54 Ford Skyliner.”

On the one hand, that car has style for miles. On the other hand, I can’t shake the feeling that it kind of looks like Steve Buscemi.

My Dad attempted to teach me to drive. I say “attempted” because he couldn’t handle it.”

I had the same experience with my mom. We had two disastrous attempts (first in a 100% empty parking lot and then an attempted lap around our subdivision) and I found the sudden loud gasps and flashes of hands hovering in my right

This is cute and all, but I was still hoping that errant tire from the other day would make a surprise return. 

Rowling’s motivations continue to elude me.”

C+ is basically “this is a movie. It’s OK.”

Sure they did. What else would you call a Thumbs Up from Ebert and a Thumbs Down from Siskel? A split decision equaled a maybe. Both of those guys used their respective papers’ preferred style in terms of grading with stars in their individual writing, but I think they would have been fine using a ternary grading

Shit, y’all. That’s big.

Oh nice! I already have it (I pirated the chopped up episodes 4-6 and edited them together myself), but I’ll keep an eye on that channel to see if they add any others. Thank you!

I’m just waiting for Quibi to fail so Peacock can buy the Mapleworth Murders and I can pirate full 30 minute episodes instead of these bullshit 9 minute “episodes” that are clearly just one act of a 30 minute episode. It’s a funny show! 

I get “Harlem River Blues” stuck in my head all the time.”

Same. I’m going to have to stop singing it in the shower for a while. 

I would call it a pretty good 30 Rock joke. 

Niles, this beaujolais is impeccable. It’s both fruity and precocious. 

And the Chicago “Reluctantly agree to wingman for a friend who lives near the Loyola campus and then screw it up because you didn’t eat a big enough dinner and also have not yet learned the power of just going home when you feel done.” scene. 

When I was 19, I bought a cassette copy of Metal Health and a giant framed conquistador painting from my local Salvation Army. The tape went in my glove compartment for about six months. One night I was riding around with some friends and one of them pulled it out and put it on. At some point the tape and very
