Every couple of hundred years, huh? Really playing the long game with the sequel, I guess.

Ahh… I remember when 'Hear This' and 'Watch This' were the derided new features, bringing an unwelcome, gauche tone to the AV Club features page.

It was especially confusing because Billy Joel actually did name his son “Sometimes A Fantasy” (I don't know how he talked Christie Brinkley into it, but I assume it involved a lot of cocaine).

You're right, @bettolman:disqus , @George_Liquor:disqus would have a much easier time outfitting a rocket launcher onto a Land Rover Range Rover. But I think you were wrong to presume he/she has an interest in online sticker sales. Rather I think the sticker salesperson was an implied rocket target. You might want to…
