I was really sad to hear about this, though it’s obviously been coming for a long time.

How about a Highlander serie- wait. Shit. No. 

Real People was a pretty great show in its day.

After seeing this photo of Rudolph, it’s nice to know that she (like me) doesn’t know what to do with the gift bags you get from Amazon.

he still looked pretty good in 1991:

Here in Nashville there was a shop – it was literally called Oriental Rugs iirc – that had a “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE!!!” banner out front for literally years. Like, the banner got faded and replaced more than once.

Those were the golden days of true product spokesmen. Redenbacher, along with Dave Thomas and Colonel Sanders were the face of their own companies, not just some opportunistic pitchman! I really wish Elon did Tesla ads, or some such thing as that.

Well, nothing will top King hating the film, yet loving the 1990s miniseries!

She was the center of The Shining, a fantastic movie.

I watched the trailer (so you don’t have to), and it doesn’t seem like these two people adopted 77 kids themselves. The guy starts preaching to his congregation about children in need of homes, which kicks off a movement in the town of people taking the kids in.

I mean, there are Hollywood Walk of Fame stars on the ground, so...yeah, L.A. seems like a safe bet.

It always feels weird to be the only person in the theater. I always think that the employees suspect me of doing something weird in the theater. 

Unless all the kids are related, I feel like once you get beyond 5 adoptions the house has just become an orphanage. At 77, it’s a now small boarding school.

Thanks for your response. I’m not a Lovecraft guy, but one of the nice things about living in New England is that it’s like somebody just rolled a bunch of 20-sided dice featuring English place names over a new map and let things fall where they may. Oh, Ipswich has a major thoroughfare called “Labor in Vain Road.”

Just checking: do you live in Ipswich, Massachusetts? Or is every carpet store on the edge of bankruptcy all the time? 

“50 cent version of Batman” is pretty much Rorschach’s entire deal though.

There were a lot of Beatles songs that ended up like this, although they got sung in Kindergartens and daycares. I think Raffi did Octopus’s Garden.

In some ways, it’s kind of cool. Why on earth does “kids music” exist, generally? Is there really a shortage of regular music that kids can safely listen to? It’s like if there were dozens of G and PG movies out every year that weren’t explicitly about kids, so someone then decided they had to make dozens more movies…

Somehow, dropping a draw four feels good in a place like this.

And we don't talk about Puerto Rico anymore
