I watched a hell of a lot of the first day on live TV.  I tuned in for the verdict, saw the first stirrings of the eventual riot and watched it get completely out of control.  I thought it was pretty neat to be witnessing history in the making until I saw Reginald Denny get his head bashed in.  Then the guy whose name…

Since when is it OK for adults to read children's books other than The Phantom Tollbooth?

I like to think that the tramp who gets offed in ep. 2 is Pigbin Josh's older brother.

The one that got the most dramatic re-enactments by my sister and me was "Pyramids of Mars" 2.  We always rendered Sarah Jane's screaming as "HOCTA! HOCTA!"

It slipped my mind that it wouldn't have included DMP, which was never sold abroad.  That's one of the enduring curiosities of the missing episodes.  Why do we have 3 episodes of DMP and not one second of "Marco Polo", the most widely sold serial?

It's recently come to light that much, if not all of season 3 existed in Sierra Leone as recently as 1991.  War has been unkind to the missing Hartnell episodes.

It's still kind of surprising to me how universal the waxing has become.  20 years ago, you had to go looking next to the magazines full of pictures of tied-up women with clothespins on their nipples to find the niche publications like Shaved and Slick.  Now I imagine that you have to search for something like Big…

But if I erase a thread, wipe out a whole reasonable discussion, then I become like them. I'd be no better than Disqus.

Do I have the right? Simply click "Post as The Increasingly Manic Tom Bak" and that's it. The "Showing 0 Reasonable Discussions" ceases to exist.

Not only are flour tortillas not OK, one corn tortilla is not OK.  It must be two, preferably pressed by hand and grilled on a comal while you watch.

It's a co-requisite with Drawing on Denim With Sharpie.

Unlicensed "Doctor Who" shirts are awesome.

Which Incubus?

Graham Kerr's "Galloping Gourmet" show from the early 70s wasn't too far off from your scenario.

Before I was 21, I drank when I could get it. I smoked a lot of weed though, because in spite of its illegality, it was a lot easier to get than booze.

There are a lot of 5th, 6th and 7th Doctor serials left, so Christopher will definitely be covering a ton of shitty serials.

If there's not a callback to "The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon" the Old West episode, I'm going to be pissed.

It's so awesome they used it for at least one cliffhanger in every serial during his tenure.

They stand for mysteries unsolved, enigmas unanswered, conundrums
requiring an answer.

In the 1980s midwest, accumulations of empty Mountain Dew cans and cigarette butts were a reliable indicator of where the local juvenile delinquents hung out.
