Chicken feet are indeed not scary. Nor are they edible.

Classic case of Network Decay.

Those snooty paleontologists and zoologists with their fancy degrees and ivory towers, they are all well aware that the sasquatch, yeti, and Loch Ness Monster are all quite real, but they cover up the evidence because they don't want to admit they were wrong all this time! And not one of them is willing to break

Username-comment synergy: infinite!

Yes actually, I like it a lot, it's a great time capsule of gonzo underground humor and you can see how it prepared the ZAZ team for making Airplane. I didn't put it on the list because it's kind of obscure, more of an influential cult classic than a huge hit like the others. I didn't see it until decades later, and

What? You didn't feel the pain of every rich famous Hollywood hunk who drives a Ferrari and crashes at the Chateau Marmont where random gorgeous women flash their breasts and jump his bones? He's an artist man, why can't everyone just see past his ludicrously wonderful circumstances and appreciate the ennui within

As always, the question to ask is:

Most of the worst ones are drive-by Disqus trolls. We would never see most of them here again, even without the coming Kinjapocalypse.

"I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies."

My favorite comedy films are mostly from that era, and I was only in grade school and too young to be watching R-rated comedies - but my parents loved those movies so they showed them to me anyway on VHS video.

There is definitely a generation gap at work here. I won't presume to guess which generation you are from, but your assessment seems to be popular with Millennials. For a lot of Boomers like my parents and for Generation X'ers like me, the American comedy film lodestars of the 70's and early 80's might come from

It would have been a very different film if they had stuck with Doug Kenney's original idea of a coming-of-age comedy about the caddies, and I wonder how well it would have done. The film might have been heartfelt and realistic, or it might be justly forgotten as just another 80's boner movie.

I hit "Post" and the very next comment I loaded was yours. Great minds, etc.

There is a 1979 movie called How to Beat the High Cost of Living with basically the same plot. Susan St James, Jessica Lange, and Jane Curtin play broke women who scheme to steal cash from a shopping mall in Eugene, Oregon. It's an interesting artifact of its time - a time marked by hyperinflation we just don't see

In Soviet Russia, mouth smashes you!

in the jungles of Costa Rica, for instance, where humidity routinely tops 90 percent, simply moving around outside when it’s over 105 degrees Fahrenheit would be lethal. And the effect would be fast: Within a few hours, a human body would be cooked to death from both inside and out.

There is an entire episode of Gravity Falls based on that exact premise: a boy band whose blond blue-eyed members were secretly cloned in a lab and trained to crank out bubble gum pop for tween girls.

It has just been replaced by a new building, but the old Berkeley Art Museum at UC Berkeley really did look like the hidden lair of a villain from a Connery Bond flick.

Regarding point #4, as always in any discussion of the legality / morality of secession, this Shakespeare quote sums it up pretty well:

Bleeped out? How will we even be able to tell?
