I remember the Nissan product placement in Fringe and Heroes really bothering me. A key plot point in Heroes in Hiro getting the right kind of Nissan Versa for his adventure. It was too much.

I believe it’s on “My Weakness is Strong."
I feel like a bad fan for not watching his newest special yet, but I honestly don’t think I can emotionally handle it. His comedy and Maria Bamford got me through a seriously screwy time in my life.
I definitely shed a tear reading this. Most comedians slag off on their wives or girlfriends, but Patton made it abundantly clear he loves his wife and child. The story about his wife finding a gigantic rat and then looking for a new house is one of my all time favorite comedy bits.
It’s really just him yelling “IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLL” for three straight minutes.
My boxer doesn’t hug you, she destroys you with aggressive affection. You will love her, or she’ll latch onto you like a facehugger.
This game is fun with names. I’m six years into my run with Grizzlies and there are two Leftos Papadopoulos’s in the league and probably a dozen players named Al-Farouq something.
The New Mexico Zia symbol is one I never escaped as a kid. Just a black outline of a really cool looking symbol with “ABQ” or “505" in Old English lettering underneath.
There is. It’s called AmeriCorps and it’s been around for like 30 years. It’s sexier sister VISTA was founded in 1965. There’s also Teach for America and Peace Corps, which are much more stringent with their candidates.
GLOW is such a strange little wrestling promotion. The original was started by Jayne Mansfield’s last husband and a guy who used to sell pictures of Dick the Bruiser. It then went off the air and got revived by Mariska Hargitay’s half brother. They actually give the talent time off and rotate the roster, so that’s a…
As somebody who grew up watching and loving ECW, those matches were both a blessing and a curse. It was great to see Cactus Jack and Sabu just go apeshit on each other for 20 minutes, but after a while the crowd wants more, and you have to keep upping the brutality and the content. My go to example for that is TLC II…
The Attitude Era was the boom period, but the bust afterwards is not worth it. The sickening chair shots, the ODs, the sad lives of the wrestlers who just didn’t make it...no amount of good to great wrestling is worth that.
This is all well and good, but I want to know what those kids are waving at.
There is sooooo much table setting to this show, and the books too. That’s ultimately what has turned me off to the whole thing: events happen, people get moved into position, something else happens, people get moved around again...on and on and on.
Maria Bamford’s album Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome got me through a stressful and dark point in my life, and her material is still stuff I listen to on a regular basis.
As somebody born and raised in ABQ, I am 100% on board with shaming anybody who decides to drive drunk. New Mexico is a state with many problems, and drunk driving is very much one of those.
Ha, until I moved to Vermont that was my go to reference too!
Burlington is not the capital of Vermont. Montpelier is.
Who are you, Adam Morrison?
Arrow also knocked off Laurel, thus making Black Canary a very fatal hero and Quentin Lance just the unluckiest dad in history.
