I dropped in to say something pretty much the same — keys get left in the visor when you’re specifically leaving a car for someone else, and you don’t want to leave the keys in the ignition to be easily seen, but also want the person picking it up to not have any trouble figuring out where they are (or to be able to…

As I tried to make clear, the theory’s not suggesting the Mirror, Mirror universe, it’s suggesting a parallel universe.

2. Why does everyone keeping typing “cannon” when they mean “canon?”

I’ve actually heard it rumored that the whole Discovery series might be taking place in a universe parallel to TOS (not the evil Mirror, Mirror universe, but a different one), and that Lorca is actually from the TOS universe and marooned in this one, trying to nudge it into what he perceives as the “right” direction.…

Certainly Charles Haid’s scenery-chewing performance as the maniacal redneck Canadian sheriff should have left no doubt.

I’m greatly impressed by your trance-channeling of an 11th century pop culture nerd.

Yeah, I mean, just look at the Bayeux Tapestry. Even the perspective is rudimentary at best, but it still tells a hell of a story.

Good Lord! Gigantism!

I’ve been indifferent to baseball all my life, and I still consider it one of the all time best Simpsons episodes.

You achieved one other victory — Champs Honkstreet is a pretty excellent team owner name.

She was born in California, so it appears only distantly, if at all.

That Corman never got to make a Blacula movie featuring Frankie and Annette and Vincent Price is something of a tragedy, but he was a busy guy, I guess.

Re the “camp” — The ‘70s SNL episode on which Carrie Fisher appeared had a Frankie and Annete beach movie parody (in which Ms. Fisher appeared fairly eye-poppingly in a bikini) that featured Dan Ackroyd doing a pretty spot-on and thoroughly fey impression of a Vincent Price cameo. I recall at the time thinking “Hey,…

Yarnell was something of a tween crush of mine, so I’m pleased to hear that she wasn’t a jerk... Not so pleased to just now find that she passed away from a stroke 7 years ago :(

Bowser definitely had the most extensive solo career — he turned up as a variety show and game show guest frequently into the early ‘80s, as well as a lot of nightclub and amusement park shows.

...or some other white, granular substance.

Yeah, I’ve heard tell of kids in marathon South Korean arcade sessions ending up dehydrated or dead from heart failure, but at least they seem to have been sitting down while they wasted away.

Or the “Thunderbird Photo”.

Only zombies drive Alfa Romeros.

It’s great that the theme song/intro subverted the convention of encapsulating the premise of the show — While the intro makes it appear that Oliver is the one joyfully embracing rural life, and Lisa resisting it, in fact on the show it’s she who ends up adjusting pretty casually to the insanity of Hooterville, while…
