Regardless, it’s weird to ignore the substance of the whole comment to focus on a goofball bit of obvious hyperbole in the very last, very speculative paragraph.

The issue at hand isn’t whether he’s richer than Croesus or whatever, the issue at hand is that he’s acted like a creepy sex-pest in even the kindest, most…

Touche!

A fine, fine comeback. Bravo!

I bow to your clearly superior rhetorical skills. Your trenchant bon mot has laid me low, so incisive and devastating it was.

Ugh. Gaiman’s relationships have always been weird, so I wouldn’t entirely be surprised. Amanda Palmer’s “Whakanewa” suddenly seems to be saying a lot more than we initially thought.

He’s always reminded me of that charming guy everyone knew at least one of in their early 20's,; the guy who stumbles from relationship…

I thought it was an interesting top three.

A lot of the ones who came out strong in early episodes kinda ran out of gas; there were a lot of “I specialize in [x] sort of cuisine” and then every dish they did was an “[x] take on [ingredient/dish/challenge]” which burns out pretty quick.

(the indigenous cuisine episode…

I always thought they were expecting the snowman to be popular TV food nerd Alton Brown.

I mean, it’s clickbait, and the original song in context isn’t technically rapey...but...when was the last time you heard the song with all the appropriate context of the time? Maybe it WAS just a snapshot of sexual politics of the late 40's - but when Cee-Lo and Meghan Trainor (or whoever) perform it now, it’s…

The problem wasn’t that it was convincing people to vote *for* him, but rather convincing his opponents (and their base) that he wasn’t anything to worry about, just a goofy stunt candidate. That dude should not have made it past the primaries. But once he did, it was too late.

He’s a sharp kid, and knew exactly how to react, and exactly what receipts he needed to bring to school administration, district admin, and the local press. That kid takes no shit, and will defend any other kid who is getting crap from an authority figure.

(I’m quite proud of him, in case you hadn’t figure that out)

All the kids I know are far, far more respectful than their parents and grandparents. They’ll give you the benefit of the doubt no matter how different or weird you might seem to them. A few of them are super nice, accepting kids, despite their parents being raging assholes.

They also seem to uniformly believe that…

Hidden away in the credits is “additional composition” by Brian Williams, who has worked with Revell on a number of film soundtracks, but is probably better known as pioneering dark ambient artist “Lustmord.”

If you went to a certain kind of dance club between like 1987 and 1995, their stuff was inescapable. Their WaxTrax-era material off “Confessions of a Knife” and “SexPlosion!” were club staples of the era.

What’s equaly baffling to me is that, despite being a show very obviously aimed at small kids, it seems to be ridiculously popular with tweens and early teens. My nieces, nephews and all their friends absolutely LOVE the show, and they’re all 11-15.

My theory is that it’s like a Bob Ross kinda thing - it’s just…

We had Lorne Michaels giving him a spot on SNL and Jimmy Fallon tussling his hair on late night TV. They made him seem “kooky and fun” and not “unhinged and dangerous.”

He should have been a campaign footnote, some weirdo rich guy who decided that the best way to appeal to the common person was to descend from the sky…

This was, not coincidentally, my biggest issues with the revival of Dr. Who. Every season’s stakes were higher than the last - first future Earth, then modern earth, then all of Earth, then the universe, then all of time, then reality and...well, we ran out of places to go. It always makes the universes feel smaller,…

I mean, okay, it’s not great.

I mean, no one ever asserted he was a virtuoso keyboardist or anything, but considering he’s long been written-off as “just” a hype-man, it turns out he’s got a pretty solid grasp on several instruments and on music theory.

Oh I don’t think the other gens are less horny than we were; they just grew up with near limitless access to online pornography of everything.

So they’re just kinda over it.

One of the important things about the original was that there was growth and movement in the characters from their one-note initial characterizations; Fraiser and Niles were insufferable elitists who lacked empathy, Dad was boorish, Daphne was wacky and loony...and by the end of the series they’d all matured and the…

Alice Cooper has been an Arizona Conservative Christian for quite some time now. He’s never been as lunatic-fringe as a lot of ‘em, but he’s got the predilection there for Supremely Bad Boomer Takes on Modern Social Issues.

I suppose we can be grateful that this is one of the few kinds of properties Disney hasn’t tried to work into a Cinematic universe. No ghost of Jack Sparrow in the Haunted Mansion or a hastily shoehorned Jungle Cruise end credit scene.

Coming soon to D+: “Mr. Toad: The Wildest Rides”, a 6-part series
