Dame Edna: The Early Years

Well, she was only in the army from age 7 to age 9.

What a Gal!

Totally disagreed, but upvoted for spelling it the way my wife pronounces it.

You're describing Ben Weasel's entire oeuvre.

Yeah, hopefully they'll just end up killing each other Reservoir Dogs style.

Didn't it originate as a screenplay, though, with the novel and the movie being developed simultaneously? Or am I thinking of The Godfather?

A.V. Club: "TV Reviews…replace[s] TV Club."

Yeah, the guy that created a show about a midget falling down over and over again must have unimpeachably high standards and integrity.

I totally agree! Oh, wait, you said "underestimating," didn't you?

Oh, and were Guy's pants shitty before he pretended to shit in his hand? I didn't bother to go back and look, but it's way funnier to me to think that when he pretended to shit, he actually shit in his pants.

Right, but I don't think Franklin gave a fuck about what happens later. Not his problem.

"Sock it to me, Richard!"

I, for one, was shocked to read that he is turning 80. I honestly thought that he was closer to 100.

Ahem. When did he play baseball in the Carolina Leagues?

You forgot Serena Altschul squint-grinning and grin-squinting her way through the interview.

Oh, Conan O'BRIEN. Dammit! I was really hoping for a Hyborian Age buddy comedy, perhaps with an aging, wizened King Conan teaming up with a old, wily thief.

So are you saying that it was shitty because it was a Catholic school, or that it couldn't possibly have been shitty because it was a Catholic school? I didn't go to one, just a shitty public school, but my cousins went to a Catholic school, and it was great. I rarely hear anybody say anything bad about the education…

Man, what a shitty school you went to, @avclub-53a226780628f3d898494942ad3dd491:disqus .

Man, I loved Supercharger. I had Goes Way Out! on CD, but the debut was just a limited vinyl release and it was really hard to find, so somebody actually did a 500-copy bootleg vinyl reissue, and I bought one (still got it). Also got it later when it was reissued (officially) on CD with extra tracks.
