Wistful, not so much, but anybody who lived in suburbia in those days had seen fashion and interior design like that. Maybe that's why it's so popular - people of that generation (like me) commiserating about what a hideous, hideous time it was - avocado stoves and harvest gold fridges. Just horrible. TBB was the…

Maybe they just went "missing". Just peel back that astroturf - instant grave site with no tell-tale dead grass!

Avatar part deux pour Quebecers: Chequez le tabernac truck, la la

I say this as a recovering alcoholic: One of my favorite lines of all time is from Barney Miller, where a drunk gets busted for breaking into a liquor store, and his AA mentor shows up at the precinct. The mentor is well-dressed, prim and proper, and tells the burglar "I'm the example of what 20 years of sobriety can…

A '60s laugh track would work.

Am I the only one that was disappointed that we got some skinny Caucasian in the vid? I expected some Japanese girl group, like Mini Moni, and some old comedian, like Bakatono, showing me the correct way to eat a hamburger. I was also hoping for weird kaleidoscope visual effects and a crowd over-reacting going "wow!".…

He was the definition of raconteur, as well as being a fantastic writer. Chicagoans have their own version of storyteller in the Studs Terkel mode and he was right there. His essays on his site in his later years were great, great wrting, right up until the end, which is so rare for a writer. My favorite anecdote is…

Has to be beachside, and has to have at least one Mariachi scene under the palms and thatched roof of the beachside bar. Ends with mariachi band playing bouncy ska music and everybody dancing, while Sandler takes a drink…from a Penafiel bottle (product placement!) while the great Barrymore sighs gratefully. .

Followed with the bouncy ska!

Whoa thanks for turning me on to the flophouse. I've been bummed out for a while that the guys from stomptokyo haven't updated their web site in a while. This looks gooood!

A liking of The Room can be ruined by some people, just as when my sister ruined Chapelle's show by constantly saying "I'm Rick James, bitch!" In fact I will say right here that it's people like my sister who ruin a lot of things, inlcuding rap music. I love my sister, but she just sees things from a surface…

I'm the king of the moondoggers, and this is the moondog show!

Good Eveming Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea…
I'm not doing this right, am I?

I used to work for a leasing company, and my cube (one of those low wall cubes) was right next to the collection people. That has got to be the worst job in the world, far worse than cold call salespeople or new car salespeople. The majority of them were on heavy mood altering medication just to handle their job. My…

I think it depends on whether they are Fortune 500 accountants, or CPAs who do small business and personal taxes. The guys who run their own shop generally have the Warriors season tickets and always know the good restaurants. Whereas the accountants who work for my company…well they are very, very good at what they…

Ya, and buckfast rather than Faygo (dare I google that at work?)

Also, the stories of how it was rehearsed and the way the band lived together is a story of horrific abuse. I almost quit listening to it after reading about that. No musician, or human being, should have had to go through what the Magic Band went through.

Hmmm, smirking guy or child kidnapper….hold on, I'm thinking!

You saw the Sharks in the playoffs too huh?

They lyrics on TMR are amazing. Check Frownland some time.
