Charles is 73. It’s too late to die young.

No early grave for him!

Movies are essentially short stories. You just can’t cover as much ground in 2 hours as a novel can. Pretty much all movies are stripped down versions of the novels they’re based on, even those with an 11-hour running time (LOTR)

Also freakin’ hilarious!

The only thing I can be bothered to bake with pumpkin.

Where I had the good fortune to work with him on several occasions.

That’s my trick, too. Saves both time and energy.

A roomie of mine also cooks rice that way.

Wait, what? This site has 10-year-olds writing for it?

I’m in my 60s and I still occasionally play Zoombinis.

For babies, my eye. Hmph.

I got in a tangle with someone online complaining that the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was too ‘woke’, and I’m like, ‘Dude, have you ever watched Star Trek?’

SMH.

I’ll admit that I think Tolkien was kind of racist, in a born-in-South-Africa-raised-in-Britain 1930s kindof way, but I also think if he were still…

The Lion and the Cobra is the only album I ever bought based entirely on the cover - there was this shaven headed waif with the most soulful eyes and I could not leave the store without it.

I never regretted the purchase.

O’Connor is the definition of a hero - she should be lauded, not vilified.

Yes, it is a bigger problem. I always know when I’m discussing law-like stuff with an L&O viewer, because at some point they’ll say that it’s the police’s job to ‘get the scum off the streets’ and don’t care how that’s accomplished.

Which it is not the police’s job to decide who is ‘scum’ and railroad them into prison.

M…

It’s Lego, cheap plastic bricks.

And it’s 350 bucks.

No, I do not need it. I’ll remember Boseman by donating to a charity he would have supported.

If ‘They’ are not here yet, they’ll be here soon.

So before they do, I’m gonna say that HRC is pretty much the definition of gutsy. You go, Hillary!

Agreed. The first version had a ‘got to get to work!’ impetus. This one’s more like, ‘Whyyyyyy do I have to go to work?’ vibe.

But I gotta say that ‘Roll out of bed and stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition’ may well be the best song lyrics ever written.

I’d say it’s even giving TNG a run for its money.

You really think people only go to London on the totally tiny, teeny-weeny, itty bitty chance they might see the Queen?

Dude. No.

Get a Sharpie. Anywhere it says, ‘the crown’, mark it out and write in ‘the people’.

There. Done.

Now that I’m past Mayor Trudy’s return, we’re starting to take on projects for town improvement.

Apparently having the church in charge was hampering us. 

Like that one scene in ‘Hollywood Shuffle.’
