I don't know what to say other than that I feel a great sense of gratitude to Gabe, Linsday, Kelly, and the videogum community at large. This site is genuinely something special, and I think the fact that so many of us are struggling to put our thoughts cleanly onto blog-paper highlights the ineffable, positive effect the site has had on our lives. I know this isn't the 'end' of videogum by any means, but its as worthy a time as any to show my appreciation, and I want Gabe, the videogum staff, and all the monsters in blogland to know that I think this place is super special and I'm truly thankful I happened to stumble across it when I did.
Gabe - thank you, sincerely. Never stop being the bitter, out-of-touch, werther's originals-toting 80 year pop-culture critic you were born to be!
May the blogs ever be in your favor.
While "It's impossible I'm a racist because [true fact you idiots didn't know about me]" is usually a pretty weak argument, I got to say that I'm swayed some by the biracial children aspect. Besides for the whole "willing to mate" with a member of the race in question, I can't imagine someone could hold onto even the jokey-malice I associate with making 'asian eyes' given that its literally the faces of her children she would be openly mocking. That said, its a fair point that Kate Gosselin has definitely made some choices before that haven't reflected all that well on the entire "very concerned for my kids emotional health and well-being" thing.
There’s apparently no way that I can embrace my intelligence, be on the cover of the Journal of Differential Geometry, and also be feminine and sexual, and know what a dress is.

This hasn't occurred to me until just now, but why hasn't anyone done a mashup of "I Like Big Butts" and Elliott Smith's "The Biggest Lie"? Seems like a match made in heaven.
No joke, a girl I dated in high school went on a date to one of these, and was super excited about how much fun it was going to be. She also met the last two guys she's been in serious relationships with at renaissance fairs.
I guess what I'm saying is: this is actually my girlfriend.

I cannot express how much sympathy I have for you right now Kelly. Why didn't I just swallow my pride and go for the drip!
Wait, what's the story here? Who is that guy? And while closer inspection has revealed that these two are just sitting in some seats, why was my first impression that they were in a bumper car? Is bumper cars an acceptable Hollywood anyone date? Asking for a friend.
In high school I was the captain of my school's Mathletes and I got into a fist fight with the captain of the Mathletes at our rival school. I guess what I'm saying is, competitive math tournaments can get pretty heated!
I do wonder if they is any good logic for why Mike wouldn't leave some guy of his to watch Walt for that hour he's gone. As it stands, its just seems like the most amateur move imaginable from a guy who has been established as "least amateur guy in the biz".
Right now I can think a few reasons:
1) All Mike's "guys" are in lockup/being tailed like him by the DEA
I don't buy this one, Mike has to know lots of random young dudes with guns he can trust
2) Mike knew Walt would try to pay them off for an absurd amount
Mike hires ppl who don't take bribes because they don't want Mike to shoot em. so Unless he really has no one, this is out of the question too.
3)Mike is a dum dum
The only option I see atm.
Thoughts?
I really appreciate the "show-not-tell" exposition they did here.
"Whoa, Jason Alexander sure is cool and confident when it comes to making coffee drinks!
Wait, whose this girl?
Oh no, CUPS HARD TO HOLD!!"
Th DirectTV + Viacom thing is actually not such boring news, as that is what is keeping me from watching Breaking Bad live for the next few weeks. I hope this means the AMC stuff will be back very immediately though, or I'm screwed for Sunday.
"And, when the couple — who has been together for three years — attended a friend’s wedding on June 23, they seemed more interested in what comes after marriage: the baby carriage."
Do they have a specific Pulitzer for Journalism and Poetry, or will we just have to award this guy the two separately?
