My seven-year-old daughter absolutely fell in love with Hey Ya a few years ago. We play it constantly, and she just jumps and dances her heart out. She doesn't understand what shaking it like a Polaroid picture means, but hey, that just feeds into the out-of-time, timelessness of the classic song.

I refused to see Galaxy Quest because it was a TA movie until a friend promised me that he'd pay for my ticket if I didn't like it.

Last two books
I got into Gibson a bit backwards, starting with Pattern Recognition and Spook Country and then working back to the Cyber stuff.

Or you could call it an update of Misfits of Science or the Greatest American Hero.

It was a bit tortured, but I did like Mike's routine about not doing drugs.
"I used to do heroin which is like being naked in a pool full of puppies," was a great description. And I loved the whole, well, drugs worked out for me just fine vibe that came from the bit.
As a whole, I don't like his act, but that bit worked…

Really? I thought it was the lack of upper body strength in the men and the propensity of sore backs for the women. The biggest question is why Mennonites are so fond of anal.

I was watching a friend's kid play the Legos Indy game on Wii (or some console), and I got the biggest kick out of how they handled Winny. Every time he switched characters so she was left standing alone somewhere, the little Lego character would put her head in her hands and start bawling.

still looks like the one to beat. I thought he did a great job playing to and against his image. The women have it rough… because that's how I give it to them line was one of the few moments that got me to laugh out loud.

Melanie moved to Europe years ago. He heard she'd go out with him if he did a show there.

Joe's deadpan delivery in Jumper killed me when I saw that episode.
"Can these wires hold both of their weight?"
Joe — Long Pause, "Yes."

According to those charts, Crystal lost in Ohio… a crime if you ask me. Here in Cleveland, she's been getting a lot of press and attention.

I read Charlotte's Web to my daughter about two years ago, and now that she can read fairly well, we're reading it again together.

Sloppy D'Oh
I was surprised to hear the complaints about serving shrimp to Homer.
There was a great episode where Homer bought room-temperature shrimp in a big bucket from Apu at the Kwik-E-Mart.

My wife and I gave up on Happy about 20 minutes into the pilot. It was just bad storytelling.
Compare it to the pilot of Lost — the audience was as clueless to what was going on as the characters (and possibly the writers). Discovering the mystery was the show's hook.
With Happy Town, everyone was carefully trying to…

Looking at that list of songs, here are some suggestions.

My favorite moment of any season was two back when Jason Castro butchered "I shot the sheriff" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" in the same night. When he got booted the next day, he seemed relieved. He looked right at Ryan and said he didn't know what he was going to do if he had to learn three songs.

Iggy Pop week would be something to see…
Or more realistically, based on his catalog, get David Bowie.
Who wouldn't want to see Aaron pretending to go down on a guitarist while singing Ziggy Stardust.

Rush's original drummer dropped out of the band before they had any real hits because his diabetes kept him from touring as much as the other band members would have liked.

Andrew didn't have it tonight. I think it's going to be him and Siobahn, which would have bothered me three weeks ago, but both of them deserve it now.

In comic books, soap operas and shows like this, unless you see the body torn into little pieces and devoured by insects, he's not dead.
