I was born in '83. I had Blue on cassette. I got it when I was eleven.

Shameless self-promotion! I do a podcast, like the rest of the world, and we did a Boy Meets World episode in honor of the new show. It is incredibly filthy, especially when we get into our BMW slashfic segment.

Took my comment, man.

Webster was a big part of Ambrose's book, because he was so educated and wrote many letters back to his family. There is one line of his that has stuck with me over the years, about buying some of those "gaily colored swimsuits from Abercrombie and Fitch". It was so relatable, in a "WW II Soldiers! They're Just…

I went to high school with his kids (What up, Franklin High). He was a super nice guy, and we partied at his house just a skosh more than we should have. But I got to talk to him about the Rocketeer once, which was AWESOME.

The Pants are alive! They're in the Old West, but they're alive!

Will no one give Todd credit for a great Willow reference?

Is it Alfred Hitchcock Presents: the Three Detectives?

Baltimore County's high school Spanish curriculum consists of nothing but showing Selena over and over again. I can quote that fucker like no one's business.

One line, from the Pryor "Repossessed" skit: "Your mother sews socks that smell."  I hadn't seen Exorcist yet, and didn't know about Dimmy's mother's extracurriculars.

The Isabel Spellman novels by Lisa Lutz would make a cute series.  Slightly scattered late-20's female PI navigates love and light mysteries.  It would be good on Sunday nights on ABC, or whatever the current equivalent of that is.

When half of the country is going through a heatwave, it is irresponsible to remember your booties on because it's not cooooold out there today.

O'Rourke did not come off as great in this book.  Of course, none of those guys did.

Try watching Jakob the Liar and not laughing, I dare you.

I just finished "That's Not Funny, That's Sick", a history of National Lampoon that also hits on SNL by necessity. It's amazing and just a bit disturbing how wide spread the whole women aren't funny thing was. Not to mention the idea that Jews and other ethnics weren't funny either. It was like a WASPS only club. It's…

Franklin W. Dixon is full of shit.

That's actually a process I'm interested in, especially if you include living authors, like James Patterson and Tom Clancy.  These guys are just writing outlines at this point, right?

Are we just going to pretend that this chick wasn't on Step By Step?  Is that what's happening here?

From out of left field, the Trickster episodes from the Flash series from the '90's.  You have an interloper in Mark Hamill's villain, but also in the lady PI meant to set up a love triangle between Barry and Tina.  I know I'd enjoy it.

That's First Contact. That one came out when I was in high school.
