not me. I'm giddy as a ten-year-old.

nice spin there, Donald: he joined your campaign over 1/3 of the way in, and you used to say he was a major component of it. you can't wash that kind of stink off you that easily.

who here knew she could speak French? I certainly didn't. and omg, her smile could power cities. here's more of that French interview… she's so charming and thoughtful. (and poor Harrison has to sit like a lump because I'm sure he didn't know what was being said.) https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I was going to type this, too. talk about perfect. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be there.

I never saw them live, but looking at some youtube vids today made me realize that they were similar in energy and style to Huey Lewis & The News back in the 80s. the big horn section, doo-woppy thing is so much fun live.

I quote Super Dave to this day. "OH MY GOD, IT'S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!!"

someone could've saved us a jillion dollars on decades of that whole "just say NO" campaign by sharing this instead.

John Oliver's is great just for the GoT people. (no spoilers from me!)

I loved it, and still defend it. I suspect a lot of people who don't like it didn't see it in the theater when it came out, with no knowledge going in. I found it VERY effective, in that old-school "stories around the campfire" sort of way that makes the hair on your neck stand up.

except, the Exorcist actually WAS based on a real exorcism case….

ask her if she gets headaches from tomatoes and mushrooms as well, since those are a good source of MSG in nature.

I agree with everything here, *especially* the part about MSG. poor old MSG has gotten such a bad rap. even better than using them separately is mixing MSG and salt together.

I was wondering, too. thanks!
