Not to mention, Jay Thomas' classic story from his younger days! It slays me every time.

Definitely on the list!

Yep. :| Oh, and if you get a chance to see Ferguson live when he goes out on tour, I highly recommend it.

I've been awake since 4:00 AM, but I'm loading up on sugar and caffeine to stay up for Letterman's Xmas show (largely because of Ms. Love) and Craig Ferguson's last show.

Ford seemed to really like putting late-70's Thunderbirds next to airplanes:

Some things really need to be turned into a never-ending gif.

You may have missed Ghost Story from 1981, based on the 1979 book. And for a far older story of a man bedding a ghost, there's the tale of the Peony Lantern from Japan.

Fear and Loathing! That paragraph gets memorized like a Bible verse. (The original, anyway. The adaptation here is nice too.)

"F" train indeed...

Standard operating procedure for 21st century American broadcasting. Local news is the most costly format to run, what with having to pay a staff of skilled human beings to cover and report on things. But running a satellite feed and voice-tracking "local" shows can be wrung out of part-time board operators who are…

Mythical George Washington approves.

Nice! :D

This is awesome. I was lucky enough to see both the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds during the F-4 era, and doubt I could come up with enough superlatives to describe them. The F/A-18s are certainly impressive in their own right & era, but the holy-shit factor was so high with the size of the Phantoms, it's hard to shake…
