Strange, in'it, that the most quoted song from one of the most famously transgressive albums in history is pretty much anti-abortion? And how the most venomous song on the album is savaging David Johansen?

Oh, those guys are still out there to this day. It's all a matter of degree though: how much are you pretending to be bisexual, and what are your actual aims?

I've never seen it in a theater or otherwise. I'm gonna have to give it another twenty years, I think. People have already ruined it, same way that growing up in the United States made me avoid 'The Holy Grail' like the fucking plague until my late twenties.

Mitchell!

Distaff opinion here: I've only seen this movie at home, and I think it's a pretty good time, considering.

Cheap Trick had at least four good albums. I'll leave it to the rest of you to collectively determine which ones they were.

Al Lettieri in "Mr. Majestyk": pure oily menace.

"Turkey Chase" rules.

Shortly after (this) Warren Oates posted something about the many great movies of (actor) Warren Oates, I went on a Warren Oates/Sam Peckinpah renting spree with the Netflix there.

Christ, is that where I got the word "morphodite"?

Awright charlie; "recent" hit, then.

Michele Branch?

Good lord. Am I gonna see that posting in other comment threads now, too?

I'm waitin' here for th' white pudding sausage!
