Furiosa.

I am also a Minneapolitan, and they play DOA (and "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal) pretty much every Halloween on The Current…around 7:00 AM, this year. I was not having any of that.

I remember being terrified by this song when I heard it in the car, at night, on the way to stay with a friend of my Grandma's. I was scared that someone with a gun would be walking around outside the window. Granted, I was perhaps all of 4 years old.
Other song that scared me in the car as a young child: Riders on the

Ugh, "Timothy."

I am irritated that people used trees other than conifers to make their tree puns.

There's things that you guess, and things that you know…
There's little things you hide, and little things that you show
Sometimes you think you're gonna get it, but you don't, and that's just the way it goes.

Bingo - I graduated from St. Olaf in 1991 and moved to Minneapolis in 1992. So most of my Channel 9 (or equivalent) syndicated viewing was both Star Treks, Friends, Simpsons, and Seinfeld, before I got too busy to watch TV that much around 2000.

The second issue is just as good - I'm waiting to buy #3 until whatever update/switcheroo thingy is going on with Comixology and IDW's apps is over with - and it's still following the basic storyline of the cartoon, with the battle of the bands in progress. All of the changes feel very organic to me - I could quibble

I've also seen it in syndicated reruns, but it's never been a standby in either of the markets I've

I want him to sing "My Lovely Horse."

What's he got to do with it?

Dad?

Oh, man, I don't see Wafflicious, so I suppose I should put some kickin' shoes on…

Oh, that is…wow. That is some pure distilled internet, right there.

And Jake 2.0!

They were Henry and his secret father, the original serial killer, John Wakefield, who was supposed to be dead. They were conspiring together for crazy lovelorn serial killer revenge purposes.

I was just doing work related to my store’s booth at the MN
State Fair, so that is indeed appropriate.
(Plastic trumpets, trombones, AND ukuleles this year, kiddies!)

My brain read "Beer Batter Oreos."

I thought - using that term loosely, because of the obvious problems with chronology - that photo of Will Arnett was of young Johnny Carson, somehow.

Katie Cassidy was very good here - ineffectively formatted SPOILERS - I was really miffed that Henry killed Trish. She had become a decent character by then, and the scene was written for maximum pathos, and I wanted Abby to find her and get her to the mainland in the nick of time, and then they could be
