I'm pretty sure I learned who Karl Rove was from that show.

Mine also taught me to drive stick. There was no going back after that.

Yeah, who sorts spiciness levels lexicographically?

Hey, haven't had that in a while.

I'm still getting flashbacks of mobs trying to hamburgler our democracy.

I love it when my extremely obscure computer graphics research prepares me for internet discourse.

Oh shit, I did this and finally saw it. I thought PGH would have too much light pollution to make it out, but damn.
