    It is the fallout from the Toledo War with Ohio. Way back when Michigan was about to be admitted to the union, the border between Ohio and Michigan was not well defined, and there was a dispute between the states. Since you couldn't be admitting states with undefined borders, eventually the decision was to give the small strip of land near Toledo to Ohio, and as compensation, Michigan was given the UP. At the time, everyone thought the UP was worthless and so Michigan got the bad end of that deal, but then they realized that it was full of iron and copper.

    Those "All out of Love" one-liners were damn funny.  That sketch was so close to being cut, and ended up being a long-running, multi-season 10:1 sketch.  

    I think somebody posted the Neil Diamond by Will Ferrell bit on the old site.  It was also a 10:1 sketch IIRC and probably sounded insane at table read.  And I can't find it online either, but fuck it that didn't make me double over in laughter when he talks about killing a hitch-hiker just to feel human again.  I think it was Tim Meadows as the band leader and you cannot honestly tell if he's about to break/bust out laughing or is just ashamed of being in such a moronically-premised sketch.  But I fucking love that one.  

    Speaking of breaking.  "Quien es Mas Macho" will always stick out to me because Ricky Nelson, who had no business being on the shoe.  He was a washed up singer at that point and had no comedic chops.  And the ending with ICE coming onto the set is lazy.  But there are a few minutes where Murray and Nelson don't even use the cue cards.  They nail the whole sketch, dry style.  And mind you, in Spanish.  And nobody breaks despite the absurdity and shitty accents.  It always stuck out to me as a demonstration of the absurd without being that absurd.

    I hate Fox for calling it Big Noon. 

    Most of the country does NOT live in the Eastern Time Zone.

    Think the eastern time zone is around 48% of the US population

    Starting to warm up to these, didn’t like the helmet when I first saw it but when Cal dropped a picture with a regular hat with the H logo on it looked a ton better.

    The aggys need to re-read the reports on the bonfire collapse. I guarantee you no one read this report.

    "Though its individual components are complex, the central message is clear. The
    collapse was about physical failures driven by organizational failures, the origins
    of which span decades of administrations, faculty, and students. No single factor
    caused the collapse, just as no single change will ensure that a tragedy like this
    never happens again."

    And the ACC adds the Greenland Glaciers and the Indonesia Inuits to ensure they have all four ocean coasts covered, because reasons. 

    And then of course they can challenge the Klingons for interstellar domination.

    It's not the deep bench that it used to be but remember Jerry Seinfeld is still working and taking out young openers on the road with him. 

    Nick Kroll, Iliza Shelsinger, Dan Levy, the two women from Broad City, the incredible Mr. Gary Gulman, Ari Shaffir, et. al.  

    I used to wonder why there was this 'inside' joke on late night shows that Jews were the funny ones (I'm a quarter Jewish and a quarter funny).  But when I got older, I met a lot of Jewish writers and comics and realized that it wasn't a stereotype or an insult, it was a reality.  And there's running jokes as to why they've been funny from the Borsch Belt to the re-establishment of Israel to Mel Brooks to SNL.  Sorry Christians, they're just fucking funnier than the rest of us.  But there will absolutely be a huge gap left when folks like Mel Brooks and Larry David are gone.  They were the brilliant ties from the bygone era and the modern era.  But as has always been the case, some  new ones will pick up the mantle and carry the humor torch forward into the darkness.  But to your point---in our lifetime, maybe due to production platforms/show-runners or whatever, we will probably not live to see another universe as hilarious as Seinfeld/Curb.  Glad I was around to see all of it, glad to know so many funny Jewish people, glad they let us in on their twisted sense of humo
