Admiral Akbar is pleased that you were even listening to him.

You're right. The Intellevision game was Astro Smash. Same first word, same short vowel sound in the second. The rest is lagniappe.

The map is not even remotely correct for Pac-Man, and there are only two ghosts. That's more akin to K.C. Munchkin for the Odyssey2.

Live every day like it's Rex Manning Day.

Whaddaya wanna hear?

I thought it was Veruca Salt from the '70s Willy Wonka movie.

"Twin Guitar Harmony Attack Developments" is my favorite Allman Brothers fan newsletter.

Depends on what orifice you're having it in.

I love his baking soda, though. He should make, like, flavored ones.

And he writes it everyday.
