I sincerely retract anything snarky I've ever said about your recaps, Brian, because this was genius. I want to print this out, frame this, gift wrap it and put it under Ryan Murphy's tree (which probably has a Downs-syndrome angel topper).
BRILLIANT. One other question: why are the Irish kid and Blaine so initially excited to see Sam when he walks in the door? They've never met him before, right? And how does the IRISH KID know -- and apparently enjoy?-- the words to "Red Solo Cup"?

But it's Wednesday, so yesterday would have been Tuesday, not Monday...?
If anyone had any doubts about Gawker jumping the shark recently, let this listicle on bathroom behavior at work, apropos of nothing newsworthy or particularly relevant, be conclusive evidence.
Oh, Nora Dunn? She's tending to her farm in Tennessee and teaching a local flash-mob workshop in Chattanooga, though still recovering from that unfortunate incident with the meth-addled crocodile and the missing ransom money -- but hey, it's just a leg and she's still alive and kicking (well, with that one leg anyway) and laughing the face of the "SNL Curse"!
Exactly. Thank you.
Oh God, this is rich. This from a website that uses every opportunity to propagate some clichéd chestnut about how L.A. is a traffic-ridden hellscape devoid of culture (we can assure you, it's not, but feel free to continue to think that) but refuses to consider the perspective that maybe New York is just the most self-absorbed city on Earth. Anyway, point is: you're obviously rattled-- because now that you realize even the East Coast is earthquake prone, suddenly the shitty weather and proximity to New Jersey don't have the advantage of letting you think "at least we don't have earthquakes." Plus, you have hurricanes too! So yeah, given that NO ONE was injured and there was VERY LITTLE property damage, I think we Californians can have a hearty laugh at your expense.
Oh, Richard, dear, your Massachusetts is showing. The only people who love Massachusetts are from there. The general consensus on Boston from non-Bostonians is that it's racist, classist, provincial, that the drivers are among the worst in the nation, that the weather is generally dreadful most of the year, that the bars close up early and that it's populated with Massholes. This is a state that elected Mitt Romney and Scott Brown in spite of its supposed liberal leanings, and plays host to Andrew Sullivan in Provincetown every summer (yuck, Andrew Sullivan). Soooo... yeah, really not sure how it ranks better than Hawaii or California in this regard. But good to see your hometown pride! (And why isn't Rhode Island #48?)
Seriously, it's 2011. Have you ever heard of keeping your own name? It's a thing a lot of women who have dignity, individuality and no particular desire to succumb to outdated patriarchy are doing lately.
It's called "keeping your last name," and it's, you know, sort of normal now. ESPECIALLY when taking your husband's last name would result in an absurdity. Is Lauren Lauren doing this as some sort of Bush family rebuff of feminism...? Will the GOP cut off ties if she keeps her maiden name?
When I think of the phrase "this is actually happening," I think of Mia Farrow screaming that in horror at the end of Rosemary's Baby. Which is apropos, but having a demon-child is still a little less frightening than this wedding.
To be fair to geography, McLean straddles the Beltway and Newt's house is technically "inside the Beltway"-- but only by one block. (His house is actually very close to two expressways, which is a little declasse, isn't it? But so is a $500K line of credit at Tiffany & Co.)

Eh, I saw him once pre-"Big Bang" with his arm around a boy stumbling between clubs on Santa Monica Boulevard. He's as straight as Jim Parsons... which is to say, not at all. "The Big Bang Theory" is totally the "Frasier" of our decade-- a cast studded with gay stage actors.
Glass houses, Brian. But at least he didn't resort to mindless listicles for 50% of his quota.
Brian, write in your own style, please. Reading you imitating Richard's style is a little like a "Life & Style" writer trying her hand at "nailing" Maya Angelou's voice. It's just sort of sad and more than a little ambitious.
Jacques loves New York and he loves LuAnn, and apparently anything else that was sold by a desperate Indian tribe to European aristrocracy for $24 worth of turquoise beads.
Fortunately there aren't any redeyes into National Airport.
Brian, Fresno and Bakersfield aren't suburbs? At all? They are metropolitan areas in and of themselves, anchoring opposite ends of California's Central Valley, both several hours from either L.A. or San Francisco. For what it's worth, the geography of the Central Valley, coupled with mass (and not environmentally-friendly) agribusiness and a car culture, contributes to the shitty air quality there.
So did you take the day off of work* to go to whatever Glenn Beck rally was nearest your rat-shit cheeseburg, or did you complete your shift at the Asshole Factory so you could dutifully provide your state with the assholery it so richly deserves? *This is a huge assumption that I am making. More likely, you are retired, in which case you spend your days wheeling around your double-wide in your fat-person-scooter yelling "Nobama!" at your Fox News.
Ugh, Brian, not to expect methodology from you, but where are you pulling "average temperature" from? In LA and Miami those are the figures for the average annual temperature (averaging the highs and lows), but your Honolulu and Mexico City figures look like average daily high temperature figures, and your Dubai figure was clearly pulled out of your ass, where most of your posts come from. At least fact-check your pointless listicles before you post them.
Jeez, the L.A. hate on Gawker this week is verging on ridiculous (I guess the colder it is in New York, the more likely it is that the mean-girl jealousy takes over among Gotham queens). There are two Real Housewives franchises within a 15-mile radius of Times Square, as well (plus "The A-List") and may I add that New York now has Kardashians, in addition to any number of Trumps, plus a huge population of Eurotrash that is non-existent in Los Angeles. Smog was a big deal in the 1950's and 1960's but is really a non-issue today (and if you live by the beach, the air quality is always sublime). Traffic is only an issue if you're stupid enough to live 30 miles from your workplace and commute on a freeway; otherwise, it's fine and a much better alternative to a crowded subway car full of urine-soaked crazies.
But if the hypothermia-fueled hate is enough to keep a few more New Yorkers from tarnishing our soil, whining about the lack of good bagels and pizza and generally not letting anybody forget they're from New York City (seriously -- every other vanity plate on the road is some variation on "NY2LA", "EX-NYER" or "NU YAWKER"), well, then keep it coming. We enjoy our lives just fine here as is.
