truth.

this is perfect.

Let us ask Alex Jones!

Harrison Ford has never won an Oscar?

Apparently Hemingway wrote about it at length in one of his last novels, "A Moveable Feast."

There may be more truth to this than you realize. Fitzgerald was notoriously insecure about his body, if you know what I mean. He once confided to Hemingway that he worried about being smaller than most men. Hemingway took him into a closet and the two compared bodies.

I thought everyone knew that was Jasper's last name…

Todd is reviewing Classic Simpsons! This is great! What happened to Nathan?

As for me:
- "Through the Looking Glass" (I've read "Alice" probably twenty times, but "Looking Glass" is lovelier, more haunting and, dare I say, more sinister)
- "The Phantom Tollbooth"
- "The Phoenix & the Carpet," by E. Nesbit - fabulous, hilarious story about a trio of quarreling children, a pompous bird, and a…

Those are some great books, though they take a while to get going.

The Phantom Tollbooth and Gormenghast. Yes and yes.

"No, no, wait!" {blows dust off the cover}

@avclub-5a1c0dcc8243c086c74ee944052f6f0f:disqus Totally agreed on Simpsons, Shakespeare, and the King James Bible. I can't think of any cultural achievement that rivals those - at least in terms of quotability - though personally I would have to throw in the Lord of the Rings films.

@avclub-8856638da4354266a53ba0fe9aef68dd:disqus Exactly. And personally, I prefer the Bat Man - a strong man who fights crime nocturnally!

Alright, let's start making a definitive list. Are we stopping at the end of the 20th century? In no particular order then:

Seriously. I love the Beatles, but I got so sick of seeing hagiographies about them made by aging journalists. That's one thing I'm not going to miss about getting older. Instead, we'll have endless documentaries about Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings films, and, I don't know, the Killers.

I don't know about Superman. The Beatles, maybe. There isn't a whole lot in pop culture that can compete with The Simpsons.

I remember watching The Simpsons when I was a small boy in 1991 and 1992. My parents viewed it as nothing more than an extremely inappropriate cartoon - this seems to have been the general impression of the show at the time - and banned me from watching it. Probably a wise decision for someone who was only the same…

This is the only joke that could possibly be better than "Crack heads"

Crack heads! Brilliant
