Everything comes full circle.

"Disney Princesses" as a collective unit is a relatively new marketing gimmick. When I was a kid there were only three of them, the last one had come out 25 years earlier, and they were far outnumbered by Disney non-princess movies (which, granted, often lacked female characters at all).

I think that the key phrase in your comment is "over the past decade." A lot has changed in that decade. The Internet on both left and right is far more toxic and bitter than it was even 2-3 years ago, let alone ten years ago.

I am no reality fan myself, but I think it is fair to say that the appeal of competition-based reality shows (including The Apprentice, whatever one may think of subsequent real-world developments) is not wholly different from the appeal of your (and my) beloved game shows.

That was my only qualm - if he is Lobsters, he had mastered proper capitalization at some point.

I thought for a while that this guy might be Lobsters, but Daffy Dick (who was also thought to be Lobsters) has resurfaced lately, so who knows?

I went to a dance just the other night; everybody there was there.

Did you know Roy Firestone had a comedy act on the side in which he did impersonations of the Bee Gees?

I think that, as with a lot of rock and roll songs (especially from that era), we are supposed to think the singer is himself of high school age (slightly more believable for Burnette than for Ringo).

That is actually in my potential Hatesong top five.

Or did. The oldies format is (at least on terrestrial radio) pretty much dead.

You know, the original wasn't exactly non-violent.

Vago can write about whatever he wants, but this did seem like a pretty boring story without any real angle to make it interesting, since the prophecies were so specific and so obviously false. Everyone else seems to like it, though, so I defer to their judgment.

I interpret the tweet as maybe meaning that Splett the character was told that he could not violate copyright. That would be a pretty complicated but clever joke if that was the true intention.

It really kind of bothers me that those articles ended with "via Jezebel" and "via Esquire." That is like "The Royals won the World Series last year - via espn.com" or "Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee - via NBC News." I realize that what happened on Jeopardy! last night is not common knowledge on

I missed a few of the early-season episodes, so I have a question: Was there some previous bad blood between Neal and Michele? I guess I come from a kind of prudish background where I have to be really angry at someone before I even think of dropping a swear word, but even aside from that, his delivery was weird and

She will be out for revenge on Trebek after this.

That is actually not a bad suggestion - certainly better than most of the other names I have occasionally heard bandied around.

I believe this is what they call a tease.

Late in the last millennium - it was still 2000.
