That's pretty much true.  I remember when Michelob was considered "fancy" beer.

Everything concerning Col. Bat Guano in that movie is fucking hilarious.  I don't know if I've heard that whole exchange with the pay phone and Coke machine in one whole chunk, because some part of it has always made me laugh so hard that I've had to pause the tape/disc to catch my breath.

Ketchup is a terrible condiment.  It's too sweet, and it always makes whatever it touches soggy and cold.  If people want tomato ice cream, they should just make tomato ice cream.

You're right.  I've never much cared for Big Mac®s, mostly because of the sauce.

Carl's Jr/Hardee's might have a 1000-island burger, for all I know.  As for Jack in the Box, I am going on 30-35-year-old information, from a time when I got to eat one burger from there, before it was shut down by one of the food-poisoning incidents I mentioned.

Nope, mayo + ketchup + pickle relish.  That equals disgusting.

Why the fuck would they name a complex machine (like a car) after the legendary creature that attacks and sabotages complex machines?

I just heard a story on the radio this morning about frack-sand mining in WI and MN, and how the environmental and public health penalties the mining companies have to pay in fines are like peanuts to them, so they just mine however they want, since complying with the laws would supposedly cost more than paying the…

Mustangs are the affordable sports car for the masses, so they at least seem like high-performance machines that could win an impromptu stop-light drag-race at a quiet intersection late-late-late on a Friday night, and maybe get you laid.

Kaiser Soze style.

Seriously!  When he couldn't get it to start, my body couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry.  Also, for a minute I thought that was going to save him…but then he proved determined.

Any representation of Jack in the Box in the future is a joke to me, since when I was a kid, the chain kept trying to expand into Oklahoma City, but would inevitably get shut down because of food poisoning.  This happened two or three times in the late-1970s and early-1980s.  I guess they either hadn't heard of…

Pintos were a national joke because the hatchback version had a tendency to catch on fire and explode if they were rear-ended in a crash.

How come the show hasn't given us any indication about the financial health of Los Pollos Hermanos?  I mean, we saw the sign being taken down in the German office complex, but did that mean that the best fast-food chicken in the Southwest was totally kaput?  Even just an out-of-business sign on the mothership location…

Something something Cheetos, masturbation…

Hey, I just read that that poor guy ended up losing the other leg, too; but he also was the one who gave the cops the best lead in identifying the bombers.  He said that one of the two brothers looked him right in the eye after setting down the bomb, and calmly walked away.  So that victim was able to describe that…

Probably.  I don't remember you mentioning that you had actually gone to the trouble of editing the songs back-to-back like that, though.  I've been repeating myself around here lately (maybe I've come to the end of my stories, and I'm not even beyond 8000 comments yet).  Mostly, I just like to tell people about those…

Ugh.  Greatest hits collections are not proper albums.  They don't make a unified artistic statement in one moment in time. They are gateways to some artists, and all you need for many others. But they are not the type of thing being asked about in the original question.

When the movie came out, I was the only person in the audience who laughed and cheered at that line.  I felt so validated, because everyone fucking loved the Eagles, and I just couldn't take them anymore.  As I've said many times, I seemed to be the only one in the theater enjoying the movie, so it was a lot of…

It was my pick, too.  I was 12 or 13 when it came out, and those were dark times for popular music.  I liked other stuff before The Joshua Tree, of course, but none of them are still with me.
