Pace was dressing as Batman for Halloween a couple years ago. I’d thought about buying the obvious costume to surprise him but pre-made costumes are expensive these days and it felt like a lot of money to buy for a one-off surprise. At the same time, how many times to you get to be the sidekick to […]
Grantland has done a tournament-style bracket to allow users to pick the best SNL cast member of all-time. The voting is closed now but the ultimate winner is probably as uncontroversial as you could get with such a varied cast, storied history and iconic program. Who would my pick be? Maybe Mike Myers?

An entire hour and a half long Fred Eaglesmith concert, taped in Holland? Man, I love the Internet for so many reasons…it eliminates time, distance and provides access to stuff you’d never see otherwise.
