Yes, Shamokin is a sad, depressed town in the middle of rural central Pennsylvania. However, it is home to the largest man-made mountain - a giant pile of coal slag! (Wish I were kidding).

I once saw him perform on Chic-a-go-go, which is a public access show in Chicago where anyone can come for free (although it's targeted towards kids) during the taping and just dance to whatever music is happening that day. It was a little awkward to dance to Neil Hamburger, but good times.

It seems they're trying again: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I bought single day tickets to Lollapalooza in 2008 and 2009 and they were only $80 per day back then. Is it really $40 better now? I'd think it is more crowded and more product placement-y, if possible, than ever before.

Jan Brady's other boyfriend.

Judging from the pronunciation in the trailer, it seems that all involved were too lazy to look up the correct way to pronounce "Appalachian."

Actually there is a thriving buggy shop near me in central PA, where there already exists a group that provides special immunity from "regular" market forces - the Amish.

Did anyone ever watch While You Were Out on TLC? It was a more gimmicky (if possible) Trading Spaces. The mom in this commercial was definitely the host for a season or two. It makes me sad for her acting career.

Do they have a city-wide pancake breakfast the Sunday before Christmas?

That performance looks like it took place in a suburban church basement.

According to that photo, it looks like an unfortunate side effect of cyberbulling is losing an arm.

How about settling for John Stamos not with a pet dog, but as a pet dog?

I still have and use my original iPod Mini, complete with its black and white screen. Although mine too is starting to get a little funky - mainly the battery life lasts like an hour.

I just hope that this reveal doesn't draw the public's attention away from Depression and mental illness. As someone who lost a parent to suicide, the discussions/articles online the past few days have been somewhat refreshing - taking a more open and honest look at how mental illness can affect anyone, how it affects…

There's room for two in my hot pink, tiny, battery-powered car.

Only acceptable if it's sized just right, so that my head is above the
Barbie logo-emblazoned windshield. Also the Pow-pow-power wheels! tune needs to constantly blast from the radio.

Where's my adult-sized Barbie Power Wheels?

She was in the original cast of Spring Awakening on Broadway. I remember liking her voice and thinking it was a bit more unique then typical "theatre singing voice."

I'm partial to the mascot of the Hillsboro Hops (town outside of Portland, OR). I believe he is a hop (as in, the plant used in beer brewing), but his name is Barley. It's all very confusing. But he's fun! Kind of looks like a pine cone.

I wish we at least knew WHERE in Africa this movie was supposed to take
place. But I guess it's all the same anyway right? Libya, South Africa,
Kenya - identical.
