I thought her skin had grown into the fabric of the upholstery.

No lie, George. This Memorial Day "Hoarders" marathon sent me into the bedroom closet with a purpose and a handful of Hefty bags. Mission afuckingcommplished thanks to A&E. Vaccumed the floor in there for the first time in years. It all but asked me what they ended up doing with Elian Gonzalez.

Smaug has three sets of wings, or is referred to by a saucy dwarf as "one big Fokker."

Shortly after taking a whiz in the weight room of the sitcom house.

Kender would be a step up, in more ways than one. He's a kobold. Maybe a kobold chieftan with the hit dice of a goblin.

No love for Martian Metals? Now you've made Leadsmith Leeper cry.

After-credits scene in an "Aztlan" movie:

If you were playing Gamma World as a tween in 1980, the debut of Thundarr was supreme plot-ripoff material.

@Lex: I've yet to watch the ep a 2nd time, but Paul seemed to be singing "And did those feet, In ancient times …" aka the "Jerusalem" hymn from "Chariots of Fire" and a couple of Python eps.

Just don't kill the Chink's fuckin' courier, huh? Otherwise you draw straws with Swedgin.

Truth is, as a base of operations, you cannot beat a fuckin' saloon.

Bee Man—At his current age, I was thinking Slattery would make a good John Stanton.

Just viewing this for the first time tonight. The "old guy" on whose lap Peggy sits also played Con Stapleton on "Deadwood," here sans the Munchkinland hat. But w/ Pegs in the hotseat, he may once again have been experiencing "a constant throb."

Garry Marshall's …crowd-pleasing…15 rope[r]…transformed…an adorable young moppet …into…studded…S&M…mantrap…Topher Grace.

Can't seem to remember ever shitting a droid.

She looked like she was in this clip. Could it be a side effect of reading the TelePrompTer? Or maybe b/c we usually see her w./ glasses on?

"Is it about my cube?"

"With spirits as gay as ten summer Sundays"

I bounced off of C6K hard the first time I read it. My liking for it has grown in time, though. Still never bought the instant romance between Littell and Jane (not really a spoiler; it crops up like four chapters in on Ward's arc), and that massive plot-lump of Vietnam history in the middle chokes the narrative out…

OP: Pete Bondurant is Howard Hughes' pet thug in "White Jazz," but he's a minor character and only shows up to help (and "help"—you'll get that if you've read it) the narrator a couple of times. That latter instance of "help" is a dry run for an incident with Ward Littell in "Tabloid."
