A rumor I heard or read several years ago — back before everybody had the internets and the googles and the snopes on their desk, back when a rumor was a RUMOR — and I'm not making this up, nor am I being paid by Davis Allan Coe to pad his myth with murky hearsay — was that David Allan Coe has a tattoo of a…

What's there to "get" about people feeling sad for Adriana's death? People feel empathy for these characters, in spite of the justified moral condemnation of them. Or they don't. If your moral indignation directed at these monsters is too strong to feel a shred of sympathy for them, then more power to you. But it's…

The voice of Karen Carpenter… ahhhhh….
This goes WAY back in my childhood and my subconscious… I'm a 47 y/o man, the Carpenters' hits were coming out when I first started noticing the songs on the radio in the bedroom I shared with my older brother, and … well, my theory is that my mommy's voice when I was a infant…

He may be all hat when he's performing, Victor Mature, but offstage, he's not afraid of a little male pattern baldness. Gotta respect a man for that.

Stiffs Live!
Waaaoouugh! Hooliday Inn Bristol!

Well, yeah, Steve Albini sounds like Albino which sounds like Lilly-White, so of course I made that same mistake, and also Steve Martin's hair is white, so…

Yep. Heard that song throughout the 70's on FM stations, though never once on Casey Kasem's American Top 40.

Thanks for the link, Dumble.

Sleepless in Seattle: Meg Ryan unceremoniously dumps perfectly nice, loving fiancee, because he's got allergies. And because he's not a total stranger she's convinced she's "meant" to be with. Fiancee takes dumping like a strong, silent chump, because any…

Sleepless in Seattle: For a stalker flick, kind of boring
Meg Ryan was perfect as the evil psycho who dumps her loving fiancee to stalk some random guy on the other side of the country. Tom Hanks was excellent with his "why ME, of all people?" looks of terror. Especially when he realizes his own unbearable demon-spawn…

@Chubby Chasee, re women doing cruches video: That's not my favorite image that has nothing to Obama telling moms to go to school but is only intended to catch the eye. My favorite one of those is that "is he Jesus or Manson?" guy.

@Jeff Dunham: the reverse is true for me, usually: I love a nonsensical band name, at first. But if their music is shitty, the name quickly gets irritating instead of funny.

@citizen christy: I read "Christian deformed college". Eyes must be getting old…

Aqualad: Twee is an adjective meaning "overly quaint, dainty, cute or nice" (Wiktionary). If you use twee as a noun, however, it means you're a gay.

No, no, You're thinking of "Godzilla vs. Rodanthe."

Come on, people! It's a dog! Wearing sunglasses! I'm cracking up just thinking about it! Plus, it looks like they're Ray-Bans! Which means that he's KEWL!
