So I says "Hey, that's no lady! That's my wife!"

I had never known the reason why it was always Parliament/Funkadelic. Never one or the other. I'm really interested in reading this book, now, being a big 60's/70's music nerd. Hopefully Santa throws it my way too.

The comic you're thinking of is Todd Barry, Hunter.

What's a Tim Conway?

I think reading The Running Man (years after seeing the movie) really gave me my first "What The Fuck" moment in literature. I enjoyed it though, it's a confusing read, but it has it's moments. He does seem to have a knack for giving confusing and almost arbitrary endings. The giant space turtle in IT comes to mind.

I have a couple of them, and it's really interesting to see how blunt they are with the ideas they're presenting. Silver Surfer is basically a stand-in for Jesus (almost every issue begins or ends with him looking at the sky and wondering why the humans don't accept his gifts of love), or Iron Man being the sole form…

Is 'e 'avin a laugh? IS 'E 'AVIN A LAUGH?!

I'm probably in the vast minority here, but my favorite work of sci-fi short fiction has always been The Illustrated Man, by Ray Bradbury. I read it for the first time on my 15th or 16th birthday, after my brother gave me his old battered copy.

My first real real job was at the local movie theatre as an usher. It was an exciting time, because they were just doing the upgrade from four theatres to nine. The one song that always brings me back to those days was Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas. It was the song playing over the credits for Anchorman, and all the…

They did that already. It was called Mafia. The controls were a little rough, but it was a solid "drive here, shoot this guy" kind of game. Tommy guns everywhere.

The name didn't tip anyone off.

Bum budda bum buh bum bump BAAAA!!!!!!!

That was the joke, yes.

Ha ha ha…

That thing you do…
I loved that movie, and I suspect I still would if I saw it again.

"And how about that climax?"

I'm not your buddy, friend.

Isn't that KOOL guy Blue Lou, from the Blues Brothers?

Best. Manual. Ever.
