As a kid, I was fascinated by the "grown-up" problems and situations the guests were dealing with. Clearly, adult life wasn't all sunshine and lollipops. But the wish-fulfillment seemed magical and cool, in theory. And yes, I remember even as a child thinking Mr. Roarke was hiding a bit of darkness behind his charming…

Adomian's mind must be blown by the good review he got from Podmass.

People DEFINITELY call her JJL. At least, I do. And I'm a people.

A surprisingly deep education on Asian names from someone named "HungWeiLo".

You're entitled to your opinion. I think Wompler is many people's least favorite charac, but I personally love the Womplerverse.

Yeah, I haven't visited a comic shop in years, but I've always enjoyed Woodring's work and I have a perverse love for stereoscopic comics - this one is right up my alley!

You guess so? You GUESS so?

OK, I'll bite. Give us a hint as to the book/movie, please!

Just last night, in a mall parking lot, a goof in a Mustang drove by me, windows down, blasting "Free Falling." I almost, really seriously almost, yelled out, "You're not as cool as you think you are!!!"

Ivan Brunetti? I haven't seen that name in 15 years or more! I liked his stuff. Maybe I should visit comic book stores more often.

You haven't watched the clip yet, have you?

Scott recently ruefully joked on the podcast that many people love the podcast who don't seem to like the show.

Well yeah - I mean, some Canadians do speak like the stereotype, but west of Ontario, it's not really an issue. Just like the Fargo accent, it's a small percentage of the country that speaks like they're brain-damaged. Like most Canadians, I grew up near the US border and watched US affiliates; I don't think I or…

Maybe I'm drunk….I mean maybe it's because I'm drunk. I can't think of any other Alberta PM other than the despised and recently humiliated Harper. But I'm likely wrong. I'll get back to you if I think of any others.

People already (stupidly and unfairly) say black actors and actresses only win because of their skin color - look at the last Emmy Awards.

Charlotte Rampling angrily tweets the address of Academy’s Board of Governors.

Were you people part of the same 1990s Pretty Girls In Alt Rock discussion in the Lush thread yesterday? I concur on all, though I had to look up who "Hanley" was. For some reason, Letters To Cleo never did it for me. But in retrospect, a simple visit to YouTube suggests to me that Ben Wyatt was right about them.

I'm sure she regretted it greatly, but she got a lot of press for it - I remember Spin's cover story on her: "Juliana Hatfield Gives It Up!"
It was all pretty dopey but also charmingly innocent. I never knew until today that it was Spike Jonze who ended up doing the deed. I always thought Dando would be the lad.
