"Welcome to prime time, bitch!" And then pulling Patricia Arquette into the TV was a great moment for young me…and Dokken's theme song!

Wow…This might be worth a read, if for nothing else than pure curiosity.

I just had to look this up because I thought you might be kidding! Holy crap! Have you read it? Is it any good?

I think there's a lot of us still out there! If I'm buying a full album, I gotta have the whole thing, with the liner notes, and I gotta put it on the shelf with all of my other ones. I just like to surround myself with all the stuff, and I need to be able to see it.

Ha ha! Now I really want to see a movie version of "Inside UFO 54-40" or maybe "The Lost Jewels of Nabooti."

I remember there was a stretch in the 90s or something where every punchline was about how Snoopy loved cookies. It was mystifying and silly. But after so many years drawing everyday, I guess he earned that kind of a coasting. He certainly did recover toward the end.

I loved Snoopy's tennis strips: You live by the poach, you die by the poach—said after he rushes the net and gets a tennis ball wedged in his mouth. That's a pretty good life lesson right there.

I'm giving you an internet hug, stranger. And I know what you mean—it can really, really hurt in a way you just cant describe. Sometimes I think I'm over middle-school lunch periods, but when I'm forced to eat at my desk nowadays because of so much work…well, those feelings never leave you.

That one does sting, indeed. I think Linus kisses her cheek in the next strip, which is unbearably sweet.

That's a great way of putting it: shut out the noise of growing up.

I love the one where Charlie Brown is trying to get a baseball card—he buys what seems like thousands and thousands, just looking for Joe. He's standing in a huge pile of wrappers and cards without any luck. And, of course, Lucy buys one single card for a penny and she gets Joe. Kind of sums up a lot of things, really.

One that stuck with me was when Snoopy was writing about Napoleon, and Josephine told him before battle: "Don't get blown apart, Bonaparte."

I love this comment. This is childhood and memories right here, sir. Makes my own exploits seem pretty tame…I always chickened out if the possibility of danger seemed real. And now…well, I kind of regret it.

Ha!

It's a nice little supporting turn. He's got a beard, so you can tell it's a "serious" role! Coleman really was a great character actor back in the day. Still is, I suppose. This site's writeup on Dragnet reminded me of all the cool things he's done in a pretty long career.

Ha ha…this is so true. I wish I knew why that was a thing that everyone our age knows about. There needs to be a study done immediately!

Indeed…Philip is a monster behind the kit. In Rainbows has so many amazing grooves and original touches.

Damn straight! And On Golden Pond,too. Which was weird because he was Jane Fonda's fiance or husband in that one, and that blew my little mind because they were adversaries in 9 to 5.

I seem to recall "Tomboy" and "My Tutor" as well.

Ha ha…today's kids will never know the lengths we went to. That and strange porn magazines in the woods…twas a magical time.
