Someone needs to ‘shop a scene from Goldfinger, with Oddjob throwing the murder wreath (tm) instead of his hat.

I know these lists are created precisely for people to click and argue, but yeah, hard agree on this one. Michelle could have easily replaced Mumbles the Pop Star or the reality show dermatologist. It kind of hurts me in my soul to see them next to AOC, Dr. Ford, and Stacey Abrams.

This is an excellent point. Religion—even among different flavors of Christianity—is also still a big thing. JFK being Catholic was a pretty big deal, so much so that he remains the ONLY Catholic president. People were convinced that he’d take orders from the pope. I also remember seeing an exit poll interview with a

When I was a youngin’, we had the 1976 Bicentennial Edition Pacer. (Not sure if that was the real name, but it was a real special edition-type thing.) If I remember correctly, it was white on top, red on the bottom, with a blue stripe separating the two. I have a lot of fond memories of my sister and I sitting

I wish I remembered the source so I could attribute properly, but I still think the best description I’ve ever read of the Transformers movies is “like watching your clothes dryer run filled with silverware.”

I was briefly heartened a few months ago, in the grocery store of all places, after an indirect interaction with a mom and her (3- or 4-year-old?) son.  As I passed them, the kid said, “Mom, he has girl hair!”  (I am a dude with hair that hangs below my shoulders.)  Without missing a beat, the mom said, “There’s no

Tyra lost me while, ironically, helping me win money. My friends and I did a couple of seasons where we’d do a betting pool to pick the elimination order. We’d give everybody the first episode free before deciding (instead of just basing it on the pre-show photos of the contestants that inevitably came out). As soon

Isn’t it safe to assume at this point that Kris has signed a lucrative--and contractual--deal to make her daughters available to the NBA?

I asked the same thing of a friend who is, in reality, an Easter-Christmas Catholic, but in practice, ratchets up the offense on behalf of the church as needed. My question was, how do you not just walk away from such an institution? Make your own church! Call it the “First Congregation of No Child Molestation” and do

Here’s my fear, though:  People keep talking about possible bits of script, so somebody’s going to say, “Hey, there’s a lot of interest in this!  Let’s do the movie, except we’ll replace Kim Cattrall with...umm...Lindsay Lohan?  The youths like her, right?”

I prefer to look at it from more of a scientific angle. That lead pic--plus most pics of her father--just emphasizes the fact that there is a dominant gene called Butthole Mouth.

I recently overheard a conversation where a man (in our very blue state) lamented that no women wanted to date him because he was a Trump supporter.  Much like these morons, when his friend pressed him on Trump’s awfulness, he retorted that he liked Trump’s “policies.”  I wasn’t aware that “temper tantrums” and

You are absolutely correct, but the Republicans have all but elevated Reagan to sainthood, if not a minor deity. Wonder if Trump comparing himself to Ronnie will finally be a bridge too far?

It’s crazy. I grew up in the area (over the border in Pennsylvania), and Lordstown was where pretty much everybody’s parents worked. That or in steel-related industries, which are of course also gone. They’re going to have to change it from “Rust Belt” to “Nobody Lives Here Belt.”

Seems like a good candidate for a Leake(y) auction.

I’m not sure I can describe with 100% clarity why, but the real gut punch in this story for me was the part about them filling up the car with her possessions and then taking the plates off. I guess it’s because it goes beyond, “Come get your stuff, you’re not welcome here,” which is bad enough. It’s, “Come get your

I can’t even imagine what it would be like to find out that 90% of the people in your life--including your family--are complete garbage humans.

The center braid is perfect if you’re going for the Klingon look.

My informal research also bears that out. I’ve seen a lot more guy-on-mic action than women-on-mic.

I’m still fascinated/confused about why this is a thing at all. People have been doing simulated BJs on microphones since microphones were invented. I can almost understand it being a “gasp!” moment when Tina Turner did it in 1968, but now? For real?
