While it used to refer to pictures of saints, now it means "small graphic commemorating a dead technology", like the floppy disk representing file saving or the answering machine cassette tape telling me I have voice mail. Maybe they're martyrs, too.

My own mother sat through ten minutes of Space Jam before she realized it wasn't The English Patient.

"Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?"

There's a bit where he's talking to two Harkonnen goons, the ones who take Paul and Jessica out to the desert to die, and Dourif is really emphasizing his gestures. I had made up in my mind that the pilot was deaf (so Jessica couldn't use The Voice on him) and that this was their sign language, but I can't recall if…

Honestly, I feel like "naive, unworkable, untested ideas" is a good descriptor for Trump as well. His outsider status made him seem fresh, until he hijacked one of the major parties, but a lot of the criticism you can level at Johnson, in terms of his ideas not withstanding scrutiny or being largely ignorant of even…

Two out of three of those hold no interest, but if they manage to use association to taint Unforgiven, I would… not forgive them.

Even as 538 shows his odds of winning red states like Alaska and Georgia declining, they give him a 99.8% shot of winning Alabama. He must have surreptitiously given them word already.

I like to imagine that Time After Time is loosely connected to "Wolf in the Fold". Redjac the evil non-corporeal entity is what Jack the Ripper became after Wells left him floating adrift in the space-time continuum.

I've taken to referring to McDonald's as "that Scottish restaurant", in reference to HG Wells there, but also as if it were a name that shouldn't be spoken, similar to only speaking of "The Scottish play" instead of saying "MacBeth".

Someone who can do stupid things.

"Sorry it's not in packages."

It's the last part of any properly alphabetized breakfast.

Respect to Utah voters if they stand by their convictions strongly enough to reject a selfish, bigoted predator. It's frustrating to see self-described Christians in the Bible Belt struggle to find ways to vote for a man who embodies zero of the morals they claim to value.

The slime pit refused to readmit him.

I successfully defended my PhD thesis afternoon. Presentation was delivered in last year's Halloween costume, and made a point of giving a shout-out to Phife Dawg (RIP).

I hope it was as good as the one he did for Dragnet.

How is Taco Bell not sending them a cease-and-desist?

Not even real Nixon. He'll seem cartoonishly evil compared to the actual cartoon evil head of Richard Nixon. "I'll sell kids' organs to zoos for meat, and go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place!"

There's nothing wrong with this argument that a hundred dollars won't fix.

Sean Connery's fifth Bond outing You Only Live Twice. I like it because it was the first Bond film I ever saw. It's a little ludicrous, with gadgets getting progressively over-the-top until we've got a helicopter in a suitcase, but it's full of iconic series moments like Blofeld's volcano lair.
