When the time comes nearer I want to talk my boss into letting us have a little dish of candy to give out. I also plan on buying some Halloween themed cloth masks to wear to work. I recognize that not a lot of Halloween things are going to happen this year, so given that I’m still handing out takeout to the public I…

On Halloween, or just in general?

Our plan this year: invite a few of my sons friends (10 and 12 years old) who are in their bubble; provide variety of pizza, candy, and junk food; and set up a screen/projector in the backyard and introduce them to the greatness that is “Army of Darkness” (fingers crossed for no rain or snow).

I fill a bowl with candy but also turn my porch light off, then I get to eat all the candy myself. Works out great.

Trick or Treating has already gotten so lame. We used to have a lot of kids going door-to-door because our neighborhood has sidewalks and the houses aren’t too far apart. But with the churches making it easy with “Trunk or Treat” (?) all the parents began to just cart their kids down to the local mega church parking…

This sounds interesting -- Vaughn has a imposing physical presence so I bet he could have a lot of fun “being” a high school girl and of course slaughtering high schoolers is the kind of anti-Zoomer content my generation craves.

I’m gonna slingshot candy at my neighbors kids 

SO MANY titles that I’d blocked from my memory banks, and the Poochie reference is just spot-on for most of them. Focused grouped to death while simultaneously trying to catch the irreverence zeitgeist.  What could go wrong??

What’s funny about the Clerks running gag about Desmond Pfeiffer is that people didn’t realize it was a real show because it was cancelled so quickly.

I’ve seen one or two episodes via bootleg and it’s up there with Heil Honey I’m Home in terms of horribly misconceived comedies.

Or, you could not be a dick. I watched this show months ago which is why I want to hear other peoples’ opinions. It’s called interest in having a conversation not just prioritizing my opinion. Nice try, though.

While it’s clear that boy bands are the most common top TRL artists for 1999-2000, you also have a decent amount of Korn, Limp Bizkit, Eminem plus Sisqo and Tom Green. Honestly, you could argue musically it was the peak time to be an 11 year old boy, in terms of music existing that could basically only be found…

So this is obviously wrong but it definitely was an attitude at the time (speaking as a male over 11 but not into adulthood during that period). I think this was especially prevalent in music, which was dominated by “plastic” pop like boy bands and Britney Spears, etc. The TRL years, and something like Korn getting on…

I laughed out loud at that comment from the UPN douchebag. “It.s about time there was something made to cater to white men in this country.”

Shaken, he not only begins to question his former ideals of a post-racial existence, but he also witnesses his trauma manifest in talking malt liquor bottles (voiced by Eddie Griffin and Nicole Byer), an instigating trash can (voiced by Cedric The Entertainer), and a radicalized talking marker (voiced by J.B. Smoove).

We really felt that [males] 11 and up were underserved

was coming here to say the same thing, you can’t mention Clerks the cartoon and not mention Desmond Pfeiffer,

That still is the start of a Wham! video and nobody will convince me otherwise. 

Does it really count as “breaking the fourth wall” if the show is in faux-documentary format? The fourth wall is part of the premise; nothing to break there.

Now we just need a feature on The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer and Homeboys in Outer Space...

It’s a hand pie.
