Seth spread so very thin
I can't help but think that there was enough funny material over the course of his three shows to make one good one, if the effort were there. The opening of 'The Cleveland Show'—which referenced Xmas only long enough to set it aside in favor of Thanksgiving—was the best part of the night.…

Celia Cruz on the soundtrack to 'The Mambo Kings'

Nice catch. Great Song.

("Boom")

Yes, but are you able to conjugate "Boing Book Tschak"?

That's Tito Puente, pal—and I always thought it was Puerto Rican slang for something like "hey, let's go".

Hey, Macarena!

While the ire is up
Let me point out that 'Lady Marmalade' is not really Disco. It's Funk, Dance Funk sure, but its syncopation is much too broad and irregular, and its arrangement too much along the lines of Funkadelic's contemporaneous 'Cosmic Slop' album (Funkadelic would later even quote another Labelle song…

I get it
That picture—real orphans, right? Someone did a search of Getty images with the key word "orphans"? Very tasteful. But couldn't you get the same points on the cleverness scale with a still from 'Oliver!'?

When I was in school
I used to listen to Peter Gabriel's 'Passion' when I was writing papers, because I could usually finish at about that point where the triumphant bells were ringing—Then I would sit up and declare "It is accomplished".

I just dug this up:

hmm…
and yet the Mayans said the world wouldn't end until 2012.

He's Rick Jay, Bitch
I will probably always remember him as the guy on the 'X-Files' who decapitated himself but I'd love to see that show of his—There are all these long gone facets of live entertainment that fascinate me, and that sounds like the kind of thing he covers—equestrian apiary, the esoteric and…

At least 75% of Zooey Deschanel's appeal is in her name. As someone with a bit of linguistic synaesthesia, I can tell you that is one of the most erotic sequences of letters ever spelt.

I have no beef with Kirsten Dunst (or a lot of Whitney Houston, for that matter)—I'm one of those people who really liked 'Marie Antoinette' and I'll watch 'Bring it on' any time (okay, I admit that's more about Gabrielle Union—but Dunst doesn't exactly ruin it for me). I just like wordplay, inadvertent or otherwise.

You forgot the most important part of that story ElDan—how does he eat his grits?

Judging Books by their Covers
I stopped reading fantasy when I stopped playing D&D so I really only know Robert Jordan's books as a bookseller, and they seemed to always sell well—but there's something peculiar about their covers that always kind of bothered me. It's not that they all seem to be drawn by the same…

Does this count?:

This is precisely what bothers me about '24'.
