Supermarket Sweep for kids - this was the ultimate SAS postcard score.
I also enjoy the occasional Where Are Those GUTS Winners stories that pop up from time to tome.

I'm still bummed about Girls splitting. I missed most of their set at P4K because they were filming Transformers or some shit.

I use "land of wind and ghosts" all the time. I'd sneak it into my column and baffle and disturb our elderly readership.

Can't talk, coming down.

Even more amazing, he was pretty good. Bushwick Bill and Mojo Nixon were the only two celebrities I encountered during SXSW. I'm OK with that.

Redefining random, at SXSW I saw Bushwick Bill perform onstage with Weedeater at Heavy Metal Parking Lot 2. I couldn't remember if he was dead or not; if there was another black dwarf with an eyepatch then he had his BB cosplay down cold. It was really … random.

He was really down on Sixth Street getting crunk. I am enjoying my first SXSW as an Austin resident - I can finally relate to all these millionaires passed out in their own puke and pissing on themselves downtown.

He did it to score with chicks.

Um, Rhett Fucking Butler.

Marilyn Manson famously was an Eastbound and Down fanboy before he guested as some bowling alley weirdo. Not sure if he was also a Sons of Anarchy fanboy.

yeah you can drive by and still see most of it. Some of the coasters were sold off but the buyers wouldn't pay the shipping so they were left to rot.

It went through a huge weird legal saga before it finally closed.

There's some great photo galleries online of flyovers of the abandoned GA. I loved The Wave. It was legitimately scary to this an anthropomorphized wave was waiting to come get you.

This became the soundtrack for every unrequited anything from this moment on. And the template for every "chicks before dicks" friend-save after a boy breaks her friend's heart.
Sharon's - "I like Buffalo Tom …. Well I doooo!" aways felt a little forced.

There's a now-abandoned amusement park in Ohio called Geauga Lake. At one time it was part of the largest amusement park in the US - Six Flags Worlds of Adventure. Anyway, it had this ride called the Texas Twister, which was three or four rows of seats attached to big arms that spun you all around while flinging you…

Oh yes. The surburban mom hellscape. A formula for idyllic + batshit x horrifying will soon be created by Adult Swim.

Yeeeeah, you probably shouldn't throw the word "corpse" around with this movie.

What hell hath Too Many Cooks wrought?

I got beamed up.

This is the third time I've brought up FC in less than a month. I even worked into a column about zoos.
