Thursday night is b intern Becky Quinn's favorite night of the week for plenty of reasons (hello, Thirsty Thursday!). NBC and its comedy lineup just make it that much better. Rather than taking her time like her roommates to get ready to go out, she would rather sit in front of my TV from 8-10 p.m. and chuckle to herself. Here she picks this week's LOL moments: "Community": I only have one thing to say about this episode - Chang is not only married to the leg of a mannequin and living in a storage closet, but he is now also the head of security at Greendale.

Antonio Martinez - aka Muhammad Hussein - was pretty sure he was being set up. A car bomb had been handed to him, and two volunteers he barely knew were suddenly on board with a jihadist plot to murder military personnel in Catonsville.

They crossed the finish line yesterday in all manner of celebration. One runner did a cartwheel; another, a Michael Jackson moonwalk. One man did a Ray Lewis dance.
