I read a story a while ago that said that a visit by Tippi Hedren to Vietnam is partially responsible for the trend of Vietnamese people opening/running nail salons in the US. (They saw her painted nails, which hadn't really been a cultural thing there before, found them attractive, and the die was cast.)

WHAT'S UP!

SLIGHTLY HOT TAKE: Married…With Children was actually a pretty good show. (Mostly because Ed O'Neill was perfectly cast, the interplay between him and Katey Sagal, and also because of the amount of agency it gave its female characters.)

Right you are, Ken.

Takeshi Kitano! If you don't know him from Battle Royale, you will know him from Most Extreme Elimination Challenge! (It was originally a Japanese game show called "Takeshi's Castle".)

I can't believe that it overshadowed another great moment: Cartman turning into Glenn Beck.

SAID IT BEFORE, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: ZOOEY IS THE INFERIOR DESCHANEL SISTER, AND I'LL FIGHT ANYONE WHO DISAGREES

My mother is going to love this shit. (She's been binging West Wing non-stop since the election. I on the other hand have been watching a lot of hockey and binging…Chapo.)

WITH APOLOGIES TO BOB NEWHART, REGARDING #1 ON THE LIST:

He also cried when Celtic beat Barcelona a few years back. Which was a bit touching.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE PAUL FINEBAUM SHOW TOMORROW

Good thing, because Cheryl hates babies!

Didn't she say, in the grand backlash to that, that she had "her assistant" write her Tweets, including the mentioned one? Because I remember something like that.

However, a glorious place called "Saint Louis" has been created by the Gods, where both White Castle and Jack in the Box co-exist in perfect harmony. Sometimes right down the same street from each other, even!

Oh, Jack in the Box is still in St Louis—I even have a Jack-wearing-a-Cards-hat antenna topper sitting around somewhere. (Naugles became DelTaco, which left STL a few years back. Which is a shame, because both Jack and Del locations were close to my HS and quite popular for off-campus lunch.)

AJ's gotten slightly older: remember the plot-line last year when Lana got arrested for being too pushy with the headmaster of the best pre-pre in LA?

SERPENTINE, BABOU!
