Husband Chris doesn't appear all day. Seems like he could have picked up at least 20-25% of her workload by handling the flax-oil spooning.

How did I miss this review the first time around? The last line is amazing. So is the terrifying first paragraph. ALSO THE MIDDLE IS GOOD.

Maybe when they hired her they told her, "Well, we did let Gabe take that one week off that one time, so you can do it too, uh, in the future..." and now she's calling in the chit. CHIT. I said chit, Roker be damned!

Gary, I am fine with you getting all the credit if you pull this off.

This is just really unbelievable. I'm still in the denial state. I'll be honest, I fully expect by Wednesday to hear the kids have saved the community center with a dance show.

It took me 4+ years to get Editor's Choice. Thank God "Withholding Gabe" finally left or I'd probably still be in your second-rate boat.

Yeah, right? If Spinmedia doesn't want it anymore, what do they care if a ragtag bunch of outliers wants it?

Agreed. There's never been another blog comment section that made me want to fly to Chicago for 3 days.

I was discussing with a coworker what is the worst movie of all time, and I proposed Bicentennial Man. Then I googled it to see what professional reviewers had said, and in the results I saw: THE HUNT FOR THE WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME: BICENTENNIAL MAN. So I fell in love. It took a couple days to realize how much the commenters were a part of the show, and then a couple weeks to get up the fluoride to join in, because everyone was so clever. I still remember the exact commenter move that made me go, "Oh, the people here are very different" -- someone posted a harmless typo and then replied to themselves to correct it. In the dim wilderness of 2008, or whatever it was, this was unheard of. It was like the opposite of 4Chan. -4Chan? And it is still fairly unique. This place is a dang oasis of smart and hilarious.

Scott! Hello. I'd just like to note w/r/t "if videogum cannot continue" -- there darn well better be no intention of ever taking it down. Even if never updated and no longer accepting posts, there is so much comedy and brilliance here that it should remain up and visitable for years to come as a sort of museum. I would definitely skate in and read old posts and threads from time to time, and if I ever have kids, why, when they are old enough I would tell them "Let me show you what your dad did when he was your age (58)." I genuinely believe this site is unique. It should be preserved, even if not active. Thanks.

Maybe you don't know exaaactly what all the laws are, but it seems likely you'd guess there's one against throwing a baby in a dumpster.

What is with people abandoning babies in dumpsters?? Ladies, bring your embarrassing mistake-babies somewhere less murdery! Like to a baby dealer who will give you sweet hot cash! Or put them on a childless rich couple's doorstep with a note that says "Here." Literally so many ideas. I guess keep abandoning your snakes in dumpsters, though. That seems best. But tie the bag VERY tight and be sure to Sharpie "NOT A BABY. SNAKES" on it.

Did 1840s artists buy canvas and paint, and carry these items laboriously from one location to another -- sometimes miles away? Did they spend hours rendering scenes in meticulous detail --- the likes of which it would take a modern camera to mimic? Or were aliens involved? Find out the answers in my new ebook, Colorwheel From The Stars: Who Really Painted The 1840s Classics, And Their Message Of Healing.

WHY is this? A cheeseburger is literally the easiest thing to find in America. Easier than toilet paper, easier than clean water. We do not need canned ones for those occasions when we can't find real ones, because those occasions don't exist.

Artdork, I was just about to say this. THANK GOD I HIT REFRESH OR I MIGHT HAVE DARKOED. Also, that list of shoulda-wons is seriously trolling the Oscars. Galaxy Quest, Monsoon Wedding, and (500) Days of Summer all should have got Best Picture? Neat!

I barely paid attention all week you guys. I was feeling super sorry for myself because the whole week was occupied with being in pain and getting emergency surgery. AND IT WASN'T EVEN A BIG DEAL, IT WAS LIKE AN OUTPATIENT THING AND NOW MY TASK IS MAINLY TO EAT LOTS OF MOTRIN.* It just turns out I have an embarrassingly low threshold for inconvenience. But thanks to Top Comments, I feel caught up. Ashleigh's new job which led to Fatima's catastrophic dating life which led to facetaco's view of potlucks as a Prisoner's Dilemma which made me remember fondly the super-competitive dinners I used to have with friends 5 years ago -- we called it Wine Club and it was the best -- I'm in a decent mood now. Excellent. Also in reference to the Jennifer Lawrence manic dancing/cleaning gif posted above -- I saw that last weekend and when the end credits rolled my friend, who is a big fan of the Hunger Games movies, turned to me and exclaimed, "Wait! Jennifer Lawrence was in this??" So I guess she's very good at acting/wig wearing, you guys. *And no alcohol for 10 days. That really, really hurts.
