People still tend to believe that Palin herself—and not Tina Fey—once claimed that she could see Russia from her house.

Carson used the same line multiple times, usually at Friar's Club roasts, and usually directed at Milton Berle.  It's something of a descendant of a line attributed to Fred Allen, who claimed that Jack Benny "couldn't ad lib a belch after a plate of Hungarian goulash".

I'm married to a woman who, up until about two months ago, had never watched "The Sopranos".  For whatever reason, I pulled out the DVD's one night and we watched the pilot.  I hadn't watched the show in six years.  She was hooked by roughly episode five.

Don't know if any of the other 1,017 (and counting) comments mentioned John Lennon's "Woman Is The N——- Of The World", but it gets my vote.

Fuck Mike Ilitch and his ugly-ass wife, fuck the city of Detroit, fuck Comerica Park, fuck casino gambling, fuck Little Ceasers, and fuck that fucking Comerica Park ferris wheel.  With Tiger Stadium gone (and I do mean gone—the city made sure that there's nothing left on the site but a fucking flagpole) there is not…

If Trey Parker and Matt Stone ever try to rag on Al Jarreau, Phil will be the first to rush to his defense.

Bruno Kirby, as the limo driver in "This Is Spinal Tap", almost (but not quite) under his breath:  "Fuckin' limeys…"

I saw Eddie Vedder's solo show at a theater last year, and was annoyed at how the audience kept shouting at him between songs—"Jeremy!"—but in looking over reviews of other shows, this was apparently expected and accepted behavior.  I don't know.  I was, frankly, even more surprised that a theater that touts itself as…

In this day and age of interactive media, consumers understand that they have a voice that can used and heard, instead of simply being expected to sit passively before a TV screen, their viewership assumed to be an endorsement of the programming.

I agree.

Whoops—I stand corrected.  I heard that back when the movie came out and had wondered who it was all this time, not realizing that the truth had seen been revealed.  (The original DVD doesn't never even hints that the role was ever recast.)  Thank you—that's even more interesting than Geoffrey Rush.

Albert Brooks replaced somebody; Pixar has never revealed who.  Rush was supposedly shuffled over to the part of the pelican when it was decided that Nemo's father needed a less serious, more comic approach.  Or something.  Pixar manages to keep a surprisingly tight lid on this stuff.

Wait a minute—"Monsters Crematorium"???  I'm in!

Rumor has it that Albert Brooks replaced Geoffrey Rush as the voice of Nemo's father in the original "FInding Nemo".

I'm really sorry I passed on seeing "Brave" in a theater.  I gathered (wrongly) from the marketing campaign that it was some sort of Disney-princess-meets-Tolkien thing, which only interested me at the DVD level.

You'd also think at some point that people would question the whole midichlorian/"the-force-is-genetic" thing, but nooooooooooooo, everybody's apparently cool with that.

Alice Cooper's 1983 album "DaDa" had themes of, yes, Dadaism ("I Love America") and even used a Salvador Dali painting on the cover.

Anybody else remember the fall 1992 SNL sketch with the premise that Dan Quayle had also condemned a sitcom called "Mr. Casual Sex"?  

It's sort of like if a politician had used the example of Cousin Oliver and "The Brady Bunch" to decry how the evaporation of family values had created a generation of parents willing to abandon their children in order to travel to South America for an archaeological dig.
