Yeah, I was about ten years younger than you guys in the '80s, and while I was certainly informed of the issues (I mean, I did watch the topical episode of the Chipmunks where they met a brother and sister stuck on the opposite sides of the Berlin wall and for some reason I'm pretty sure the girl was dressed like a…

Yeah, speaking of propeganda, I wish this article didn't buy into the evangelical propeganda of labelling themselves "Christian" to the exclusion of all of the other Christian sects in the country (and world).

I have never seen someone take actual quotes from real linguists and then interpret them utterly incorrectly as much as in the linked article. Just "no" so many times.

I'm considering making a couple of new accounts so I can like this more than once.

Hmm, according to my extensive research (Wikipedia) Bob was given a commemorative medal from the province of Saskatchewan for his local telethon work. It's like your wife doesn't know her pivotal moments in Canadian history at all.

Okay, first of all, this NYT article from the '60s has my new favorite headline of all time, including the part where they spell his name wrong:

Even this guy hasn't been on since the '90s. It's Alan now.

Pair of nail clippers doesn't do arm/back massages or apply all the lotions or paint the nails or let you read its magazines for free while your nails dry. Although if you find one for $1.49 that can do all those things, let me know, because I will absolutely be purchasing one.

Youtube is telling me the video doesn't exist :(

I thought Dune technically was fine as a novel, but as a lady I kind of had an off-feeling while reading the whole thing that was pretty much confirmed when the last line was one female character saying to another something along the lines of "Don't worry! History will remember us as wives! You know, the most…

Perhaps they thought they were sending a telegram? (Baby Boomers did telegrams, right? Right?)

I'm totally going to co-opt pregnate for the rest of my current pregnatecy (pregnatedom?). As in "HEAR ME, PEOPLE OF THE TRAIN FOR I AM A PREGNATE. ONE OF YOU GET UP AND GIVE ME YOUR SEAT." (I am also co-opting all caps).

Enjoy this film folks, because this will be the last one. And by "one" I mean "film, book, TV series and every other form of entertainment." Because this was the last idea that there was for any of those things, and after this, it will be all used up.

Please refer back to my concluding paragraph, which begins "We can have criticisms of organized relgions…" :)

Normally I would say the Educated (Educatedite? What was it? Erudite? Smartypantsies?) group, but if I recall correctly, the Educated are the most evil (even more evil than the group that hangs around all day punching each other for no reason), so if anything they probably would make high blood pressure pills that…

Except that the money collected in a Catholic church is used to fund parish operations and social services. The diocese exists so that churches in wealthier neighborhoods can subsidize churches in poorer neighborhoods (who often receive said social services). People don't come into your home and check to see if you're…

The dystopian society in Divergent falls apart if you think about it for longer than negative five minutes. In that when your brain tries to piece it together in the first place, it just completely fails to cohesively form. Ugh.

::comes in late flailing Muppet arms in a panic::
Every Kate Bush song with a bagpipe! All of them! If I can only pick one then Night of the Swallow!
::collapses in a Muppet pile, but with the satisfaction of knowing that her duty has been done::

If they're smart, the next movie will star those three alone and be entitled Star Trek: The Other Guys Who Are There.

Well, there's always Charlie Chaplin. Who among all of his other things was famous for looking like and doing impressions of Hitler, according to my last three minutes on Wikipedia.
