Chris Harrison of The Bachelor was the guest host on Live with Kelly last week, and during a discussion of that Taco Bell where people can get married for $600, he said something like, “They’re missing an obvious tie-in here. Nothing at Taco Bell costs more than a dollar, right? Everything at Taco Bell is a dollar or…

I do sympathize with Netanyahu. I mean, Trump says he's Netanyahu's good friend, and Carly Fiorina says SHE'S Netanyahu's good friend, but Trump and Fiorina do NOT get along, so you just KNOW that when their study group gets together at the student union that he has to be the one to smooth their hurt feelings. He's…

As an Arkansan, may I also direct you to the pages of Marcus Monk and his younger brother, Malik? Marcus Monk (a former University of Arkansas player who turned pro) apparently urged his basketball-standout younger brother to attend Kentucky instead, and HOO BOY do those pages draw some angry people.

Some years ago, I contributed to a page for author/columnist Chris Sims, back when he was a comic-store guy who ran the Invincible Super-Blog. I think I and everyone else who contributed to that page were penalized as vandals before the page was taken down for his lack of notability, and we all got “There are demo…

Eels up inside ya,
Findin' an entrance where they can,
Eels up inside ya,
Findin' an entrance where they can,
Borin' through your mind, through your tummy, through your anus,
Eels!

The pronunciation "FEH-muh-lee" (like "Emily") was also a Designing Women joke when the ladies of Sugarbaker and Associates had a backwoods adventure. "The hospital gave her that name and we just loved it!"

Honestly, I never considered it myself until the Vision and Scarlet Witch had their two twin boys, Thomas and William, back in their 12-issue limited series in the ‘80s. Somebody pointed out that if the Vision used the name of the person from whom he got his mental engrams (Simon Williams) then the boy’s name would be…

I never got to read Hot Dog!, but I had a friend with a huge collection of Bananas. Truly, it was the Era of Kids Magazines Named After Items That Are Vaguely Phallic.

The story in Dynamite magazine at the time is that rumors spread about Pac-Man machines in the U.S. taking in $800 a week. They found somebody who could say, "No machine has ever made $800 a week. No machine has ever even made $400 a week. But the idea stuck."

Well, they got busy with their side projects — Jerry Garcia with the Grateful Dead, Bill Buckner with baseball.

Point of order: As much as we all love "Jimmy Olsen's Blues," and as great as it was that Jimmy Olsen was wearing a Spin Doctors T-shirt in the comics around the time Superman died, the Spin Doctors' bigger third hit was "You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast," which peaked at No. 42 AND charted in Canada. That song was from…

May I excerpt this 1998 article from The New York Times, headlined "Senate Democrat Rebukes Clinton"?

Considering that TNG started with:
a species that kept its women naked
a security officer who survived a world chock-full of rape gangs
a doctor originally described as having the "natural walk of a striptease-queen"
a therapist with magic cleavage
…it's kind of a wonder it got as good as it did.

I *do* remember, and I learned not five minutes before starting this reply that the woman in question was NOT Nebula, but was actually Ravonna, Kang's one-time love, who felt betrayed by him after she was plucked from the timestream by the Grandmaster. She then IMPERSONATED Nebula to join the Cross-Time Kangs, then to…

WHO are the ad wizards who came up with THIS one?

There are children alive today who will someday be hopelessly confused by the phrase "played all four discs at Circuit City."

That whole sentence was meant to be read a lot more sarcastically it came across, yeah. (Besides, the sketch can't help but pale in comparison to the very similar Steve Martin/Gilda Radner "Dancing in the Dark" sketch.)

I think SNL in general is allergic to running gags or callbacks because it damages a sketch's chances of going viral on its own, getting repackaged in "Best of" episodes, etc.

My suggestions are:
Wealth and fame, he demands; aggravates loyal fans
or the more upbeat
Wealth and fame, he pursues; cut some hair, paid his dues
