You're friends with Hootie and the Blowfish? Well, with the Blowfish. Hootie's kind of aloof.

I referenced this exact stanza yesterday when someone told me that all the Jewish kids from Hebrew school take Hebrew in high school.

52 Pick Up was good. Wasn't that Elmore Leonard's?

Perhaps we should shoot him

Easily the greatest movie experience of my life. Left work in the middle of the day "for a deposition," saw it the old Biograph Theater on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago (the place where Dillinger was shot). Packed house and a movie that lived up to its hype. Cannot top the experience ever.

I remember that episode - an autistic kid was being "mainstreamed" and went to the high school. It was, if I remember correctly, pretty good TV. The ending has the kid taking a shot (in a hoops practice or game, I don't remember which) and they just show him taking the shot, not whether it went in or not.

Doug Benson's review of Radio went something like this: "Three reasons not to see this: Cuba. Gooding. Jr. (four if you count his teeth)."

She was a fantastic part of a great but overlooked show. Matt Groening calls it the story of Oliver Douglas in Hell.

Dick Shawn: You could have had your fair share, but you had to have the whole scene, baby.

I essentially agree with MBR regarding the threat of terrorism.  The Nazis and the Japanese were a pretty big threat as was the good ol' USSR.  Bin Laden and rest?  A bunch of uppity cunts.  And not the good kind.

Owned the album "Another Money Python Album" and it had the Piranha Brothers bit as almost the whole of side 2.

Lex: Otis, you know what my father told me when I was six years old?
Otis: Get out?
Lex: Before that.

Jim Matheson is a Dem congressman from Utah.  I think he is the D congressman with the most R leaning district in Congress.  The idea that Utah would have 9 congressional districts (they have 4 now) is pretty farfetched, however.

What an asshole!  (Slaps forehead)

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: One if a misfortune; two looks like carelessness.

Suddenly the lyrics of "Come A Long Way," are called into question:

I think Ambrose Bierce once wrote a book review that read: "The covers of this book are too far apart."  Your's is better, I think.

Ditto.  Wish I could find the clip of Craig Kilborn's outtake from "Old School" when his girlfriend and her 6 year old daughter bring him breakfast and the newspaper in bed. The girlfriend runs to get orange juice that she forgot.  Kilborn takes a look at the paper and says, "this is yesterday's paper, dumbass," and…

It is an amazing show and if you happened to be the age of the characters in the same time period it is eerie.

I'll reply to my own post - "What's Up, Doc?" Great movie.  Showing it to your kids is akin to showing them "Princess Bride."  They'll be hooked for life.
