    I guess. Still kind of cool for a movie made 75 years ago, I thought….

    Maybe someone wrote this already, but I'm not going back through 600+ comments, sorry … My favorite examples are several lines in "His Girl Friday": Cary Grant's character refers to Ralph Bellamy's character as looking like "that fellow in the movies, Ralph Bellamy." Grant mentions a guy he used to know named "Archie

    I like S.O.B., but am I alone in thinking it sounds like the theme to "The Jeffersons"?

    Gilbert doing his impression of Paul Williams having sex with Shirley Temple will, I think, leave you either aghast, puzzled or needing paramedics with a ventilator because you can't breathe for laughing.

    Recently Paul Williams was a guest on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, which may be the greatest thing currently on any known Internet. Thoroughly NSFW, or for listening to with your mother or any other sensitive person in the room: http://sideshownetwork.tv/g…

    In sixth-grade social studies class, we were watching a film about Russia that mentioned Boris Gudenov. After a decade of religiously watching Rocky and Bullwinkle, for the first time I got the joke about "Boris Badenov."

    I sent in $3 and, what a surprise, didn't win. I'll live… my non-obscene question would have been one that I'd like to ask all Republican candidates for any national office: Do you think the right side won the Civil War? If so, why. If not, why not.

    Norman Buntz (Dennis Franz) singlehandedly added about two seasons to the life of Hill Street Blues.

    How many Venezuelans know where Azerbaijan is?

    No, we missed him by a good foot and a half."

    From "The In-Laws" — "Serpentine!" and "At least we tried."

    Some Girls is fantastic, but not sure how underrated it is. It's the Stones' biggest-selling record, their first I believe to sell over a million copies, had hit after hit and about seven of its songs were unavoidable on the radio when it came out. And since.

    Pad this out by another thousand words or so, and you should be fine.

    OK, which is less interesting: This controversy or the NYTimes' recent story on the people who now regret naming their kids Atticus? Close call for me…

    Good point. I may be wrong, but I think you pay on the Skyway when you get off, not stopping while traveling…? You can use I-Pass on the Skyway, too.

    Tollways are a state thing, not a Chicago thing. To my knowledge (I live just outside the city) there are no toll plazas in the city. And if you have an I-Pass there's no stopping anyway.

    There's an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame http://countrymusichalloffa… on the musicians who recorded with Dylan (and after him, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Simon and Garfunkel, etc.) in Nashville in 1966 when doing so was basically unthinkable. Johnny Cash was also instrumental (sorry) at the same time in

    I knew I should have checked Wikipedia. Oh well.

    My recollection of the 45 single is that it had the "song" on side A and the na na na's on side B. Weird stuff for 1968…And totally unlike anything that was being played on the radio at the time. I think it's cool how you can hear Paul cueing the other band members when the refrain is starting… I don't think it's a
