I don't think Smith ever played with Bowie (unless it was some one off gig somewhere). He was in the video for "Fashion" but he didn't play on the actual record (he was just one of many people cast to be in the video, when they cast him they had no idea he played a guitar, but they did end up incorporating that into…

"I should've known it was a mistake when she said, 'I suppose' instead of 'I do.'"

At first it was one of those little potential arcs that was introduced in Season 3, was promptly dropped, and brought back in the last season after she married Criss. The result of which was so sweet (adopting tiny versions of Jenna and Tracy.) Damn, I miss that show.

Just remember another rule of comedy in our lovely country:

She actually tried adoption first and ran into a brick wall because she was a single woman working a high stress job, which afforded Megan Mullally a few guest shots.

The highlight of the show was Charles continually calling his sperm "Boyle oil" and Jake's utter disgust at the term.

The bat! His groin!

I thought it was kinda cool how they inserted a very young Bill Mumy into the Houses of the Holy cover.

Size matters not.

Don't worry, she's just blowing up balloons. For a party.

Well, his career is. (BURN!!)

Darn. The headline made me think it was about Blossom and oral.

I thought pedantry hats were made of straw, so you merely had to put your fist through it.

The word "grue" (referring to monster that resides in the dark) was supposedly coined by author Jack Vance in the 60's, and that's where Dave Lebling (who wrote many of the Infocom games) got it from. I don't doubt that King was also a fan of Vance and used it for that reason as well.

Well played, sir.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie…

I always found it baffling that Tarantino and Co. spent $50+ million to replicate cheap films from the 70's. Wasn't that sort of missing the point?

You could also just frotz something. (I spent way too many hours with the Infocom games.)

Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.

Excellent summary. Of all the differences you cite, the backing vocals are the most annoying to me. The soundtrack backing vocals are much better and have a plaintive, almost gospel tinge to them. The Long Run backing vocals are just Eagle-fied, which isn't the worst thing, but it's just the same approach they used…
