Trees talk to each other at night. All fish are named either Lorna or Jack. Before your eyeballs fall out from watching too much TV, they get very loose. Tiny bears live in drain pipes. If you are very very quiet you can hear the clouds rub against the sky. The moon and the sun had a fight a long time ago. Everyone knows at least one secret...

This thing is RIDICULOUS.
It took about 15 questions to get Bill Murray.
Ha, totally stumped it with Christine Ebersole.
I stumped it with Patti Lupone. It guessed Barbra Streisand, which, to it’s credit, is close, but NO CIGAR! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?
WHAT. I thought of Milton Friedman; it guessed Robert Nozick...

Did you know that “America’s Suitehearts” was the first video I saw this year? It was. (It premiered on The N.)
Also, that Vistoso Bosses song is definitely one of my top 20 singles this decade.

Westley’s undying love for Buttercup seems incredibly romantic right up until you consider that she’s the basically the only woman in the nation of Florin who’s both pre-menopausal and not covered in filth.
One grows older and suspects an altogether richer and weightier story hovering behind Miracle Max and his wife — passion! politics! court intrigue! magic! corpses! a young Carol...

Well, the actual feeding part is is unverified. Anyway, all I can say is: a pug gotta do what a pug gotta do. I’ll totally adopt those man-eating pugs!
How right you were.

THE CHICKEN SHIRT
The chicken shirt has been covered before but for the finale of season five, no holds have been barred! Every member of the family dons this charming little number in a tour de force of poultry themed fashion frightfulness! The one-size-fits-all “easy fit” makes it easy for every member of the Conner clan to wear this communal chemise, and we are...

Yes, this is why it would be nice to find a way for the MTA to not be a state agency. Stupid Robert Moses!

I can’t stop watching this. Seeing the bullying parts all together like this completely change the tone of the character. Our darling Jack suddenly seems like a menace, a threat, a really bad guy who everyone would hate. Though the “misogynist” thing is weird — Jack is this mean and dismissive to a lot of people, and follows plenty of women around like a puppy...

Ever noticed the incredible speed at which discarded furniture disappears in Bushwick? A company called Blu Dot tested this phenomenon — and the appeal of their products — by placing shiny new $129 chairs on sidewalks throughout NYC. In Chinatown, it took over an hour before someone snatched it up. Bushwick? 10 seconds. We won for the fastest pick-up time,...

St. Vincent “Actor Out Of Work” It would be very easy for Annie Clark to just be a pretty girl in her album art and music videos. To a certain extent, she does that, but always with some degree of distance and unpleasant subtext. Terri Timely’s video for “Actor Out Of Work” takes Clark’s serene demeanor and icy perfection to a severe extreme, presenting her as some kind of unknowable...
