I do not like this Star Destroyer!
I do not like it in the foyer!

Depends on what that blue milk was spiked with.

The Consensual Agreement Awakens

Ahem. It's "who's scruffy looking." *Pushes up thick-rimmed glasses with forefinger, walks away.*

Band name: Judicious Genital Placement. Rolls right off the tongue.

Exactly. In real life, Margot Robbie doesn't take baths.

Dealing with my dad's funeral has understandably upended any "normal" plans. As it is, "What a Wonderful World", "Danny Boy", and Holst's "Jupiter" have been permanently changed/ruined for me. Very much looking forward to returning to life as (sort of) normal, and the new Pink Floyd Early Years box set which is…

Yeah, relief wins out, emotionally. I keep thinking I should be sadder than I am, but it's been years since he was who he was. And he was brilliant: Master's in history, taught it for 37 years, voracious reader of gigantic non-fiction books, world traveler, and had a collection of over 2000 classical CDs (and at one…

My dad passed on Monday. The effect was a bit muted by the fact that he'd been declining for six years with Alzheimer's, so he hadn't been very active or functional the last couple of years, and even longer since any real conversation. Sort of a sadness mixed with relief. Dealing with funeral stuff the next two days.…

That last line was the opening of your Penthouse letter, wasn't it?

My reaction was similar to yours, but found myself interested enough to continue watching more episodes, all of which I think were better and more thought provoking. My issue with this particular one is that it seems to want to have it both ways—saying, "would this be a horrific thing to watch?", all while focusing…

Funny, I have this, and was debating on keeping it. If I decide to sell, I'll let you know.

Yeah, I find it just doesn't look quite right when it's scaled down. Despite having the Omnibuses, I have to keep it. (And the old Wolverine and Dark Phoenix trades.)

True. Though while I see liberals praise him, but able to criticize as well, I'm not sure I've ever seen conservatives praise him on any level.

I think your last line is correct. That, and maybe the impression that the political opponents in 08 and 12 maybe still had America's best interest at heart, while that idea seems questionable now. I don't know if anyone was truly fearful of a Romney presidency.

I thought this review was a tad harsh. The "closeted professor" video and the mastermind villain and toilet sketches were enough to make me laugh out loud, which is rare enough with SNL. Yes, the Cubs thing was stupid. I know Bill Murray loves the Cubs, but I'd have thought maybe even he would know how bad that bit…

I remember it, too, though had completely forgotten about it until the sketch reminded me of it. Was "Safety" supposed to save you from a shoulder punch or something?

Well, the second printing had a gold cover, if that counts.

No no no no no.

Oh yeah, AD is great, too.
