It's not a code for fetish play, if that's what you're talking about. Ha. Ha.

I don't care how many of these obits say "Lucy cast member", for old radio geeks she'll always be Leila Ransom. That honeyed coo almost made me want to be a water commissioner.

Like how Schroedinger's Cat is either dead or alive until you open the box? Or how Schroedinger's Rugrats are either still babies or all grown up until you check their Wikipedia page?

Rhymes with "Breadbox". Helped cause something that rhymes with "breath of the schmideo snore."

And NCR's entertainment assets (including the contracts connected with the Blockbuster kiosks) were bought out at the beginning of the year by Take A Wild Guess.

"We realized that TECHNICALLY we'd have to pay another fee to run it again."

It was a thing that my local decided to put off an extra hour without telling whoever ran my cable company's program guide. Not an entirely unexpected maneuver, though.

From 2005 until 2009, and then (after TWO MONTHS of getting our hopes up) from 2010 until 2011, when they realized they had to do something to get attention for the new Looney Tunes Show.

Re: the "upper-class twit" observation: Refresh my memory, was this the campaign season where Bush the Elder did a grocery store photo op and was gobsmacked when he saw the bar code scanner, as if for the first time?

When your "sexy face" makes you look like Hawk from the Road Warriors, it's time to practice your sexy face a little more.
