Strangely, I remember when Dana Loesch was a popular newspaper columnist here in St. Louis. All her work seems to have disappeared from the Post-Dispatch website, but in 2006-2008 she wrote Mamalogues, a fairly standard (and usually pretty funny) column about parenting.

As a proud St. Louisan/Cardinals fan, it’s to our lasting shame that Dana Loesch is one of us.

Yeah, I really don’t think it proves anything that when she walks into the room, his face lights up like a Christmas tree and he immediately says she looks amazing. I’m not saying it disproves anything, but who wouldn’t have that reaction?

Strictly speaking, it’s a 100+ year old getting a high school boner and simultaneously wrestling with the primal urge to tear her limb from limb and literally eat her alive in front of their chemistry class.

Fair point.

Also, Snyder apparently didn’t get how accidentally setting off the flamethrower was a joke. But then again, I just re-watched that clip and wondered if Laurie was really aiming for the hilariously dong-shaped missile on the button next to it.

If you see any 15 seconds of the Twilight movies, you really should make it the start of this clip:

I’m just here to applaud IV on the line “...back when the star still did most of his own standing” 

Yeah, it’s been a while since I saw any of his work, but this is... not what I remembered.

Also: Professor Xavier is, in fact, a jerk.

The title alone made this the high point of my afternoon. Bless you O’Neal.

Yeah, the guy with the toilet seat on his face can only be Shatterstar.

Bishop was my first thought.

Thank you, it’s been way too long since I saw an episode of Yacht Rock.

I laughed at that. Have a star, for all the good it does now.

Good lord, there are a lot of old tv-movies on youtube.

From other things I’ve read, the town was small enough that they didn’t have their own police. This was one corner of a large county with a small sheriff’s office, and the sheriff’s main involvement was (more than once) giving the ever-so-helpful suggestion to “keep an eye on him” with a neighborhood watch.

You’re welcome. I remember seeing news reports about it when I was a kid, where they referred to him as “a local bully” as a euphemism for all that. I couldn’t believe it when I finally got around to looking up the specifics online.

You missed the very first one that came to my mind - “In Broad Daylight” (1991), with Brian Dennehy and Cloris Leachman. It was a terrible TV movie based on the fascinating and profoundly fucked up story of Skidmore, MO.

It was almost identical to the cut they used a couple episodes earlier, to show Kim taking a 5 minute power nap in her car.
