I think Jay handled the situation quite intelligently, if you presume that:

I couldn't disagree more. I've never seen a higher average Survivor IQ, from Kim all the way down to Leif, among the final 10. And Leif really does drag down the average.

What you swattin' at?

Betty + Veronica = Britta

She's even good at explanabragging.

Time to educate the kids about the frivilous mayhem that was the Monkees.

Take another look at the photo at the top of this page and show me where the hot women are. And that's only how they look on day one or two.

It was Michelle who used a pair of glasses to make fire in Yau-Man's season in Fiji. She was the best. Her booting was the unluckiest ever. The alliance of her, Earl, and Yau-Man was the goods.

I interpreted it as a slam on the other rock-music nominees like Coldplay, not of a whole other genre like electronic.

HRN, you're right that Chris Brown can live his life however he wants to, and that the life he's chosen has placed him squarely in the crosshairs of a public scrutiny to which other woman-beaters are not subjected. He's a celebrity, and he's a woman-beater, and the fact that those two things intersect is something…

There's a reason why men who love brunettes love Britta: the short-a/long-e matrix is even stronger than the brunette-blonde matrix. Women whose first names end in a short a sound are usually brunettes; women whose first names end in a long e sound are usually blondes. Britta and Annie flip that dynamic. But it…

Love Circles Around the World With Love.

Headquarters debuted at No. 1 in 1967, and was replaced at No. 1 a week later when the Beatles debuted Sgt. Pepper. I'm not saying Headquarters is anywhere near Sgt. Pepper's level, but my personal scoring of a track-by-track competition goes like this. (I'm ignoring Band 6 from HQ):
1. You Told Me vs. Sgt. Pepper.…

…..and then you cut back to us….

You're right, you do know a lot about the Monkees!

"I just got back from Africa, where I used to play cards with the natives."

My half-sister, 15 years older than me, was an obsessive. She would paste newspaper clippings about Mickey Dolenz to the inner sleeves of her Monkees' albums while playing the records for me in her room. She turned me into a geek. Even now, whenever I smell rubber cement, I start humming "Look Out (Here Comes…

"I have no more than I did before,
but now I've got all that I need,
for I love you and I know you love me."

The video that made me fear California. Awesome song, though.

Yes! That Letterman theme was just right. Kind of urban, kind of chooglin', with that single organ note just shredding up the cozy Carson vibe, and Will Lee bouncing up and down, and Paul looking like a little alien behind his moogs and organs,and "And Window Washer Psychic Morris Fonte" and oh! It's Viewer Mail…
