I went to the closing party of the final Howard Johnson's restaurant in the U.S. It was in Manhattan, and there were models and so forth hanging out there for the closing party. It did not seem right at all to have attractive people in HoJos. Anyway, I still miss the clam strips.

Yeah, as someone who generally defends Philly, I… still don't want to die on the hill of defending pizza ice cream. I'll just stick to my irrational Tastykakes obsession.

I saw Elisabeth Moss at my Whole Foods, and ended up accidentally checking her out. I've never watched 'Mad Men,' etc., so I was just staring at her, like, "Why do I recognize this person? Did we date once for a week?" Then my friend told me who she was, and I realized I'd been staring at her for way too long, and…

Yeah, I can deal with someone having a different opinion, no matter how awful, and in this case, it's pretty awful. My issue is that the blonde hairdo from Fox is doing this, to get ratings, and that she's incapable of asking a tough question. Get someone good to rake Alex Jones over the coals and it's fine. Get…

Yeah, there's truly no good side to take here. He's mentally ill. She's obsessed with ratings. We all lose.

Sock it to… ME?*

When I worked at the Strand bookstore in NYC, I would hide all the Ayn Rand books so that no one could find them. I still stand by that one.

Dude, please go away. I realize that people are very racist, but I was just trying to talk about what it was like to see this election from abroad. You're like Manimal at this point; you just try to turn every comment section into the same thing. So please, go away. You know, like when you got banned for using the…

It was kind of nice being there, because I wasn't able to watch CNN, etc., and so was insulated, and could only get up to date via print medium. On the other hand, having to explain to rational European people how this could happen eneded up sort of canceling that out. I feel like I was no more or less baffled than…

I may have written about this before, but Trump got elected the day after I got married, while I was living in Europe. The morning after my wedding, I had to wake up and go to work, and also tell my new bride that Trump had won the election (because it all happened while we were sleeping; time difference). It took…

Tsk. My game was way better. Who wants to simulate one-on-one basketball, anyway? https://www.youtube.com/wat…

He invested early in Bat-Shark-Repellent futures, duh.

Studying Ancient Greek was worth it, if only for getting to call people "idiotes" in class.

I played Magic Johnson Basketball on the C-64. It was super advanced, in that you could draft players and change the colors of your team's uniforms! Magic wasn't actually in the game, since it was all fake players, but he was nice enough to let them take his photo for the front of the box.

I used to play a bombing simulator game on the C-64 (50 Mission Crush). Even though you played as an American bomber, at a certain point, even as a kid, I started to get weirded out over the fact that I was dropping bombs that certainly killed civilians over, say, Antwerp, Belgium. So; yeah.

I unironically think that K-9 is a good movie. I'd say 'come at me, bros,' but no one cares about K-9 enough to counter my position.

Adam West turned down a chance to be James Bond after 'Batman.' Possibly the only thing cooler than being James Bond is being so cool that you turn it down! Anyway, he had a great life, R.I.P.

Robert Reed hated being on 'The Brady Bunch,' though, and would bitch to the writers that the scripts weren't realisitic. Which is a very good point, but still seems like a losing battle…

Yeah, I never got to see how Batman and Robin got out of being turned into two-dimensional pieces of paper by the Joker, who then slid them under the door of Wayne Manor.

Who was the one who decided to worship the sun and invented monotheism? And then everyone hated him. That was one of the Amenhoteps, right?
