I like it, too. (Read that with an Irish accent, the fresh scent of Irish Spring soap wafting gently on the breeze.)

Okay, okay—just put me down gently, please, Andre.

Would you ask Tom Petty to sing that?

Actually, I feel a bit sad for your loss. Seriously.

I heard Morrison's Green long before I knew it had anything to do with the Muppets. I like it.
I also like Wavelength. He didn't really lose me till he went all religious&reformed. Yuck.

Another vote for Moondance as the first taste of Morrison.
He also did an album with the Chieftains which is a lot of fun. No kind of entry album for Morrison, though, but back to his own roots.

I haven't read the book, and you can tell me the answer to my question.
In the movie, it's obvious that the bugs don't have the capacity to attack Earth, and the asteroid/meteor strikes are a random event that the Earth military uses as an excuse to start a full-out war against the bugs.
Is it the same in the book?

I haven't read the novel, but it's pretty obvious in the film that the "bugs" don't have the capability of attacking Earth, so the asteroid (or meteor) strikes are just an excuse for the Earth military to start a full-scale war against the bugs.
Kind of like starting a war in Iraq after Saudi Arabs hijack planes and…

Years ago I had a horse at a small stable owned by a British couple. The wife had one of those senses of humor as dry as the desert, and her husband and son never got any of her jokes. She'd say something, I'd laugh till my eyes teared up, and the husband and son would look at me like I was crazy.
The son has…

What's even more fucked up is plastic surgery for your dog, and yes, it's done.

But isn't that Eddie Izzard in one clip?

I think DL Hughley, however he spells his name, is the unfunniest comic I've heard. Going by Migrant's standards, then, I must insist that there are no black comics as funny as white comics.
Except of course I realize that I just don't like him, and trying to stretch that little bit of dislike into a gross…

She's been on tv since the mid-'60s at least, doing part of her act. Hell, she appeared live at my high school, which had been high school, for the dedication ceremony when it moved to a new building in a new area of Brooklyn. Mid-'60s then, and she was well-known already.

I'd still take upstate NY, and yes, I have lived there in February.

Yeah, something like that. They're in a Jeep, maybe, and they fall into whatever. I don't know about Death Valley, but desert sounds right.

Movies for planes makes me think of the Joan Rivers interview.

She is in her 70s. Women don't look very good when they get that old, even the ones who looked good when they were young, and she was never good-looking really, just younger.

I'd rather live upstate in NY than in San Diego.

The Vicar of Dibbly?

If a Lebanese man went to Mayberry today, he'd end up in Guantanamo.
