Yeah, but you can turn it into "Sending you forget-me-nots, to help you to remember" and Patrice Rushen will make it all better.

I think CBabz would be proud of where his accomplishments have led.

Trying so hard to remember that book's title, looks like I don't have to. Thanks, Internet!

Hmmm…
I'm not alone I'm not alone I'm not alone

Thanks all for ideas, everyone.

What's there to love about Toronto? Seriously, I'm heading there in two months to visit my sister, and aside from the AGO, what should I do while there? I can't spend 4 days going up and down the CN tower.

regarding the timing of waking up from "Level 1" to the airplane, can anyone remember an announcement on the plane like "20 minutes til we land in LA" just after they wake up and just before Saito makes the all-important call? I seem to recall this, but maybe it was all a dream…

Not overdoing it
So glad he mentioned that fewer Bas-Lag novels would be better than more. It seems too many sci-fi/fantasy novelists forget this rule (I'm looking at you, Robert Jordan's corpse!)

Duh?
If it's so great, why not just show the original series?

Erm… # = pound (or waffle, if you're feeling cutesie)

Lake Titicaca?

Could everyone just take a step back here to note that Quebec is NOT the same thing as France. Conflating the two is a huge error.

In depth review
Rich over at FourFour blog sat down to watch the DVDs and does a pretty hilarious review. Lots of disturbing screencaps and GIFs.

I must be the only person who got MJD's brilliant Eurovision joke. Bravo, mon ami, bravo.

I don't know that song all that well, but it seems to me in the original there's a line that ends with "gotta" but Rachel totally over-enunciated "got to." Anyone else notice this/find it annoying? Especially with the other Streisand-isms that she threw in.

Really? I thought the take away here was a #17 with extra dumplings.

Dr. Strangelovecraft, your PhD must be in Music studies or something, because mP is a milliPiven. A megaPiven would be MP.

Original, or BQ?

Will the target audience of the new Melrose Place even know what a "menage a trois" is?

If that was some misguided attempt at over-the-top American patriotism, then FAIL.
