They're at the crossroads

Hey CM, I thought that cookies were now a "sometimes food."

My comments in the print edition always got a lot of up-votes

Wait … doesn't that imply that you're a dummy?

Spoon!

OK, but are they illegal aliens? Because that's the real threat.

I dunno, Bush was pretty willing to believe in Iraq's WMD, regardless of all available evidence.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. People in the majority usually do not experience their majoritarian status; it is not a personal variable that rises to the level of consciousness. They simply describe themselves as "normal."

His real name is Joey Joe Joe Shabadoo

I've heard that he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly.

That's very "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury. We just need to see shadows of the deceased, permanently burned into the wall of the house.

Like many a Weird Al parody, I could no longer listen to Get a Grip after seeing the SNL parody of 'Aerosmith's Greatest Hits.' Amaza-Crazy-Cryin, indeed.

I love the 90s.

I dunno, the lawnmower scene is so amazing, how could you not love Dead Alive? Plus the priest, the baby … I could go on forever. But the original Evil Dead … so cheesy, such terrible effects … heck, it was so bad, they re-did the whole thing 6 years later.

This anti-political correctness canard has been around since at least the early '90s … The point of using accurate terms to describe people is not to avoid "offending someone somewhere." That is patently impossible, regardless of the term used.

I'd always heard that the Q was for 'questioning.' As in, you don't have to identify completely with any of the other categories.

Why didn't someone tell me? Oh, I've been making an idiot out of myself!

Why is there a whole generation of people who think it's Mrs. Crandall? Was there an episode in Season 17 where her name was mispronounced?

That's mostly right, although there are multiple definitions which have changed over time. Modern "European socialism" is simply a democratic, capitalist welfare-state. In Marx's day, "socialism" had more to do with economic restructuring, as a step on the path towards communism; the State was unimportant, but…

Pedantic comment: Overthrowing the bourgeoisie describes Communism, not socialism. The terms were somewhat interchangeable at first, but nowadays socialism is more concerned with Social Security and Food Stamps.
