…darn it, I'd gone years without thinking about "Enos."

And it's what Carvey himself would say about his Ross Perot. "I get up on stage and say, 'jibber jabba jibber jabba; jibber jabba jibber jabba' and people come up to me and say 'oh you sound just LIKE him!'"

This chain of events in Wizard Magazine years ago always depressed me:
1. Some kid writes in wanting to know whether Cyclops could accidentally blast off his own penis if he looked down in the bathroom.
2. Wizard guy takes question to Marvel spokesman, who says something like "He sure could! He's gotta be real careful

Back in 1998, an editor leaned over my desk and said, "From now on, when you're done writing, go back through your story and take out at *least* every third comma." And then he walked away.

I miss the days when Sonic's menu was simple enough that it would offer the No. 1 burger (mayo, no mustard), the No. 2 burger (mustard, no mayo) and THEN a cheeseburger. I think that all got dropped when the chain's menu displays had to make room for "We have 25 kinds of shakes, along with more than a million drink

I searched for "Tracy Morgan" in hopes I'd find my choice for most sustained laughter, the sketch that ruined "Life is a Highway" for me forever:

One of the biggest conceptual problems with "The Artist" was Peppy Miller's entire movie career, which was supposedly wildly entertaining but which we, the audience, only caught in bits and pieces. I felt like, "I'm tired of this mopey guy sitting in his house! I want to see one of Peppy's movies!"

John Goodman was also in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" that year, and part of the reason I hate that movie so very very much is that Goodman was vastly less interesting and memorable in it than in "The Artist," a movie that deprived him of the use of his voice.

…maybe just "kind of stupid"? If I *were* a masochist, I'd get a lot more enjoyment out of the occasional "find this and post it for me" comments from YouTube users.

They were from before the show premiered, so, yeah, it's fun seeing what is basically "We have this new show called 'Malcolm in the Middle' and we really hope you'll give it a try."

Yeah, my YouTube account is largely stuff from old VHS tapes, and it's been fascinating to see what does and doesn't fly:
1. A Nickelodeon "U-Pick Live" with a complete live performance of "Accidentally In Love": OK with shared content
2. A bunch of "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays" clips with a voiceover during the "Powerpuff

I WAS SO CLOSE TO POSTING THIS

I'd say that for most of the strip's run, Charlie Brown was mostly exasperated by Snoopy (even going so far as to gloat and sing when Snoopy missed his suppertime) and Snoopy was much happier in his own little world with Woodstock, his "friend of friends."

As much as I like to complain about Wizard Magazine, I loved their mid-1990s "Casting Call" suggestions for Reed (Richard Dean Anderson) and Sue (Gail O'Grady).

Technically, those first Negative costumes were black, but the highlights on them were blue, so most everybody (including me) thought they were blue. I'd been reading "Fantastic Four" for about a year* when issue 286 was released, and John Byrne makes a point of having a revived Jean Grey say something like, "The last

First CD my family ever owned was the soundtrack to "Beverly Hills Cop 2," which my brother won from a radio station. That was mid-1987. We didn't get a CD player until Christmas 1988, after my dad was confident that compact discs weren't just a novelty item.

No love for the new sheriff's ice cream cone?

Ant-Man in public: "The ants don't consider themselves my slaves! The ants are my friends and my partners! They're my little allies!"

The "Tom the Dancing Bug" strip with Aunt-Man's one weakness — "the inability to comprehend temporal size changes" — is an instant classic. http://www.gocomics.com/tom…
