Well, yeah. That was my first MB cameo. I’m a nice guy, but I’ll be fanned if i was gonna give that up without a fallback
Score! I think I got took the caption contest a couple of weeks ago, but it felt like a hollow/asterisk victory at the time; partially because I was out of town and didn’t see it until Monday, but mostly because I knew I had less upvotes than lilbobbytables that week and had given up hope (caption contest is decided by most upvotes, right? Or is it like Editor’s Choice?). ANYWAY, I’m pretty excited. So thanks! And now that I have legitimately made the Monster’s Ball, I can officially apologize to lilbobbytables and acknowledge her much-deserved retroactive win from the Kardasian/SNL pic. Don’t spend it all in one place.
The good news is that at least she was wearing her Depends.
Oh man. And here I was, thinking Kelly was being histrionic about the whole “NEARLY FELL OUT OF HER HARNESS” angle because she’s just afraid of heights. Sorry for doubting. That was some Mission Impossible/Point Break mid-air rescue stuff. Oh well, we’ve all got to die sometime. Might as well be because we fell out of our harness while skydiving on our 80th birthday, right?
“Okay, class! Who here wants Gabe to suffer through another season of True Blood for our own enjoyment?”
Agreed. It is your total hatred of True Blood that makes the write ups so great.
I thought they called it eLorry
YESSS!! Technically this is 80′s, but I’ll allow it. And his name is Tim Cappelo. The “I Still Believe” scene is one of my favorites of all time. It’s right up there with the John Parr “Man in Motion” video from St. Elmo’s Fire
I would seriously watch a spinoff involving pretty much any of the supporting characters from Big Lebowski (e.g. Steve Buschemi, John Goodman, Julianne Moore), but if we’re sticking to tertiary characters, I think my top 5 would look like this:
1. Brandt (Phillip Seymour Hoffman)
2. Marty (Lebowski’s landlord)
3. Jesus (obviously)
4. Maude Lebowski’s giggling bald friend
5. The Nihilists
I’d pay monies to see an alternate Silence of the Lambs sequel/spinoff involving Miggs, called “Tossin’ One Off (in Heaven)”
Now that I’ve added Wilco to this debate and formally put in my case for the most downvotes of the week, I rest my case.
Basically, Confederacy of Dunces is my literary equivalent of Wilco. I feel like I should love them and place them among my most treasured cultural influences (based on the rave reviews from the relatively small sphere of people whose cultural tastes I respect/trust), but for whatever reason I’m just lukewarm to both.
I see the point you are trying to make, but I still disagree. I am not an expert on New Orleans by any means, but I grew up in Baton Rouge (which is about 45 minutes outside of New Orleans) and have spent a lot of time there over the years. Granted, I haven’t lived in Louisiana since I graduated high school (NBD) 12 years ago, but I still go back a few times a year and will always have a special place in my heart for New Orleans, which is one of the few truly unique cities in America. Sorry for the tangent, but the point is that I know New Orleans.
However, while I agree that a working knowledge of the city is necessary for a complete appreciation of the book (particularly the peculiar social mores in New Orleans and the way Toole’s dialog accurately captures the many various accents, which can be tough to grasp in written form if you’ve never heard it), I was still bored and generally underwhelmed. Maybe it was all the hyperbolic praise I heard about it (which led me to read it in the first place), and maybe I simply didn’t “get” its humor/brilliance (entirely possible), but for whatever reason it just didn’t resonate with me.
I’m just glad to hear that someone else found this book kind of “meh”. I know it’s almost universally loved (or at least people love to say they love it), but I read it 4-5 years ago and had a hell of a time trying to get through it. I think I have a pretty good sense of humor, or at the very least one capable of seeing how something is considered comically brilliant, but I just didn’t get it with Confederacy of Dunces.

Nailed it. I was traveling yesterday, so I’m late to the GoT party, but my favorite part of the episode (which had a lot of great parts) was the face Tyrion made to Bronn after hearing the correct enunciation of the Arch Maester’s name.
(So great that it inspired me to attempt to create my own GIF Let’s hope this works.)
Guys, these are all fine suggestions (where there suggestions?), but when considering dream commencement speakers I think there is only one correct answer here: Coach Eric Taylor. Not Kyle Chandler. Eric Taylor. And of course it would start off with “Let me tell you somethin’…”
Instead, I think we got the Assistant Ambassador to Mexico. FALLAR!
“Hey now!”

You keep using the word “Punk”. I do not think it means what you think it means.
No, this one needs to go straight to the top. I’m calling Randy Quaid.
Damn you. Well the premise was that Kristen Stewart thought Charlize Theron called her the biggest cunt she’s ever worked with (thus the double-bird treatment), but in my attempt to avoid actually saying the crass pun that everyone else either didn’t think of or (more likely) simply avoided, I ended up forcing it and missed the landing. So there you have it. The full anatomy of a failed joke. Now it’s only a matter of time before The Alliance of Magicians catches wind of this and kicks me out.
“Take it easy, Kristen. First of all, I was talking about Chris. Second, I said I’ve never worked with such ‘a gigantic Huntsman’ before.”
