Yeah, I forgot about Lady Bird.

My take too. I mean, most of the other people on that show aren’t going to get any bigger meal tickets. Goodman’s still pretty employable.

It’s the 500 pound chip on the shoulder that is so endearing. Harvey Pekar is the embodiment of your fine city, and I say that with love and respect.

Prison food is kind of like airplane food, in that taste and texture are not the priorities. Being able to reheat it and serve it quickly is. Also, your spelling of “tons” makes me pretty sure that your nursing home patients are treated better than here. I had a friend who went into a coma from long drinking and was…

Being shocked by any of those facts makes me change to....fifty shades of Gray.

Oh, surviving this would not be difficult, mein Fuhrer, er, Mr. President, but we need to close the vault shelter gap.

I think he’s mustachey enough for the mustache club.

Andy Serkis is a wonderful, pleasant interview. That thing he did on Colbert where he read a few Trump tweets as the Gollum was magic.

I know somebody who works for chronicle books, she had to do the publicity for the Grumpy Cat book. She took it seriously, but what else are you going to do.

Death for some, presidential candidates for others!Edit: Nevermind, somebody beat me to it, have an upvote!

Isle of Dogs? Say it fast. Isle of dogs, isleofdogs...oh brother. Somehow, this reminds me of that statue in downtown San Jose that supposedly portrays the Aztec God Quetzalcoatl, but looks exactly like a seven-foot high pile of fresh dog droppings. Robert Graham grew up in San Jose and he seems to have not been a big…

Half the painters and plasterers in San Francisco are illegal Irish. I’m sure there is some plaster/plastered joke here.

I don’t know, I got a free Coke zero on Oxford street in London a few months ago....

This reminds me of a David Letterman line from 30 years ago or so: “I have a theory about Madonna: she loves to shock us.”

I’ve heard this called “write drunk, edit sober”

This is an old, old thread, but I dated a woman who dated the bass player from The Tubes for awhile. She said that they recorded that song from Now, My Home is My Only House, on shrooms. Good Lord that song is terrible.

I knew what he meant. Lux and Ivy had a great marriage, by all accounts, loving and sweet, and Lux was also a sweet guy who had great taste in music. And, to his credit, a complete nut on stage.

This whole column was great. That was great advice to a 10-year old, and I always wanted to meet Fats Domino too. I saw Johnny Adams at the Jazz Fest many years ago. While I didn’t see him backstage or anything, sitting in the stands, drinking a Dixie, and seeing my favorite singer live was something I’ll never…

I immediately thought Thunder chicken!

A Sympathy Star for you!
