The tattoo in my avatar is real, and mine, because White Tulip was possibly my favorite hour of television ever aired.

I watched "Stand By Me" with my father, on VHS, and he laughed so hard at the vomit scene that he ruptured a blood vessel and gave himself a nosebleed. We had to stop the tape while he took 15 minutes to get himself together. Jesus, this was nearly 30 years ago, and Dad's been gone for 8…but it is one of my favorite…

"There Are Much Worse Things" hauls me back out of my annual Scroogey depression, and I think I need to go put it on right now. Also, the actual six (?)-part harmony on "Peace, Love, and Understanding" never fails to knock my head back. Good stuff.

The reviewer notes the glut of It's a Wonderful Life reworkings everybody defaults to this time of year; it's that or A Christmas Carol every. damn. time. So, god bless us every one, especially the Bob's writers who chose Duel as their holiday interpretation.

When he rolled like a trapped alligator, I fell apart.

I want children specifically so I can put "Buckle It Up" to practical use.
