Signage note from a car dork: many if not all of the license plates on cars in LA are the 80's California style.

Right? I remember seeing these glasses at my friends and they’d all have faded to white with just black outlines. No color at all. 

No, they were pretty thin - I find these at the flea market and always consider buying a set, but I know they’d break before I get them home. Amazingly I have an aunt with the muppet set and they’re still in regular use. 

Don’t remember that at all - I wonder if it was regional, like a test item? 

The thing I actually remember wasn’t a Happy Meal toy (we rarely got those, my folks would just get us a cheeseburger and fries), but the glasses from the Great Muppet Caper - they were the same size as a regular soft drink so if you ordered one they just served your pop in the glass with the standard lid and straw,…

Well yeah, it’s an economy car. You don’t buy a supermini because it’s sexy, you buy it because it’s practical. And I agree, the 50 and first generation Polo are very nice looking cars, especially for their class. Excellent choice!

I think Jason’s talking about family cars. The Scirocco is technically a hatchback but is really meant to be a sports coupe, in much the same way that the Porsche 928, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, and Honda CRX are also technically hatchbacks.

1.) I prefer the funkiness of the early version, but the photo of the later one has a whiff of Lancia Delta to it, another good looking hatch of the era (even in non-Integrale form)

I’ve never been to New York City but yes, my understanding Times Square is now mostly a tourist attraction, with family friendly stuff to do and see. Bear in mind, the whole neighborhood was considered to be one of the worst in the city for two or three decades. From the late postwar years till the building boom…

Now that I think of it, all of the ghosts are in their season one looks (except Bobby, who is bald again but has a mustache). Eileen is in the Candy clothes, Paul has long hair, Lori is brunette, etc. And part of me thinks that Vince is supposed to be wearing the same (or very similar) leather jacket to the one he…

Yep. Season one long haired Leon. His look changed by the last sequence in the (never changing) diner.

I loved Sock Roach’s first two albums. 

Dang, don’t know what I was thinking there, I go to RA a few times a year and know it’s about an hour from Milwaukee, depending on traffic and whatnot.  

I loved Washlet Snob’s first couple of albums but after the bass player left it all went downhill. Still, they kicked fuckin’ ass opening for Bush at the Aragon back in ‘95.

Road America’s not much better - it’s out in the middle of nowhere comparatively speaking, surrounded by small towns (the biggest cities nearby are Fon Du Lac and Sheboygan, and they’re both less than pop. 50K), and there aren’t all that many motels in the area much less actual hotels. I recall what, ten years ago or…

Those office pics reinforce the idea that Trump doesn’t actually know anything about anything. All that crap everywhere, blueprint rolls stacked in a corner, papers heaped up on the desk, lunch spread out on top of it all. It’s what a guy who thinks he’s busy thinks a busy guy’s office must look like. Whereas every…

It’s been a week or so but good grief yes. I liked Vinyl, as something really nice to look at (the scenery in a lot of it is gorgeous, but I am a sucker for a mid-century period piece) but the writing was atrocious. Vinyl, written like this, would still be on.

No, I don’t know why it’s not mentioned either. It’s pretty harsh, especially when Gideon is leaving and he’s hugging his brothers, and Jesse wants to go out there but he feels he can’t because he’s trying to hide his shit from Amber. 

I forget, is Levi the one who can’t toss his “We Did It!” coin in the swamp? Or was it Gregory who just drops it off the dock? Cause that seemed like a MacGuffin at the time. 

I legit that Eli was having a stroke or heart attack during that scene, because he kept holding his arm.
