Or, "I Love Boat."

I, Love Boat.

It's Michael Bay for me. Completely overrated—edits a film like he's getting paid by the cut. But Armageddon I like. I read an article in the late 90s written by William Goldman where he wrote about Armageddon (paraphrasing): "The pacing is forced and too fast, and the story panders to your emotions, but by the end of…

Overall, I liked it, except Mark-Paul Gosselaar is obviously too old to play the best player on an MLB team. I mean, he looks younger than his actual age (42), but he doesn't look THAT much younger. It be more realistic if he were the manager.

Did you read/listen to the Scientific American link? Women are hitting 80+ mph now. Are you only counting the softball-style underhand throwing? Where did you get the 69mph number?

Except that's not how you throw a circle change-up. In that case, your thumb and forefinger form a circle but are not on the ball—they are next to the ball and only three fingers are on the ball. The way her dad teaches her to throw the screwball is exactly how Hector Santiago of the Minnesota Twins throws his.…

I thought NBC's slogan was "Come To NBC," which I did whenever Markie Post was on.

I don't hate them, but goddamn, are they overrated.

In the early 80s in Indianapolis I remember a burger joint that used to feature a "Bully Burger." I can't remember the name (I'm guessing it was related to Teddy Roosevelt?)—I do remember that it wasn't a fast food place. I'm assuming this was a chain of some sort. Does anyone remember/know what the name of the place…

Rax was awesome!

Do you remember the vampire masks they gave out, I think as part of the Funmeals that same year?

And the Midwest.

I grew up in Indianapolis, and my family ate at Burger Chef on a regular basis. I remember it being quite good. And as a kid, I LOVED their Funmeals—they always came with creative stuff to play with (puzzles, character masks, etc.). Even as a child, I recogized that McDonald's was ripping off Burger Chef when it…

"Faithfully" was played on MTV rather….faithfully. "Oh Sherrie" did indeed receive a crapton of airplay, but "Separate Ways" and "Faithfully" did, too. Simply being on MTV (and getting played in the power rotation, which those videos were) was enough to be helped by MTV (e.g. 80s British New Wave, ZZ Top, etc.).

Did you actually read and understand the article you linked??

I like to think of that as Dylan continuing with "..so you should use them. I sure as hell don't."

You could just support one proposition: "You're not a pretentious assbag."

What in the HELL are you talking about? The video era was very good to Journey—what hurt them was infighting within the band (Schon and Perry, mainly). Perry did a solo album in between Frontiers and Raised On Radio which obviously kept him from doing a Journey album. Raised On Radio was a huge success, then the band…

I'm enjoying a Bartles and James myself.

I just got around to watching the mockumentary. It reminded me how much I really, really miss Dick Clark.
