I admire Cirque as much as the next… whomever… but when it finished there were giant words proclaiming it "CIRQUE DU SOLEIL" and that's when I realized that we'd all been duped into watching what amounted to a Cirque du Soleil commercial.  It suddenly went from classy and cool to commercial and crass for me.  
I agree…

I was under 10 in the 70s and my parents were boring so…..

Yeah, there's enough truth there to benefit you a bit.  Most of it is either obvious (to us now) or cliched (to us now) but Gibran wasn't really a light weight and the book is famous for non-boring reasons too. It's not Chicken Soup for the Soul or anything like that.

Pffft! That Leprechaun was horny and asking for it!

Fake Riddler!  The Riddler doesn't ANSWER questions… he asks them.

I understand the dislike of Idlewild but I couldn't live without "Idlewild Blues" and especially "Morris Brown"

I love his, Hodgeman's, sliently mouthed "You're Welcome" that ends the intro to whatever his latest recurring bit is called.

In perfect synchronicity, with every nerve alive.

Do let him write it

Full retard… jumping up and down on luggage.

Nah, Gingrich just has an open marriage involving Brah.

Rough Riders!
