I'm totally making a fanvid of this thread.

And what's up with the Maple Leafs? Don't Canadians approve of standard plural nouns?

I heard he was beating off in back.

Naw, it's just some high school slacker lip syncing to the Beatles and promoting animal/human hybrids. Downright un-American if you ask me.

I'll Fly Away
I'm seeing "The Fly" this season in LA, and Robert Wilson should totally direct "An Inconvenient Truth." Or anybody besides Baz Luhrmann.

Loved your take on this
I was definitely conflicted when I saw this film because lots of the earlier child star creepiness seemed unintentional while the bits that were supposedly scary and shocking (like the dinner tray bit) made me laugh. Thus, while I understand the accusations of camp, I'd buy your description of…

Interview with The Sussex Vampire?
Rattus Sumatras Giganticus?

There is Holmes fanfiction. (read: yes)

YAY!
2008 is my Year of Only Good Books (a relief after 2007, the Year of the Difficult Novel), plus I've signed up for a summer reading/reviewing contest at a university library, so I'm grateful for recommendations that won't take me ages to finish (see Faulkner) that still qualifies for the YoOGB. I'm working on…

Philip Roth?

Unless, of course, you happen to be an Eskimo who's not Inuit.

Dear Diary

I heard it was another iteration of how great/awful Albus Dumbledore was.

Yippee!
While you're making me giddy as a schoolgirl, can you please announce that the Decemberists are taking another shot at "The Long and Short of It" tour? Kthx.

That critter needs help!
Ms. Cusack single-handedly convince me that Pixar isn't just another slick androcentric animation studio as their first great female film character, Josie the Yodeling Cowgirl.

Pip Pip?
I preferred them when they were Gladys Knight and the Bob's Your Uncles.

Wait, so Shia isn't a chick?

I can just see the looks on the childrens' faces that late night in August when we perform our last of the season. The sights! The smells! The foetid pools of unidentified fluid! It's enough to warm the toughest of hearts.

And thank goodness for that, says I! Little Nebuchadnezzar Finagle and his flexible fundament have garnered us rave reviews amongst the Bear Baiting circuit, and we feel that with a few small changes, our little family could hit the big time! We're considering renaming our act "The Aristocrats."

Pish and tish Jorge-
Finagles all please
to strengthen our wrists
On the flying trapeze.
