Julia Roberts in My Best Friend's Wedding
Pure evil! Plus, the most evil thing she does involves doing that annoying movie thing where characters say out loud what they're typing in an e-mail.

I think it's hot there— did anyone check to see if they're thirsty?

He didn't die of drugs.

Like, paintings and stuff?

two that i can think of
- My brother and I have to watch Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas every year

I'm just really sad for Reno! 911
I was sure this would be the one place where it would get the end-of-the-decade respect it deserves, either on this list or the other.
C'mon, remember when that guy Kyle Overstreet came back to revenge them and they couldn't remember who he was? Or anything with Terry? Or when Dangle

In first grade, my best friend and I were eating lunch and she started laughing so hard she spit egg salad on my arm, and it sent me into a fit of gagging convulsions that made her laugh even harder. That was 26 years ago, and I have not gone near egg salad since. So, yeah, it is really gross.

Wait, when was the curtain pulled back on ZMF? I either missed that or forgot. Link?
I also want to work "This is a new slut, I can tell!" into my conversations today.

TWoS: You're right- this particular instance was not Kenneth being a bumpkin, but I was just saying that dialogue pattern is getting kinda stale to me. Whenever someone starts to identify with something he says, I always know what's coming next.

I agree that Leslie is the weak link, at least for now. S1, she was basically lady Michael Scott but not dumb, and this season, she's not that anymore, but I think they're still figuring out what she is.
The intern, Tom, Andy and Ron/Duke are the reason to watch, even though I originally tuned in for Halpert-gone-bad

I picked up a Christopher Cross cassette at a rest stop and only expected to listen to "Sailing," but I'll be darned if I didn't enjoy about the whole thing! A forgotten talent, that man.
I drive from NC to MD and back several times a year, and I have to listen to "American Water" once I get into VA.
And let me add

Very similar story here, but I had the awkward addition of having to present Sen. Dole a thing of NC pork barbecue and then shake his hand. Fun fact: The guy who gave me the tip about shaking Dole's left hand went on to give me the tip many more times after that— we dated for 2.5 years!
Let's see, whom else…
-I saw

Thank you. When I saw this, I thought "Robert Siegel? Why he sounds so proper and uptight, and Patton Oswalt seems loose and schlubby. Is this some sort of 'Even Newer Odd Couple'-type vehicle?"
Anyone hear when they were trying to get Robert Siegel to talk about that "Stanky Leg" song? Son of a bitch just would not do

Wasn't he Milly's cousin who made the fake IDs on F&G? That was a pretty good little cameo there.

Whatever, Hot in Herre is a fantastic song, even though it feels really stupid to spell "here" that way. Soul Decision's "Faded" might be a terrible song, but for some reason I think it's hilarious so i enjoy it that way.
Doesn't anybody else have those songs that are so horrible that you just have to listen and sing

I thought of some more! Thanks for mentioning BSS, because 7/4 Shoreline is one I forgot about, and also:

When I was little, I could not believe Mattress Discounters was allowed to get away with saying "make love on it", especially when in the same song they were saying "pray on it."
I grew up outside of Annapolis and am super annoyed the Johnson Lumber commercial is back in my brain.
Others I can't get out of there are

I kept a copy of this on my reference shelf in my old newsroom. It didn't get used a whole lot, I guess because we didn't have too many helmers getting ankled to stuff in our town. Still, it's a fun read.
