Nah, Larson's little, petrified skull is labeled and resting on a shelf somewhere.

Hey Johnny! When you said the cheddar was sharp in this town, boy, you weren't kiddin'! [slaps knee, lifts hat, soft-shoes off stage]

Coming from an AV Club commenter on a Dr. Who article using a Stanislaw Lem handle and a Richard Condie avatar, that final sentence is the forgonest of conclusions.

I look forward to the copyright-workaround names Halloween Cities nationwide will give their pre-packaged polyester green button-downs and ruffled tight-whities, e.g. "Sassy Lawbreaker", "Blue Candy Cook Cutie" , or "Hubris Diva".

PANCAKES ARE POINTLESS

Words can't describe how disappointing it was to find an old set of Britannicas in family storage and find out there's no damn entry for mandibula. Straight from Mandi to mandibulofacial dysostosis, and no, you go figure it out from contextual clues in the latter! Youuu!

No idea what the parents or higher-ups against the book being read actually said, though I knew my family's church went the "any Biblical mention of sorcery is attributable to God moving mysteriously or Satan straight-up deceiving" route. There was also what seemed like a loud minority of parents in church and school…

I wasn't sure if the logic was that attributing supernatural powers to any being outside of Christian theology shouldn't be allowed, or that any mention would result in fascination with the occult, or if it was a plain "that's too scary".

My first elementary school was Christian, and one year, a new, relatively young teacher started to read The Witches to my classroom. Apparently there was enough parental protest over the fact that it even mentioned witches that she told us she couldn't continue past the first couple chapters even though we were all…

YES. I specifically remember sneaking away to a quiet corner during a rained-out indoor recess in elementary school to finish reading "The Swan", and trying to keep from bawling during clean-up time at the end.

"How do you fight crime in this thing?"

Oh my goodness, this must be the movie that I channel-surfed onto as a kid, right at the hospital mouth-transfer scene. I flipped away once the scene ended as my nascent logical side ("It's a movie made for adults that's meant to be scary") fought bitterly with the rest of me ("WHY DID MORE JUST KEEP COMING OUT? WHAT…

I'm kind of terrible at telling this online sometimes, so are y'all just taking an extended piss on this (including the letter writer — ha ha, I wrote into Dan Savage about vaginas, because presumably he'll never check Urban Dictionary which has several dirty definitions and variants on the phrase! — and Dan — yeah,…

Personally, I found the art switch more jarring than the stories. The revival has cleaner art, which does lend itself well or better to some of the plotlines and characters. But the cast coming in from the first run ended up looking more homogenized and generic to me than they did before, which feels counter to the…

I feel like I've seen the use of onscreen-text-as-visible/interactive-object in a couple animated films/series, though the only one that comes to mind immediately is the O-Ren Ishii sequence in Kill Bill. When O-Ren witnesses her father being killed next to the bed she's hiding under, she whimpers fearfully. But it's…

Wallace also hears everything Erin says, so the scene ends with him saying, "What's this about being gone for 3 months?" and Andy with a deer-in-headlights look.
