Are you kidding?  I would totally love to see what Yoda was like as a baby.  His becoming a Jedi could be awesome!

That's good for gout, right?  Cat gout.

Upon my recent viewing of the movie, that response got the biggest laugh out of me.  I wish I knew Ernie Hudson in real life.  In his interview (or was it Random Roles?) here in the last year or so, he came across as just about the nicest guy ever.

When that marshmallow man puffs you, you stay puffed, am I right?

Liked for the soda thing.  Never any likes for that National League team in the New York area.

They do things faster up in Canada.

The occasional short stories from Norman Mailer keep me coming back.

I thought Kevin Kline was Gene Hackman in the picture that linked me here!

That may be my all-time favorite visual gag on the Simpsons (up there with Bart rubbing dirt on his shirt after all his "unnecessary behaving" while unsuccessfully trying to woo Rev. Lovejoy's daughter with his good-boy act, and Homer's double-take when Lucy Liu's character reminds him that the Chinese are, indeed,…

I recite "cloves, Tom Collins mix, frozen pie crust" at home whenever our cupboard is looking quite Mother Hubbard-y.

When I was growing up, the toilet in our house was often occupied right when I woke up and needed to piss.  I took every opportunity like this to run into the backyard and water the grass.

I hate to even call this a triathlon, because people automatically think it's some kind of Iron Man thing.  This was just a 7-mile canoe, 8-mile bike, and 3-mile run event.  Pretty chill and just-for-fun — thought there were a few ultra-competitive people who, as my canoe partner said, "weren't up 'til midnight…

Competed in the Root River Triathlon in Houston, MN, which was pretty fun.  I think I improved my times from the last canoe-bike-run triathlon I did in October, but I'll have to see the official results to find out for sure.  Even so, there's a lot of work ahead for me on this front.  Winter hung on long past its…

That's a succinct way of saying it, yes!

Some people have mentioned Barton Fink, and that's a great (maybe the best) example of a movie that lulls you into a sense of security about what's going on, and then suddenly, horrifyingly pulls the rug out from under you.  Love it.

It's kind of a comedy version of 1984, I guess…

I agree that some people are mistaking the premise of the piece.  "Bait and switch" connotes duplicity and deception — promising one thing to lure an audience, and delivering something different, which the provider knows the audience never would have willingly paid for.  "Bait and switch" is fraud, and is punishable…

The title made me think it was going to be about a trip to the dentist for the first time in 10 years.

I don't know that C.S. Lewis was a biblical literalist or Christian fundamentalist, so I would think his work could speculate about how God rules multiple universes without being blasphemous.  This isn't very different from one of St. Thomas Aquinas's proofs for the existence of God: that the Prime Mover of the…

Are you Temple Grandin?
