Amazingly, that is the second time this week I have seen a Gerardo vs Geraldo joke. Once we hit three jokes, I believe Gerardo is contractually obligated to release Mas Suave: Rico Suave2016.

Seriously. The crappy toy was the only reason to get Cracker Jacks. Screaming Yellow Zonkers was the way to go if you wanted it to taste good.

Same here. Gutted.

"Wha happen?" a la Fred Willard in A Mighty Wind tends to slip out a lot.

When I was involved in training people for a system upgrade, the most frequent thought in my brain was Garth Algar, dead-eyed, saying "We fear change."

Sometimes in times of mock frustration, "Someone keeps changing my marks! I HATE that!" Labyrinth is one of the few that I pretty much have completely committed to memory, so various bits and pieces come out at odd times.

Ha, this is sometimes my response to people asking if I need anything. "… this thermos…"

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." comes up a lot.

After a long rambling exposition…"…it's… it's called Two Brothers…"

"WHY? Be more constructive with your feedback!" comes up a lot at band practices.

I was in a production of Noises Off in high school. It was a lot of fun and the crew really outdid themselves with the revolving set. It's been a while since I've seen the film- I will have to revisit it.

I take no issue with the nomination itself, but I'm still trying to figure out how Keegan-Michael Key counts as merely a supporting actor on a program that bears his name, where he is always featured. Are all actors on sketch comedy shows considered supporting regardless of screen time?

Neverwhere might be my favorite as well. That or Stardust. I have read most of Gaiman's novels and the only one that didn't completely land for me was Anansi Boys and even that one wasn't bad- it might hit me differently on a re-read.

I'm about mid-way through Uprooted by Naomi Novik and am quite fond of it- it's a quick-paced, well-written fairy tale-esque story for adults. I'm on a roll- apparently my phase of being too distracted to finish the books I've started has passed! I should go back and finish the ones that fell victim to the wandering

"We can watch a movie and just watch it, or we can watch a movie and really think about what it's saying." Or in her case, she can NOT watch a movie and publish a rambling article criticizing it based on assumptions she made from looking at the poster.

Kimmy Schmidt's advice about getting through life in 10 second increments also seems worth noting here. I liked it because I've had stages where even "one day at a time" seemed daunting. Bump it up to 5 minutes or 15 minutes if 10 seconds requires too much focus. You can get through it and better things are waiting

Shortly before they went off the air and the station turned into sports talk radio or something like that, I flipped to Oldies 103 and was a bit confused to hear Guns n' Roses. I'll accept the 20 years= classic rock rule even if it feels awkward at times, but Gn'R as "Oldies" just doesn't compute for me.

I was so glad I was able to see the Queen + Paul Rodgers tour. It was amazing to get to hear those songs live (and breathe the same air as Brian May and Roger Taylor). They were completely respectful of Freddie and his legacy. I don't really understand the notion that it has been exploitative.

'39 may be my favorite Queen song and one of my favorite songs of all time. I am a huge Queen fan, so I adore the Freddie fronted stuff as well, but the Brian's fronted tracks are fantastic as well. Brian's voice has this mournful waver that is just perfect on songs like '39, Long Away, and Sail Away Sweet Sister.

Innuendo is patchy in places, but they are all individually really on point. It's more or less a living eulogy to Freddie, so they all threw everything they had into it and it is just so emotionally resonant. I'm even forgiving of Delilah because if a dying man wants to release a song about his cat, who are we to
