
