  1. 'Bye' comes from 'Goodbye' which comes from 'God be with ye.'

  3. Speaking of, one of my favorite comedy sketches of all-time: http://bit.ly/6hgHun. Bobby Bittman=One of my influences.
  4. Does Eugene Levy realize that he diminishes his legacy 35% every time he agrees to be in some shitty teen comedy? ("American Pie 1238")
  5. Americans don't really know why they hate Hugo Chavez. If you asked most people what they know about him it wouldn't be much, I imagine.

  14. np: Tortoise: "In Sarah, Mencken, Christ and Beethoven There Were Women and Men"
  15. RT @AdamSerwer: the right accuses jews of antisemitism and blacks of racism. And then they wonder why they can't get either to vote rep ...
  16. A lady who comes into my work said she is going to miss me because I'm the 'nicest young man I know.' TELL THAT TO MY EX-WIFE!
  17. @jackmctigue Ha, I forgot about The Grind. That show that kindled my life-long love affair with toning my abs and pecs to C&C Music Factory.
  18. @nightafternight I had a period where I thought "New Grass" held the key to the universe. A beautiful, haunting, mesmerizing song..

  20. I love that couples still have "Every Breath You Take" played at their weddings. The perfect place for a menacing, obsessive stalker song!
