It was Dr. Girlfriend pointing out "the guy from Depeche Mode" to the Monarch. I always assumed she was pointing at Pete White and the Monarch for some reason thought Billy was a really ugly woman.

I know a depressing number of parents who do. Cause it's animated, right? That means it's for kids! Guess I can sit their children in front of "Akira", yeah?

Except for the fact that I can actually imagine actual people being emotionally invested in Superman as a character and icon.

The person who lived in the room directly adjacent to mine in college had the Nickleback album where the dude whines "What's this life fooooooooorrr?" over and over and boy did they like to open their window and share it with the whole campus. It's a wonder I stayed sane.

If *everything* is controversial, than nothing is.

I watched BB, recorded the VMAs, and used the latter the next morning as background noise while cleaning.

I had three immediate thoughts after the Annual Award Show Where Mtv Pretends To Still Be About Music:

Gosh, I hope I'm allowed to hate "Blurred Lines" because it is the most hideous earworm since "Moves Like Jagger".

More like an insane "Gargoyles"/"Friends" crossover fanfic.

That "ae" thing always trips up the speech center of my brain. I've heard it pronounced the intuitive way (somewhere between a Fonzie-ish "ay" and "eh") as often as I've heard it pronounced "ee".

I'm sorry but The Mercy of Our Lord is Just Johnson and Tractorfactory Electric Ivanov sound rad as hell.

How many times have you kicked people in the shins on Don Bluth's behalf when people are like, "Ooh that's my favorite Disney movie!" after you introduce yourself?

1) I must slip Devilfanny into casual conversation sometime this merry holiday season.

Lex is kind of cool, but here's hoping she's more movie-Lex and way, WAY less book-Lex. We're talking about "Jurassic Park" yes?

Eugene isn't that bad. It shortens to Gene, plus it's stealth-geeky ("GATTACA", the actual genes from the nature).

"Makybe" is a name that is destined to make all of this kid's school teachers' eyes water.

Better yet, here's Kevin telling the story.

Muppet. Christmas. Carol.
