One of the things I liked most about BrakeBills was the implication that it was a strictly second-rate school of magic. It makes me want to see a book covering the events of Harry Potter from the perspective of a student in Hufflepuff.

I hate every Ape I see
From Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee…

Gemma Gemma, rhymes with dilemma.

Also, Asha and Arya aren't likely to overlap within the next 4 or 5 seasons, and Arya tends to go by various nicknames more than her real name.

I think it would be much creepier if she were Harley Quinn.

Kindlability?
Is the book heavily illustrated with pages and panels from the comics discussed? Is it going to be worth reading on the Kindle, or should I get a physical copy?

"Genius in France" because of the degree of difficulty involved in doing a style parody of Frank Zappa.

Jeopardy by Greg Kihn was on MTV about one an hour at the time he parodied it.

Social Problems no one cares about anymore
Anyone else remember when every third episode of any socially conscious show would be about teen runaways? The last time I remember seeing a show about a runaway was the "Anne" episode of Buffy, and that hardly counts.

I remember seeing an announcement a couple of years ago that Battlebots was coming back with some ESPN involvement, but nothing since then.

If Lennon had lived there would have been a Beatles reunion around 1987, producing a massive, overproduced world tour and a couple of Jeff Lynne produced albums about as good as Harrison's and McCartney's solo albums of the time. (A couple of OK singles, but nothing that really holds up.)

My Vajayjay
is painin'

I highly recommend tracking down the Confidential for this episode. They confirm that the 9th/10th Doctor's control room set has just been standing around unused this whole time.

George supplied the chaos, Bernie Worrell supplied the control. His classical training and work ethic is what allowed Clinton's non-stop party to actually produce brilliant music.

This is close to my thought - the music I tend to return to is music that I have some connection with because it was the soundtrack to some significant emotional moment in my life, and I just have fewer of those as I get older. I'm not making new memories to associate new music with.

Air Bud
Totally glossed over his drug suspension and the domestic violence allegations.

And it's interesting how when Wesley first reappeared on Angel, he was trying to pass himself off as what he eventually became - a badass "Rogue Demon Hunter." What started out being played for laughs wound up being deadly serious. (Much in the same way that it happened with Dark Lesbian alt-Universe Willow.)

Does anyone know if Paul's Boutique was the first album to sample a bong hit? I believe it is, but it's not like my knowledge of early hip-hop is particularly strong.

Under the Red Sky was really just a one-album dip, although it was a good number of years before he'd record any more original music.

And they knew that Sha-Na-Na were the kings of Woodstock.
