And of course, prices simply MUST go up every year, right? Because rising tides trickle down or some such shit?

I had no one teaching me social and emotional skills like this in the 70s and 80s, but something like that would’ve helped me a lot as a kid raised by a mentally ill and otherwise abusive person. I ended up being afraid of all adults, even after I became an adult. I was terrified of authority, of being punished for…

We totally, like, did this before: Puttin’ on The Hits.

Surely Maher was trolling. C’mon. Ignore him.

I'm old enough to have seen the film The Wiz at its first run in movie theaters in 1978 (my 3rd grade class went on a field trip to see it). Even then we knew Diana Ross was too old to play Dorothy. Too bad Stephanie Mills didn't have enough star power for the film. Stephanie Mills at least deserves a cameo in this…

I have actually been looking for a dresser doily to protect the top of an antique chest of drawers (1910!) I recently acquired, and not even the various "Aunt Sally's" boutiques in town seem to have them. :|

This is from at least 1975. When I was little, maybe 6, I saw the commercial and asked my guardian, "What's VD? Is it candy?" It was the only time I ever saw her blush.

Totally. I've seen clips of her in the 1930s in a low-budget movie where she led her terrific jazz choir, and I could only shake my head at how underutilized she was in Hollywood in front of the camera, if not behind it. So she wasn't gorgeous. She had charisma, presence and talent. Hollywood can be so dumb.

Dammit, we need a Kay Thompson in entertainment today.

And the stations themselves, especially in Manhattan, are just so many piles of leaky concrete and rusting metal, even the more recently refurbished stations. They're in terrible shape in a way that they weren't when I arrived 20 years ago. Surely 20 years is too short a time for this to occur.

I want to know what he uses on his hair. We have the same sort of hair and my curls/waves have never behaved as well as his. And the answer he gave at the Google talk when Mandatory Fun came out, about how he just uses whatever his wife puts in the shower, is not the answer I wanted to hear. :(

I was definitely the only one in my old nerdy girl group back in the day who went for A) young Ralf Hütter, and B) young Michael Palin. My friends preferred Wolfgang Flür and Eric Idle, respectively, who I suppose were cute, but neither of them did anything for me.

Aha, so THIS is what Kraftwerk's Computerliebe was about.

Perhaps it's Kimmel's clever way of showing how Uptown Funk is basically a watered-down Morris Day and the Time song?

It's almost like a willful ignorance of the true human status; we are meat sacks like all other animals, and not solely our minds and imaginations.

I have a pre-WW2 flat with some serious old school plasterwork and an odd layout; not quite an L shape. Currently, the router is in my foyer and gives a great signal to the living room and kitchen, which are across from it, but down the hallway to my bedroom in the back, the signal is weak af.

So what we're seeing here is that Ted Turner is too cheap to hire researchers for his networks? I mean, HELLO! Google exists!

At the end of that Today clip, did you notice she was trying to reach for the wine while in Billy Bush's arms?

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

Yay! More Joel McCrea for me!
