Don't you mean "ball"?

You're amazing!

Are you including "Cruel Intentions" in that category?

I was sauntering up and down the radio dial in 1996 and heard "Bittersweet Symphony" as bumper music on the Rush Limbaugh show. Not sure how that came about but I think it either killed them or introduced them to a whole new audience.

I think of Air Supply as being soft rock. Maybe some Paul Simon.

I remembered Loverboy as an 80s band for some reason.

This "media rigging the election" claim because of SNL surprises me because I didn't know that many people still watched the show. I figured they learned what was on it by surfing the Net to see what the highlights were so they could be up on them for Monday morning's coffee break.

That's because Alec Baldwin knows that scripted ugliness is a hell of a lot better than that ancient voicemail he left for his daughter so he's free to be fearless.

It's not just modern days. I'm pretty sure the phrase "wet my beak" was used in the second Godfather movie when we go back to see how the Don got started.

She sort of did and nothing she can do now can win back her "Exile" fans. She fell into the trap many female singers during the riot grrrl era did. They were pissed off and they wrote some songs and got famous then they got married and had a kid and were less pissed off so they wrote about how happy they now were and…

I hated that James Blunt song from the first time I saw the video and heard his whiny voice. Someone at Walmart Radio must have liked it because we heard it at least every two days. I was so happy to find out there's a Weird Al parody of it that I shared the link with my former coworkers. Thanks, Hank_Dolworth!

I lived in a small town in Oregon that wanted to put up a statue because Raymond Carver had been born there. (Even though a possibly apocryphal tale had him going through with friends on a road trip, one of them asking "Weren't you born here?" and him replying "Maybe".) They decided against it because there were…

Perry Mason was better in black and white.

I've always thought Matlock benefited from Don Knotts's presence as well. The character is kind of a loss but Knotts being around seems to perk Griffith up and it's fun to see them together again. I hadn't realized the relationship went clear back to "No Time For Sergeants".

The words do sound similar.

If you've never seen him in the movie "Wagons East", you've missed a treat. It was John Candy's last film and God knows everybody in it deserved to be in a better film than this one, but McGinley humanizes someone who could have been a stereotype played purely for cheap laughs.

Der Wienerschnitzel in my town closed about a year ago. I didn't even get my free birthday dog. They were replaced by a Shake 'N' Burger. They were badly located for the health-conscious: right next door to a Krispy Kreme. I mean, they shared a driveway. Luckily, these temptations were allllllllll the way across town…

Fry sauce!

They're excellent but I always feel guilty when I order one. I thought it was because the pastrami and I were cheating on Swiss cheese. Now I realize it may be because I'm shortening my life and cheating my loved ones of my presence and badly needed guidance.

Can we talk about the bad "Santa Baby" covers? Madonna was okay even though she clearly did it during her Breathless Mahoney phase and over-sugared it but Taylor Swift? If you're too young for John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhall then I can't even describe how wrong it is for you to be hitting on Santa who is not only…
