This is how "Letterkenny" starts.

It tells you everything you need to know about the show and also it is perfect.

Sometimes Alex doesn't laugh at my joke and I get flustered and then I pause and say, "I thought that was funny."

Whenever I say that, I'm totally doing Wayne from Letterkenny.

It's a big continent, Ian!

And I'm not even getting into New Zealand (my true love)!

That's a good case to make!

When I saw this video on 120 Minutes, I felt like I was getting a viewport into a very cool, special, and weird little world.

What a fascinating group of individuals.

"And an army surplus loner combed
The outskirts of parole.

But, it’s raining in Victoria,
So, that shit’s under control."

The Church was my favorite band for over a month in 1988.

This song in particular has aged exquisitely.

Ridiculously ahead of its time.

"I don't know where she's living.
All I got is a card.
A picture of her at the pyramids—
A knife held to her heart."

It takes shockingly little provocation to get me listening to Australian music for an hour.

A thread for myself as much as anyone else.
