Here's hoping he actually meant Johnwayne Gacy.

Ah, the silent O... but enough about my sex life...

Joss Whedon?

The bar was full, so we ended up watching at a cafe... and honestly, probably for the best. I'd rather be disappointed full of morning coffee than morning beer. Still, one hell of a game!

(Because Vance killed the last pope, in case that was unclear.)

Honestly, this is pretty ungrateful, considering that this pope wouldn't have the job if it wasn't for JD Vance!

It was pretty arresting!

So you're telling me Kyle Lowry AND Chris Paul are retiring as Raptors?!

I get the impulse to want to see them ripped apart... but all those people alone on an island and having to survive by their wits might be even sweeter revenge.

...does anyone else feel that was the best halftime show in memory BECAUSE they couldn't understand (most of) the lyrics? That the visual and musical storytelling would probably have been diminished by more explanation?

Because "Toc" is cheap.

Was also thinking of ordering a pizza, but it ends with an ethnic vowel sound, so I'm going to stick with mayonnaise on toast.

Made me check, and yep...

And as the quoted post points out, it's not just where you are but where you're headed.

We really should've been allowed to keep at least one of Diane Keaton and Catherine O'Hara...

No one should have to be this strong, but I'm glad some people are. (For that matter, I'm glad some people aren't, but would be gladder if so many of those cowards weren't armed and given de facto immunity.)

(To someone actively stabbing me) "I'd ask you to stop, but I'm afraid that would give you justification to shoot me!"

...see how that sounds?

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Touche. Misremembering something he misunderstood.

My theory for this particular lie/insanity is that he's misremembering the plot of Chinatown.

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while.

Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

A reminder that the Melania movie was just a means to launder a bribe. Laughing at its poor box office would be missing the point.
