Freshman year: Some Andrew Dice Clay album at max volume by the guys at the end of the corridor. Apparently where they came from nobody had heard of limericks.

When he was happy, he’d play Skinny Puppy at max volume on his infinity speakers, when he was depressed, he’d play Sinead O’Connor at max volume on his infinity speakers.

He’s just like that cricket player.

Apropos of nothing: Benedict’s mum (Wanda Ventham) and Grandma Tyrell (Diana Rigg) in an Avengers episode, 1966.

IIRC, Shampoo was a weird movie in that it’s a mid-70s recent past period piece (about the 1968 election).

“We” = “AARP Magazine”

(ref issues ultimatum) (Antonio Brown dances/performs gymnastic maneuvers with corny-ass shoes in abandoned warehouse in a Footloose tribute)

He is a pedestrian dullard, that is to be sure.

How is that possible, I couldn’t get away from all the World Cup of Hockey chat on my East Austin bus this morning, people are so energized and enthused about this tournament, it’s like highlights of 7th-division Bulgarian soccer-level mania.

(gen-X scoff) More like Jamie Farce-ia

It is odd that people in sports (the circus portion of the bread and circuses that takes our minds off our gun-crazed, racist country and increasingly uninhabitable planet) get asked the question, and that some of its spokespeople have far better answers than the crazy and/or milquetoast political candidates vomited…

True fact: God mumbles a lot, like Andy Warhol.

Looking through his only Broadway connection is his having acted in the movie version of Dreamgirls.

He’s like the black Great Santini. And Courtney is 27, and six inches shorter than the great Mr. Jones.

Interesting Tony Award note for Best Actress in 1987: Mary Alice over a pre-movies Annette Bening (and for Best Actor, James Earl Jones over a pre-movies Alan Rickman in Dangerous Liaisons, which was subsequently re-cast in the Milos Forman movie).

Looks like the release date is December 16th, two weeks before the deadline. He tried with the Great Debaters, but this looks to have multiple Oscars written all over it especially if the rest of the field is weak. I can’t even remember who won last year, so maybe so.

Why shouldn’t Miss Universe be zaftig, everybody accepts the inflationary model of the cosmos.

Anytime there’s Blue Jays beef you need En-carne-cion

New special teams protocol: check players for Hurricane-breath prior to their being allowed to take the field.

Well, at least hyperbole is extinct already.
