On The Day Twitter Gave Birth to Bart Simpson

I think it's actually somewhat appropriate for Twitter to create another birthday of Bart's. Aside from actual truths(plural) from the show (which is, after all, what the entire world of Simpsons is, revolves around, and was made to be) I think it's appropriate for the world which the Simpsons was mirroring, imitating, and influencing all at once, to give a little something back to the show. And actually, the character of Bart was based on Matt. It's just an anagram for brat, since, I assume, he was the brat of his family.

On Lost's Josh Holloway to Guest Star in Community's Two-Part Season Finale

It's not going to be a paintball episode. It'll be some sort of western-themed picnic. If you watch the Intro to Political Science episode, at the bottom of the screen during one of Troy and Abed's political pundit segments, a few scrolling lines (most likely put it for the trivia-buffs/stoners) mention that "Dean Pelton says no more paintball this year!" and that he hints at some sort of western-themed picnic in its stead. And I'm pretty sure Dan Harmon loves LOST. He rarely makes a mention towards something he dislikes. And considering that they put that LOST joke in the end of one of the show's most emotional episode, AND considering that the second half of the joke was actually applauding LOST and criticizing its critics, I'm guessing Dan Harmon didn't cast Josh Halloway to settle some sort of rivalry with Bad Robot.
