I believe Mr. Saxaphone-playin' smoker…
… is "Blue" Lou Marini from the SNL / Blues Brother's band. You know the cook in the Aretha Franklin scene who rips off his hair net and wails the mean sax, man. So perhaps there was some semi-celebrity appeal??

I heart Pixar - saw Ratatouille 3 times in the theater. I haven't done that since I was trying to force myself to like Phantom Menace and failing every viewing.

Frank Lloyd - is your avatar Donald Sutherland from Murder By Decree???

Oh, you mean my cane?!

I've heard that about him, o.y.m. An all around great human being, that one.

Ah, to be acerbic and young *sigh*

Um, my bleeding-heart-liberal-ass curled up in a ball and pretended that Martin Sheen was really the president for most of the Bush years… so…. yeah. That magnificent Catholic bastard Bartlet gets my vote any time he wants it.

Love the avatar Oh You Men… just a side note.

The West Wing is responsible for all of my American government knowledge because I skipped government in school. Thanks, Aaron Sorkin!

My sister and I still quote from the Teen Girl Squad…

Holy crap! What was I doing sleeping last night!
Clearly more important things were happening.

Hear, hear, Tom Waits!

Um…

Ah, the glory days of girls-only board games…
Mall Madness… Dream Phone… Apples to Vaginas… *sigh* We hardly knew ye.

In my experience, people here in Colorado hate the supposedly local brew Coors (any variety), but we cream our pants for a wide variety of craft and micro-brews… myself included. In fact, most people I know would rather drink just about anything before Coors, even the dreaded Keystone.

Hooray for nerdy commenters getting laid! Take that, stand-up-comedians!

Every guy I have dated who has been into goth/industrial/metal has had a thing for Tori - she did date Trent Reznor, after all. I strongly identified with her when I was like 16 - she's got a main-line into the inner workings of brooding adolescent/teenage girls - but these days I only admit I like her in friendly…

Sweet, sweet Ken Marino. *sigh* By far the best thing about "The Ten" - and have you guys seen "Diggers"? Pretty damn good if you ask me.

OH MY GOD, The Rev, that was the WORST movie - the freakin' Kevin Kline house movie… uhg. Hayden Christensen was "bad" because he had piercings… oooohh!

I had a European history teacher in high school who claimed that B&T's Excellent Adventure was the greatest movie of all time, and that any other movie was the worst movie of all time.
