Most of those, I reckon, are worn by Americans. There was one on my backpack as well. I had quite a life sketched out for myself in Winnipeg. No one was ever interested in delving into my fake life as a Winnipegger though, so I sometimes ditched the flag and pretended to be Scottish instead. I felt I could really let…

Yeah, like Chairman Meow would ever listen to me.

I'm kind of interested in giving it a look now…

Does my cat get to meet him too?

My favorite Brooker-Huq moment has to be: "I'm Konnie Huq. I'm thirty-three years old, but I look about nine."

The Beach Boy. I wasn't aware of the baseball player until you mentioned him. I'll have to do some research to see if he's a future candidate to also be confused with Owen Wilson.

I don't know why, but I sometimes get Owen Wilson and Brian Wilson mixed up. That made for a confusing, yet strangely plausible, headline for a moment.

RIP Mrs. Crandall.

Quiet! I will not hear another word against Knight Bus!

Don't forget about Party Posse!

When I lived in suburban Arizona I had a key in the center compartment. I even forgot to lock the car one night and someone nicked my English to Spanish dictionary from the back seat. The contents of the glovebox and the center compartment were strewn about the car, and the key helpfully placed upon the dashboard for…

I dunno. I think the MLS has a long way to go before it catches up to the Qatar Stars League.

Well, that scene is quite a ways into the film. I seriously doubt she got that far. However, there is a horrifically violent scene about ten minutes into the film that pretty much emptied the theater when I saw it. I'm guessing she probably bailed there.

I probably wouldn't have known if I hadn't been compelled to investigate due to her uncanny resemblance to my mom. Maybe I'd have just assumed she was North American that way, and not noticed how she pronounces "anything."

She was just an awful old woman. I also wouldn't rule out that I was an equally (probably more) awful young man. Perhaps I was wrong to antagonize her, but she had been incredibly annoying in the past. She rented Mulholland Drive, of her own volition, and would complain about it every time she came into the store,…

Former NFL Benchwarmer John Beck and MLB footnote Jeremy Accardo went to the same junior high as me. I believe we all had the same English class one semester. The same English class where, to my mortification, Beck vociferously commented on my malodorousness. I thought the most interesting thing about the area near…

No, but I did get a talking to when some old codger complained to the manager after I recommended Alphaville and Irreversible. It was her fault for watching!

Are you hiring, by any chance? I'm not very personable, and am terrible at preparing food, but I was assistant manager at a Blockbuster for about two weeks…

Hmmm, I thought it was a fairly uncontroversial opinion that it's a deeply mediocre film, as forgettable a best picture winner as the likes of Cimarron, Gigi or Around the World in 80 Days. I'm probably long overdue to give it another chance though. I'm pretty sure I even have the DVD despite my dislike for the film.…

Eh, I may have to give it another look. I remember it being thoroughly tedious when I saw it, and I like John Ford. A friend of mine tried to convince me that it was brilliant when viewed as a kind of "studio system Malick" but I couldn't really see it that way.
