SORD sounds like she has a wonderful parter and is a wonderful partner herself. While I can understand her frustration, here’s a shout-out to her and best wishes... good to see that honesty and openness and love exist out there.

“Last remaining?” I wasn’t aware that there was ever another Babyland General. My grandparents lived down the road from the old Babyland General, which was in a big old house in Cleveland, Georgia. Several years back it was relocated to a much bigger place that I can walk to from their place, and it is kind of…

As I said, the Dems are just catching on. I’d say the unwavering support of the Clintons gets us damn close, though.

The fervor with which he gave his partisan views - that alone - would disqualify him in a rational country. But we are in a period of total war in politics, in which each party will support absolutely anyone and anything in order to get a win, any win. The GOP has been playing this form of politics for a generation,…

( golf clap )

They are shockingly good live. Seen them twice and even though Wolf’s Law and Hitch didn’t really grab me, they’re one of those bands that’s so good live they could be playing Loverboy covers and I’d enjoy it. I hope the new album strips back some of the Phil Spector wall-of-reverb-and-overdubs stuff they were getting…

Eh... I believe her. I felt that way abut one senior exec where I once worked, the moment I met him. Like the room went a bit dark when he entered.

I really hated that show. Laffs-a-plenty from the parents being dicks to their kids. Cosby seemed weird to me - no, not some sixth-sense rapey weird - in how he seemed to kind of hold court over the show and even when he was wrong, he always was the unquestioned smartest guy in the room. Add in lazy writing and Home…

I don’t always quite get what Ruprecht is saying, but I gotta agree with what some of this thread says.

I’m dumbfounded about so much of this. I’m completely the target demographic for lovin’ the franchise, being a kid when the first one came out. It so jolted my peers into loving movies that two went on to have careers in Hollyweird that can be traced directly back to wanting to either fly or design the Millennium…

My dad was in TV and met/hung out with/interviewed nearly anyone who was a celeb in the 70s and 80s. Chase must have made quite an impression on him: normally unfailingly polite, it was the only time I heard Dad refer to anyone as an “ass” after an interview.

First world problems can be pretty real, and familiar environments make you want to do familiar things. Is it possible to alter your London routine? For instance, if you always walk to the nearest Underground station the same way, take a different route. Also have lunch earlier or later, and add a stop at one of your…

Ribot is a god amongst mortals. Guy plays like he’s from some parallel universe.

I had breakfast with Bob Woodward once. Funniest part was when he rose and offered a handshake with “Hi, I’m Bob.”

My baseline for this kind of thing is The Quiet Earth, which I think did a good job of the loneliness aprés-Apocalypse. Though some of Omega Man was good at that... I’m still tempted to take a look at this.

• He says he was sexually assaulted.
  

My lack of self-esteem has kept me from going to a restaurant that even appears in the Guide. I’m sure I’ll somehow dress inappropriately or pick up the wrong seafood fork.

Two friends were in a similar situation. They were having breakfast where there was on only one other diner. The other diner left, and one of the stff (whom I also knew) came over and remarked on how cool they’d been with Michael Stipe at the next table.

That money has never been touched by human hands. Don’t touch it. Don’t even look at it.

Faye Dunaway saying she had been longing to meet me... I could then die a happy man. What a career he’s had (and is still having), and Pryce comes across as being honest and likable.
