When I have to hold it, I think “I’m a camel. I’m a camel.” and that usually works. But I have to face it, “dromedary” is a cooler word. But I stick with “camel”.

I bought your album and repeatedly play it on my phono-graph with the enormous ivory carved horn. My husband is beyond vexation with your insidiously catchy ditties. There have been screams in the night. The neighbours alarmed. I can’t say any more.
I don’t think it’ scary, but it’s weird and interesting. Between WWII and the Korean War in the 50s, it seemed okay for only children or GIs to read comic books. They were considered light entertainment for soldiers doing Important War Things, and it also had the unpleasant connotations that soldiers were kid of…
Dorsey is famously just a cloak or a shroud that does not have human feelings. It will never happen, but if Trump were removed from Twitter it would be a benefit to our nation to be saved from his constant, grinding, nonstop mental abuse and lies and gaslighting every day.
We all need to remember how Joe Biden viciously raped Anita Biden. Oh wait, he didn’t, in reality Clarence Thomas talked dirty to her in the 80s about a pubic hair on a Coke can. We all remember how Joe Biden personally set her afire and pushed her out to sea on an ice floe, don’t we? No, because that never…
I love the glove struggle, and how at 1:44 he tosses something that knocks off an Angel’s fuzzy “halo” thing, and they just left that in. “We can’t afford to re-shoot it, man”. The whole thing is gloriously bizarre. Corey Feldman thinks people want to hear his MJ impression, especially MJ’s snarling, angry bits. …
Also, there was one episode where some guy held all the Ewing family women hostage, but the only one degraded was Sue Ellen - he forced her to wear her old beauty pageant swimsuit and sing the song that was her talent round performance.
Basically agree. I think a lot of people who voted for Trump because they thought Hillary was a stuffy bitch or something have a lot of buyer’s remorse as every day Trump shows himself to be utterly incompetent and unfit for office. A lot of them know it’s abnormal and he actually sucks. It’s something they really…
Embedded clip that’s the topic isn’t working here. Thanks, Kinja.
I was keen on studying French in high school when that song was new, and I learned that jongleur means juggler, so when I heard the song I imagined that Morris was singing about his juggler. Like he was a medieval king and had a juggler to amuse him. “My Jongleur”. Oh-ee-oh -ee-oh.
Dallas was really fun at its height circa 1980, and Cliff was a great agoniste to JR.
He really is just an animated undead corpse, isn’t he?
It’s hugely regrettable, but they were. They were underfunded, teachers were underpaid, in the late 70s there were issues with discipline. I think it’s tragic that public schools then were in such decay in NYC in the 70s. The whole public school system was weary and wrecked by the late 70s in NYC, it was…
I agree, that utterly sucked and targeted black people who consumed cocaine that way, as opposed to affluent white people who consumed cocaine another way. I have no defense for this, nor have I ever wanted to. Even when I was in my twenties I saw this was unfair. I wish I was in my twenties again. I’d do things…
I was not a homeowner in the 20th century, but I know of housing covenants and white flight and do know what they mean. They mean racist discrimination. And it was and is quite bad. Why do you presume I’m in favor of those social trends over the last 50 years or more? I’m not.
A. If white parents had no issues with black kids, explain the rock throwing in Boston and the all white private schools in Virginia.
It was over 4o years ago. The Carter administration. A long time ago. Yeah, you’re old, so am I. And busing was a well-meaning idea that was terrible in practice.
Oh wow, Santino’s impression of Tim still cracks me up. Thanks for the clip!
Thank you for relating this. When I heard that the great Paul Robeson sang this song, it was clear that some crucial context was being left out by the aggrieved.
Another thing about Romney that fucking bugs me- all these journalists now saying, “Romney was right about Russia, and Obama was evil and wrong to make fun of him!”. I remember during the 2012 debates, when Romney invoked the threat from Russia, he was speaking in a completely Cold War mentality, it was in his mind…
