when my mom died six years ago my sister did a bang up job of taking everything mom had that might be worth something, deciding that I could help myself to whatever was left over, aka "junk". What she didn't know is that most of what was left over were the very things I had given/made to mom for birthdays, mother's…

no one ever caught on that I refused to say the words "under God". If it was good enough for my parents without that phrase (both of whom graduated before 1953) then it's good enough for me.

if you're going to spend this much money why not actually do one of Baum's own sequels? I'd pay to see a well done animated version of Ozma of Oz, seriously. Journey Back to Oz just doesn't cut it.

I was going to say the same thing but you have the clip so, after you I insist.

you can get TONS of these for almost nothing at Goodwill and Value Village, especially right after Halloween. It's playtime dress-up palooza!

so they'd issue a retraction of the timeline fail, followed by "but if she HAD attended, she likely would have done X"

campus police are interested in one thing only: protecting the campus. That's how my ex boss got away with pulling a knife on his coworker and she was the one who lost her job after campus police a) failed to file a report that the real police could use to charge him with b) conveniently "lost" or "we never got that"…

"Remember the big Folk Music Scare of the 60's? That shit almost caught on!" is still an in-joke in my family. Funniest routine ever.

seeing it the second week it opened, I was ten years old, and the line to get in wound almost all the way around the single screen theater (the San Rafael theater, ten miles from Lucas Central); had to wait three whole showings before it was our turn. Totally totally worth it.

and Walley is British slang for moron. Yep.

I was a sub for one semester. Longest 5 months of my LIFE. I have nothing but respect for what teachers put up with today.

surely you CAN be serious :-)

back when dinosaurs ruled the earth (1970's) we assembled a whole Volkswagen bug indoors. Long before that movie (Simon Birch?) did it. Only we didn't do it in the gym, we did it in the principle's office. We had to put his desk on the car's roof, because the car took up almost all the floor space. For punishment he…

it is? Awesome! (fair warning though: the Geneva Convention specifies that I alert you that the movie's theme song is by Barry Manilow. ;-) )

white wedding dress: hand wash in Woolite and cold water in the bathtub. Worked like a frickin charm. The thing had seed beads everywhere and we didn't lose a one. Was able to resell it for almost as much as we paid new for it.

seriously, find it and see it. It's probably one of the funniest thing Chevy Chase ever did. Also the movie responsible for introducing me to Dudley Moore. And started me on a life long appreciation for Gilbert and Sullivan. Don't ask. Just watch.

and my favorite, Goldie Hawn's wacky neighbor with the pet boa constrictor in the movie "Foul Play"

Not a tall person with brown eyes? Sounds like Sydney Carton.

anyone else notice the round pedestal they're dancing on looks like the Frozen version of the tutorial Stations of Serenity from Kingdom Hearts games?

I'm pretty sure that's Alan Moore, not Jesus.
