Barely adequate job, Internet!

That sucks, Kirk—I'm sorry. And I don't get why this whole thing bothers people—don't do the challenge if you don't want to, don't watch the videos, ignore the calls to donate. Do what you want—just don't bitch when others do the same. It's no skin off your nose.

Maltin's WTF episode was really good.

Yeah, her parents were immigrants*, but she was born & raised in Scotland.

I've always thought it was weird that they had regular old Christmas.

The A.V.Club

My feelings aren't that strong, but I've always felt like it was too silly-sounding. Maybe it feels, I don't know, lazy?

You're all barking up the wrong tree.

The Wye Oak or GTFO.

Sorry to stick pins in your balloons, but TTTOI stands up a hill in a quiet residential neighborhood, & so will never attract the attention of developers. But maybe there's a chance your dream could become a reality. I dunno, maybe a cell phone tower?

I wish Disqus were like facebook & we could block people like this. Guh.

Funny! There aren't very many of us, so it's possible. Honestly, in my years here, I've dropped enough personal details that anybody who knows me could easily tell it's me, & anybody inclined to find me online could probably do it without much difficulty. Good thing I'm not paranoid!

Pretty cool that MJ tips JB off that Prince is in the crowd, though. That's a class move.

YES! That's a fantastic clip. I shared it on the facebooks, & it turns out one of my friends was actually AT THAT SHOW.

"Computer Blue" is probably the weakest song on Purple Rain, & it's still better than most.

…but I sincerely wanna fuck the taste out of your mouth.
Can you relate?

Back when I was in college in the early '90s, I was on a roadtrip with a friend (to Greensboro, NC, of all places). At one point we were stopped behind a car that had a UNIVERSITY OF MARGARITAVILLE sticker in the back window. It might have been the first one I'd ever seen, but in any case I found it mildly amusing,…

I teach Latin, & I canNOT believe I've never thought of this. I'm stealing your bit, @cpbananas:disqus!
