Well, I'll admit we live in a Fred Berry-less world and that does suck, but Rerun will live on forever in…

Great movie.

Looks good to me!

They have maybe the best resolution version of the Star Wars Holiday Special online.

Beppo?

Well, I remember enjoying it.

Man, Dipsy really was the best dancer.

GOATSE7? I think one was enough for most of us.

Coco Rico!

Oh, please, please, please, please, please!

No excuse now, young people:

Thanks, everybody. You're exactly why I wish I had more time to spend here.

Happy New Year, everybody! I'd hoped to be more of a presence here, but personally 2016—unlike the shitshow it was for America and the world—was maybe the best year of my life (there's got to be a German word for the guilt I feel, right?): tenure for me, promotions for my wife and me, and, after years of trying, our…

It's well worth the effort/cost. We used to go every year until we moved away and even flew back for it one year. I just wish we'd been there the year Elaine came back for the full Trip reunion.

I never saw Over the Top (someday, I promise!) but already hated that kid at the time for ruining my favorite soap, General Hospital. Oh, how I wanted to punch him! (I was a child at the time too so it was okay, right? Right?)

Yeah, even our reasonably-maintained Calphalon knives took the wind out of our friends' sails when they tried their presentations on us.
