The first issue was when Joker cut his face off

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a lot of people don’t know this now. When I was reading Marvels in the late 60s (!) I knew which ones were 3 months ahead by cover date and which were only 2 (for some historical reasons that I read once and have forgotten). FF was 3, but X-Men was 2. I think Thor and Daredevil…

The human brain’s autocorrect fixes a lot of actual autocorrect. Meaning, I didn’t notice. (Oddly, my browser gives a red underline to the word “autocorrect”. Yes, browser, we know it exists. Stop hiding your light under a bushel.)

For All Mankind seems pretty Dad-ish (not a Dad but liked it).

He meant they were doing it continuously.

If the bribe did come from the other side, it was certainly not explained as such.

The music was all I wanted (and pretty much all I posted about here), but it should have been bigger. I know, never satisfied.

Aha! This is where I drag out my memory of the National Lampoon’s “Anti-Dutch Hate Literature”...

“It’s always funny when “supremacists” turn out to be the dumbest people in existence.”

Mark Linn-Baker is famously credited as “Mary Linn-Baker” in Manhattan. (He’s only seen at a distance because his scene was cut, so the confusion is less surprising than you might think.)  But I bet that’s not what you’re thinking of.

Yeah, a mouthful of sugar-free candy might be full of laxatives, making for a Bad Night at the Theater.

So, coincidentally, Harry Shearer was the very best person in the world for 30 years to voice each of the literally dozens of characters he’s been doing? Or are there maybe other considerations, including financial, involved? And once we accept that, can we maybe stop pretending there’s nothing happening but a pure…

This is part of the reason why the anti-mask thing is so confusing to me; to the extent that the rhetoric is “mask-wearing makes you a sheep and it’s just what our overlords want us to do”, it seems 100% backwards.

To be a (self-described?) incel and a deadbeat dad takes serious dedication to being terrible.

“My experience with Shakespeare is that if the actors know what they’re saying, so will you.”

There was a compilation of Friends scripts that came out early in its run, and I leafed through it in the bookstore (‘member bookstores?).  To my ear it just sat there dead on the page, even though I’d seen the episodes and could hear the actors do the lines properly in my head.  Imagine how it read before it was…

I kept thinking young Garrett (who I did not realize was played by Bill Paxton’s son) looked like Lemur from Parker Lewis Can’t Lose: [pic may or may not appear..]

It’s “Baker replaces her until a special election in a couple of months”, which, on the one hand, not AS bad, but on the other hand, Scott Brown happened.  (Also, Baker is term limited so won’t be running in 2022 anyway.)

I thought that Courtney’s dad was going to say that there was something magic about the pendants.

Yeah, “we’re going to require training” sounds like “from now on, if a customer roughs up an employee over this, it’s the employee’s fault”.
