He was “battling” rats which made me guffaw.

What a lot of national outlets aren’t discussing is that over 120,000 Minnesotans had already cast their ballots before this news ever hit. We have early and easy voting here; so if news comes out right before election day, well . . . there’s no backsies.

To answer “Why would a sibling then name their child after their estranged, homicidal sibling?” Jackie says to The Kid that she gave herself that name just to piss off her parents.

Bobby was also disowned by his ultra-conservative family as a teenager and moved out when he was still a kid. That guy had a fucking rough go of it and so if he wants to throw a hamburger or two then goddamnit I say pass the ketchup (the ketchup being attached to the burger in some way or at least in small packets in…

And, awesomely, ABBA cover band Bjorn Again did an EP of Erasure covers done in the style of ABBA called “Erasure-ish.”

I’ll say that they actually are fairly solid, writing-wise. I have a feeling most of this copy was given to Ann M. Martin to write according to Disney guidelines.

Best of Next Door found me a few months ago! It was quite a surprise to get all this traffic all of a sudden!

It wasn’t just sitcoms, either! The Baby-Sitters Club practically ran chapter-long ads for the Disney parks in several of their books!

I’d also like to point to her performance in the 1936 “Show Boat” where she and Paul Robeson OWNED each and every scene they were in.

I *strongly* recommend “Tales From the Static” by Ryan Healey. It’s an episode by episode breakdown of 80s horror anthology series “Static Screams” as pieced together from his memories of the show and online episode guides. The stories are spooky and low budget legit.

You really want Jason Bateman nostalgia, Google “Jason Bateman It’s Your Move.”

““““““““““““““““““““““““Joke””””””””””””””””””””””””

At least “Valerie/Valerie’s Family/The Hogan Family” made Valerie’s death a recurring thing the family had to cope with throughout the season. Like, it’d crop up and be a recurring bit of trauma for the family. And it was certainly never used as the setup for a JOKE.

IT ENDED WITH GINNY CRYING ABOUT LOSING HER VIRGINITY WE NEED AN ACTUAL RESOLUTION!

I was gonna jump on here and demand recognition for Will Errickson! “Too Much Horror Fiction” is a go-to good time blog.

Hey, Griffin acknowledged in the last ep that working that camera is HARD.

We get this *at my office!* We have an employee who is a manager and well into her fifties who was sent home because she was showing too much cleavage. She’s a very large woman with a very large chest and anything she wears is going to have a plunging neckline because physics. Still, someone decided that it was…

Seriously, fuck houses. Buying a house was and remains the stupidest decision I’ve ever made. I hate every aspect of home ownership. I hate that damn lawn. I hate that fucking basement. I hate that roof. I hate the stupid layout and the irritating floor. Fuck everything and everyone associated with them including my…

How dare anyone - ANYONE - boo Dr. Andrew Kiragu. That man has done so much for the children of Minnesota. He is a wonderful human being, a compassionate medical professional . . . it just burns me up.

Nailed it.
