In case I needed any more proof that nobody over 20-years-old reads this website, it was indeed a Steve Martin joke from the 70s.

yeah, i realized immediately after that it's obviously the title of the dance marathon episode of gilmore girls rather than the cotillion. because amy sherman-palladino is brilliant. and the puns in the titles of episodes of gossip girl have never made any sense at all, ever.

the episode of gilmore girls where Rory goes to cotillion was called "they shoot gilmores, don't they?"
and then Lorelei has a threesome with Luke and Hilary Duff.

My brother had a 2nd-grade-level chapter-book called "the Berenstain bears and the drug-free zone" that made me afraid of pills into my early twenties. you guys, i haven't crashed my bike on drugs one time.

I'm with you, Deus. For the most part, this album is easily one of my top five, but there are a few tracks that genuinely make me cringe (read: Smokey Day). I missed their Odessey and Oracle anniversary concert in London this spring by about 4 days.

a friend of mine is set on "come sail away" by styx with a laser light show that starts right at the moment you realize it's about aliens

I'd like to submit that my lifetime grudge IS Ayn Rand. Not the av club commenter but the novelist, whom i intend to detest with an eternal rage.

next year's oscar pool, i'm putting all my money on "a blaffair to rememblack"

green hornet. man, i keep doing that. i actually got a friend pretty geeked about an up-coming green lantern film before i realized what i was saying.

The new wave can be really great, but it can also be boring as shit. I'm actually an enormous fan of the "cinema of quality" in the 30s and 40s —- a lot of which assholes write off without ever seeing just because the ulta-hip new wave was made as a response to it. The films of the 30s were a response, though, not to…

my favorite recently is using "geeked" as an adjective or "geek" as a verb. example: "I'm actually pretty geeked about gondry directing the green lantern." or "when i gave jeffrey a cd of 8bit christmas songs, he completely geeked his pants."

it's an adult photo, kenneth.
adult? like, you're driving a car and wearing a suit?

Pete! Oh, I've missed him. But where's his charisma?

wasn't there a show on mtv in the late 90s where some craig-kilbourn-y guy judged people's relationships? then i think at the end they decided whether or not to stay together? keep in mind that i was 11 for most of 1999.

I think he's hilarious, but that's not the point. I would never qualify him as pretentious. The opposite of pretentious, actually. Pretentious is more like trying too hard, like purposefully excluding the logical progression between set-up and punchline, or excluding the punchline all together, assuming that the…

Oh what's that? MC Lyte just murdered Danny Bonaduce? Thanks, PHONE.
