IMO, it has to do more with hipster ideology of infecting everything. The term has been hijacked. Even something as mundane as Blue Apron's ramen is now "special", "artisanal", "unique". We once lived in a time where we knew were all different but celebrated our commonality. Now we live in a world which demands…

Before Al Gore invented the Information Superhighway, we used to just read The Book of Lists on the toilet to find information like this. I recall one died from laughing so hard at his painting of a hag he burst a blood vessel.

I cannot figure out why they think Sandi Toksvig is a good idea. But she does have a quiz show background. Being in the US, I am only aware of her from QI, but I find her to be too clever by half.

I love the 1970s Match Game but I do find the current one a nice way to close off a Sunday. It is funny enough, the contestants all act like they are having their asses tickled with a feather, there is hugging. It appears they are drinking.

Wasn't Teri Garr in "Tomorrow Is Yesterday"?

Honestly, I cannot think of one. I do recall he once tried to force us to hear him sing.

Kinda like them using Roger Ebert's DVD commentaries to replace his voice after cancer surgery.

I liked Regis and Tony Randall fighting to get on any TV show.

I like my screen name. The cee is for "chicken".

You know, I have been trying to find out what exactly taking The Lord's name in vain entails. Hitting your thumb with a hammer and saying, "Jesus Christ!" is not doing so. But swearing to God with the intention of deceiving is.

Be sure to get errors and omissions insurance.

Few people chose their legislation during the Progressive Era. Ask Eugene Debs.

In re Blair: Check out this hilarious video. Yes, it is a North Korean propaganda video. It also is hilariously true until the ending. The best is the Majel Barrett/ Ingsoc voice of the narrator.

I enjoy a fart joke in movies. If there is a fart, that's an automatic ½ star. So even Hot Dog: The Movie gets a little love.

It is very important that the government regulates any voluntary transactions between two consenting parties as much as possible.

Get Shorty, Men in Black. Quit while you're ahead.

Costumes where you have to label them can be a mite trying. Though I was Kitty Dukakis one year. I just wore a plush bathrobe, a curler wig, smoked B&H 100s, and drank out of a rubbing alcohol bottle as I padded around various bars in fuzzy slippers. And I spent all night saying, "I'm Kitty Dukakis."

R.N.: The Memoirs of Richard Nixon, I'll agree does not fall into his best writing. It is often maudlin and I think his wounds were still raw. But the high advance was contingent upon his discussing Watergate. And Six Crises, an odd book meant to be a Profiles in Courage knock-off, is a bit of Nixon patting himself on…

I am more than happy to debate the Alzheimer's in office hubbub, but what is more interesting is that it was considered very bad form for a president to profit off of the office once out. It was one thing to write a memoir (and U.S. Grant's is still the best - though it is not about his presidency).

Eh, I was a prick in my 20s. I enjoyed the outrage. I did respond, "Would Lincoln have been OK?"
