So, does anyone else half-way wish that they will post this same article, word-for-word, each day this week?

That might be an early sign…

The Hagg might ask the same thing — not because of Alzheimer's, but because he's still drunk from that night back in 1985.

It is the cruelest disease in many ways to the sufferer's family, because the failure to recognize sons and daughters can hurt those sons and daughters so much.  It also doesn't do anything (or, at least, much) directly to kill a person, so if their body is relatively healthy, they can live as long as that brain…

Yeah, the FCC only lets you talk like that if you're a fading power-hitter from Boston.

I read that in Bill Clinton's "Treehouse of Horror VII" voice.

I thought they were from Sweeden.  I must have gotten them mixed up with Roxette, which is really unfair.

When I was a kid, we had a Pinto wagon, I was one of those kids in the back of a fiery death-trap (just kidding: the wagons apparently didn't have the same flaw as the hatchback).  I'm gonna make myself a T-shirt that says "Pinto survivor."

Gerber was still doing fine in 2001.  That's who was feeding the people in space, right?

In all seriousness, I would advise anyone who wants a cheap, watery beer for the summertime to try Old Style.  It's pretty good, for that category, and it at least deserves to be as well known as PBR.

The much-abused Aztek on Breaking Bad eventually became an even bigger joke than the shitty RV.

Cuttbruckers!

Hah!  I've got one.  It's the exact phone that Gus Fring used as a burner in one episode of Breaking Bad.  Yes, I'm that behind on cellular technology.  My parents (aged 66 and 64) just got smart phones, and I still don't have one.

The original Pabst Brewing Company continued production until 1996 (or thereabouts).  One day, they just boarded it up and abandoned the entire brewery complex.  It sat there as the gateway to the ever-crumbling northwest side of Milwaukee for over 10 years.  Then someone bought the property, with thoughts of turning…

Don't call a carpenter when you need an auto mechanic.

There's really no other explanation, 'cause that shit is just straight-up horrible. 

I love how M&M-Mars refused to let them use M&Ms for that movie.  If you've read The Emperors of Chocolate, though, you know how crusty and contrarian the Mars family is, so they probably still didn't care when E.T. went on to make more money than the Catholic Church and US Steel put together.

The Gatorade™ cocktail his "fancy" wife was drinking out of a martini glass was a hilarious touch.

In the Opposite-Day Inventory, though, Wilson Sporting Goods had to have been happier than pigs in shit with their product-placement!

I see exactly what you're saying about Tom Hanks's character, and I think it's accurate — however, I never saw him as inspiring.  He seemed like a soulless corporate drone to me, the kind of guy who had given himself over entirely to the mega-corporation that employed him.  FedEx constituted his identity, before his…
