Yeah, things suck.

I couldn't stomach more than a few minutes of this, but I'm so thankful to have seen the truly amazing Ford Futura ad at 8 mins in. And for some reason that I can't pin down, Ford's lightbulb logo made me cry tears of joy.

Sure are!

"What else should you do in New Hampshire?"

#1… Gary Busey makes everything better.

Quoth Dave Barry, "Not long ago I was sitting on a beach near a group of male college students who were talking about a bungee-jumping excursion they had taken. They were bragging about the fact that they had leaped off the tower in the ONLY cool way, which is headfirst and backward. They spoke with great contempt…

Thanks for the tip; I hadn't heard about that documentary but it sounds fascinating. I'll be sure to check it out. And I'm sure that quote will be in my head for quite a while.

Yeah, and what's this "Game of Thrones" shit everyone's always talking about?

"Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly. And Rhaegar died."

Credit where it's due: at least this was shorter than the typical Hatesong interview. I shudder to think that Marah may have edited out the parts that were less interesting than what we got.

Linus and Charlie Brown got into an argument about the existence of the Great Pumpkin, and Linus stormed off in anger, then told Lucy that he would no longer associate with anyone who didn't share his belief in the GP. Lucy's classic response: "Good luck with the world, kid."

Also worth noting: Snoopy titled his memoirs "Me" long before Katharine Hepburn did.

I was always partial to his "You have to go to school and I don't" dance.

As usual, the Canadians got there first; back in 1996, when they divided the Northwest Territories in two, there was a referendum on what to call the western portion, and "Bob" was a serious contender. Spoiler alert: they just ended up sticking with "Northwest Territories."

How about last season, when Sansa and Littlefinger were looking at Lyanna's crypt at Winterfell? Sansa recites the accepted version of the story, and Littlefinger sort of lets out a little chuckle and all but says, "it's cute that you believe that's what happened."

If I remember right (it was 20+ years ago), there was a teenaged kid running the slide, and his instructions were, in their entirety, "Clasp your hands behind your head, keep your head tucked toward your chest, and keep your feet up," and you were off to the races.

I was there and I can verify that everything in this article is true. The Cannonball Loop only operated intermittently, but it was open for business the day we went back in the mid-90s, and riding it is an experience that I'll carry forever.

I got the impression that The Waif was just playing the 'bad cop' role, especially near the end of that montage. She seemed pleased when Arya started holding her own against her, and I could swear she was taking her cues from Jaqen.
