Getting here hours too late for a firstie, I knew I had no chance at that, but yes, the only reason I clicked through was to see this picture. I didn't otherwise read a word of the article—in fact, I only read the first two words in the headline.

My thoughts exactly—Astin is a smart lefty activist. WTF indeed!

What's even worse is that, if this album is 29 years old, that makes ME…

It doesn't say Licensed to Ill was the first hip-hop album. It says it is "widely considered the first hip-hop album to ever top the Billboard charts". (Added the boldface for emphasis, I did.)

My kids (now aged 7 & 10) have been in a Garfield phase for….Jesus, I can't even remember. I swear it's been, what, two years?

Especially when you consider the crazy amount of $$$ Watterson would have made off of it—not Sparky Schulz money, maybe, but a considerable sum.

Yeah, I think it's pretty well established that guys don't witness it much because, when a guy is around, the douchebags tend to keep their yaps shut.
