Yeah, for me it's 80. I am old enough to have watched the MTM show on its first run, and she is only a notch below Carol Burnett when it comes to my female entertainment idols, but when I saw she was 80, that somehow made it seem not as bad.
RIP you spunky gal.

You mean "Heidi's Song" isn't the story of a young girl's meteoric rise from sheep-herding in the Alps to a pro football career which is cut short by a fatal disease?

C'mon, that's bullshit! The Packers can count the whole state of Wisconsin north of Kenosha, as well as the citizens of the west half of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as life-long fans!

How very Republican of you to say so.

As a friend of a friend on Facebook said, "totalitarian Barbie".

The GOP wants the masses trained, not educated.

"beating his animals off…"
That's an unfortunate line break.

Why does drinking alone have such a social stigma? I like nothing better than to come home from work to a quiet house and sip a stiff drink while browsing new AV Club content. Bars are loud, expensive, and full of obnoxious people. Here's to drinking alone!

Is he dead? I was trying to remember…

Erik Adams obviously does not know what the Stations of the Cross is.

Kirk!

There are buses leaving from Northern MI and picking up marchers along the way, but I'm having some back issues so decided I'm better off going to the regional "sister march" rather than the 16 hour ride to D.C. It's been interesting watching this event develop. I don't know what kind of effect it will actually have,…

Isn't this just "House of Cards" set in the Vatican? I watched the promo and kept expecting Law to turn to the camera and provide exposition in a southern drawl.

I live "Up North" and my wood stove has been getting workout lately (note topical reference)! There is something about that radiant heat, especially when it comes from wood you've cut from your own property.

Madonna?
I am continually embarrassed that my state produced both of the previously mentioned assholes.

No, they weren't invited now that they got that Asian dude as a lead singer. Not 'merican enough.

I ate at a Qdoba while traveling over the holidays, and thought the food was pretty good. I got a chicken-based taco that was lightly marinated, but not sauced. Lime tequila chicken, I think? There seem to be more Qdoba's popping up in Michigan and Wisconsin lately.

Yeah, that last paragraph just hits you in the gut.

Eh, speaking as an instructor, student eval's don't mean much. Unless they are consistently pointing out obvious violations of board policy, Title IX, or something like that, it's not as if they are going to get a prof fired (at least at a decent school).

For some reason I was thinking you did this during the Pledge of Allegiance, which, thinking about it, would have been even more impressive!
