Roberts—it's not even a contest. Cruise does have a pretty unsettling "smile" but Roberts' disproportionate maw is on a whole other level.

My mind also went immediately to the Weekly World News' famed Batboy. When I was in college, my roommates & I got a year-long subscription to the WWN—ironically, of course, but damned if I didn't end up reading it regularly. It was hilarious, & all the more so for very much knowing itself. It was in fact a…

That's a really good point, @persia2:disqus . Yes, there's still the risk of exploitation (from Hollywood?!?! The hell you say!), but we shouldn't assume it'll be exploitative. It might still suck (from Hollywood?!?! The hell you say!), but if the family is OK with it, & it brings a little of that filthy lucre…

Close—it's true that it'd basically follow the 3rd declension neuter pattern of words like nōmen, but since Seth Rogen is a male human being, the neuter law would not come into play, so you'd get the standard masculine/feminine nominative & accusative forms, like so:

Neither one of 'em was ever that thin.

Doesn't he always pretty much look like that, though?

Leonard Pierce already reviewed most of this year's albums.

If you do nothing else, just watch her scenes from La Dolce Vita. "Sexy" doesn't even come close.

Fuck my cock!

The first record I remember purchasing with my own money was the Who compilation Hooligans, the summer between 6th & 7th grade (so, '82). The first record I remember owning (a Christmas present from my parents) is KISS Destroyer. My (2-yrs) older brother got Love Gun that same Christmas, which (IIRC) was their…

Well, some people do believe that Andy Kaufman faked his own death, so….

He has time for both!

Kinda like Rush Limbaugh calling the First Lady "Moo-chelle" or referring to her as a linebacker.

Maybe I'm being obtuse, but it doesn't seem like the idea that money = success squares with RAtM's alleged ethos. Apart from it being a childish dick move, it's almost as if he doesn't understand his own beliefs.

What about someone just a little more funky?

The more I think about it, the more I conclude that she must be playing dumb. If his crimes were as rampant as it sure looks like they were, I can't see how she could remain ignorant. What I can see is someone who probably likes the lifestyle being Mrs. Bill Cosby affords her, maybe to the point that she'd turn a…

Your first mistake was being a regular person instead of a rich celebrity.

Let's not forget that he must have had plenty of abettors. Seriously—do you believe that his wife, even, had no idea this was going on?

That's probably the most striking thing about all this, @wo:disqus—the deafening silence. A few weeks ago, I had Cicero's comment about Catiline—Cum tacent, clamant*—as one of the Latin phrases of the day in one of my classes. I wondered whether I should take it there, & as someone who also grew up with Cosby, it…

I'd have to give it some thought, but "The Rain Song" might be the only Zep tune where Bonzo uses brushes. I have yet to master switching from brushes to sticks (& back, a couple times) fluidly enough, but I'm working on it.
