Ah, I'm not sure if I'd heard that one before (I presume you're talking about the "Princess Buster" song, which I'm sure he was responsible for). I suspect the main motivation there was simply to capitalize on the success of the original. I guess it's conceivable that he could've caught some flak from the women in his…

I just mentioned below (above?) that that was my first exposure to the man. An old punk terrestrial radio show that used to come on in the middle of the night on Saturdays occasionally played some OG ska and that was my first exposure. It is an odd "song" but it's hard not to like. I'm sure any woman that Buster…

Good to see folks here touched by his music. He was a bit boastful and his reputation may have overshadowed some other equally important contributors due to his canonization by the two-toners, but he was a massive man and I'm actually welling up a bit… I think the first thing I heard of his was the 10 Commandments and…

I don't know how to respond to that.

Oh, yeah, you're absolutely right about my cross-posting thing being a singular or (hopefully) rare circumstance, but I do kind of enjoy the ability to look at a particular commentators interests and activities on other sites. I'm a curious sort, though.

Hmm, I haven't experienced most of that, but I know different problems can arise depending on what you use to access the internet (I use a desktop exclusively). As far as loading, I'm on humble DSL, and I haven't had any notable problems, but, again…

What your beef with Disqus? I'm OK with it, but you can ruin it for me if you want.

You probably already know this if you're British, but apparently Berry does quite a lot of legit voice work (and why wouldn't he), so that kinda puts a whole 'nother spin on things.

Ah, those are good. I have to admit I'm really deficient insofar as my consumption of Marx Bros films goes. Gotta see what I can do about that.

I've started watching Matt Berry in Toast of London recently, and sometimes he has to deal with a guy in the recording studio named Clem Fandango.

Kind of a long thread going here, so I can't be sure that the many creatively and absurdly named creations of WC Fields haven't been mentioned. On the other hand, it'd be a travesty if they hadn't and I didn't chip in. It's been a poke since I've watched Fields' stuff, so, full disclosure, I pulled these off of a…

I wasn't crazy about the whole show the first episode, but all of it's grown on me.

Yeah, when he 'shouted maybe she's the monster', that was the first of his objections I identified with. I mean, I thought for a sec, wait, maybe she is the monster. I've seen stranger twists.

Gosh, all of that is so true. I'd never really considered it before. I did horrendous things, probably solely to decrease the odds that horrendous things would be done to me.

But all these hedgehogs are naked. A few have hats on. That's it. I came to see "hedgehogs dressed like people".

Yeah, the meth head comedy usually feels a bit cringy to me.

"we all miss Paula in EarthBound when she gets abducted"

Ha, I really hadn't connected that line to Poussey's scene, but yeah.

"I never actually accused @OneChordWonder of being a troll. I raised the possibility."

You're clearly invested in defending this Cali person, which is fine. But accusing someone of being a troll is kind of a last resort measure and shouldn't be anyone's go-to stratagem, and it certainly wasn't called for here. If the things that OCW where saying about Cali were true (and I have absolutely no way of…
