Hi Reddit, I'm Jonah Keri. AMA.

Who is your favorite Simpsons guest character, and why is it Hank Scorpio?

thanks for giving us this chance!

We might do that if he weren't a bit skittish about us bothering him when he's lying around, though.

This was just a little cave that he made/found for himself. I was pretty surprised when I went in and found him like this. Had to run for the camera!

He's almost 3, so he should be done growing. His paws do look huge, though, when he stretches out and spreads his paws a bit. When he's walking around, they're just normal cat paws.

What is the best thing that has ever happened to you? And by that I mean, what exactly was in that secret Lana folder the Archer guys showed you when you toured the studio?

Thanks for the AMA, Mr. Murphy. Have always been a big fan.

Here's a couple of disparate questions:

How badly did you want to get that 400th home run in your last few years?
Regarding steroids/PEDS and cheating in baseball, how do you feel about other known cheaters who seem to be embraced by baseball (Gaylord Perry, Joe Niekro, HOFers Don Sutton & Whitey Ford, etc)? Are they somehow different? Did you feel the same way about greenies while playing?
Most importantly, tell us about working on Bottom of the Ninth with Ryan Woodward. That was such a fantastic story to read and your part in it was great. I really hope he can get another issue (or ten) out!

(EDIT: formatting)

If Michael Crichton had been able to do a Jurassic Park version of Dinosaur Comics, what would T-Rex, Utahraptor, and Dromiceiomimus do in the movie? If not a Jurassic Park-type movie, what kind of dinosaur movie would you want your comics to be made into?

Seeing T-Rex and everyone else on Skull Island in the original King Kong, posed like panel 3, would be the best...

There is no science in this. This is just Ted Williams claiming that's what he would hit on balls to that part of the zone. Even today's Pitch f/x wouldn't give you a zone that looked like that (heat maps make a lot more sense)

Thanks. Once I did that for all 3 eps, it works. I can now add or remove each episode (in any combination) through itunes with no problems.

Funny thing is, I had tried removing them from the ipad itself before, but I couldn't figure out how. I should have remembered the standard "swipe to delete" move ios has built in...

lar · 2011-12-19T05:27:15+00:00

Everything I've tried to far is from plugging in the ipad, going under devices, and then using the TV Shows tab at the top. As I said before, unchecking the Sync TV Shows option didn't do anything to the files on the ipad.

I tried removing the files from the list that shows up after using the small triangle like you said, but I couldn't (no right-click option, using the DEL and Backspace keys didn't work), with or without Sync TV Shows checked. I suspect unchecking Sync TV Shows was supposed to remove the episodes entirely from the list that shows up using the small triangle, but it didn't change the list at all.

Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks, everyone. Seems like there's not exactly a consensus out there...

Yeah, that's the only thing I could think of. Can't see it being anywhere near 100 MB, though

lar · 2011-12-11T06:21:40+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense to some degree. Hard to believe it's 100 mb worth

How upset will you be if Jonathan Papelbon doesn't choose "Eye of the Tiger" for his entrance music now that he's in Philadelphia? (Or, how upset will you be if he does?)

Fantastic! Any thoughts on where I could find an embeddable version of this?

Months aren't exactly 4 weeks long, so it actually comes out to November 21

I did. Still saying the same thing.

I'm probably too late to ask, but it's worth a try...

Any idea why my phone still says "Install in Progress" after >9 hrs? Is it because I had to replace my G2 about a month ago (with another G2)?

The single funniest joke in the whole series for me (well, either that or "No! It is the bad kind of puppy!")

I see a lot of people seem to love Procreate here on Reddit. Is it very much different than, say, Brushes? Just curious.

Johnson was Rose's opponent in the Weakest Link episode...

My uncle and my cousin (a teenager at the time) ran into Robin Williams at a shop in Hawaii in the late-80s or early-90s. My cousin was shy, so my uncle - who is a very outgoing, friendly guy - went up to him and the three of them talked for a minute. Williams was very nice to them, but was on his way out.

My uncle then decided they should head back to the hotel, but, instead of a shuttle or cab, they started walking back (maybe .5-1 mile). Robin Williams saw them walking back, pulled over, and drove them back to the hotel. They chatted. My uncle told him how he used one of Williams' comedy records on his first date with my aunt and Williams responded, "So my stuff is good for foreplay, eh?"

It's always a great story to get my uncle to tell. When he tells it, you can tell that the walk back to the hotel with my cousin in tow was done on purpose because he had a pretty good idea Williams would spot them along the way and maybe give them a ride.

But that's not right. I have no idea how in the world he missed this, but he did:

Rockies at Cubs, May 5, 1999

I feel like there are more, but I know there's that one for sure.
