There are a few others, I guess. One of the guys in Bad Religion has a Ph. D in… Anthropology? Dexter from the Offspring is apprarently seriously in a biochemistry PhD program doing AIDS research.

Seriously though, 2013-14 was an unreal year for Dear Old MU. Football went 10-2 in their first season since 1941, basketball… Well.

About the only "celebrity" that I'd legit accept as a "historian" is Peter Weller. Dude teaches college courses on the Roman Empire in his free time. Holy shit.

You can see that to some degree with Obama today. Look at inauguration photos vs recent ones. He's going grey and thinning out.

Man, I'm a Mercer alum NEVER FORGET 2014 MOTHERFUCKERS

TWO MONTHS LATE ANACHRONISM REPORT: the "Hooters"-style bar they wound up in following Yousaf, there's that kind of funny bit where the waitress lists all the beers they have available as Phillip grows increasingly irritated?

The most important thing about Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is the presence of (a fat guy claiming to be) El Santo.

You get Burgess Meredith tho, right?

I wouldn't say I'm on "Team Betty" (and certainly not "Team Don"), but yeah. She's probably had one of the toughest times dealing with the changing culture.

Meridith the dim-bulb secretary. My god.

Yeah, Betty is sympathetic even when she's unlikeable - this is a woman molded from the jump-off for a world that no longer exists. She is so set in her ideas that she just plain can't adapt, which IIRC is, you know, a major theme of the entire series?

THAT DOESN'T EVEN SCAN RIGHT DUDE

I tend to go towards referring to him as "Areo Speedwagon."

RIP AOL Homepages, mourn ya till I join ya.

uh, as long as it has Abdullah the Butcher as Strong Belwas, we're good here.

uh it also had a great deal to do with what you'd like to say.

My Name Is Xenu

I've used the analogy of stand-up comedy before. You're performing in front of an indifferent audience, and the only way to survive is to get them working with you, whether it's out of love or hate. The performers who get a crowd eating out of the palm of their hand are the ones who rise to the top - it's not…

Wrestling is absolutely a sort of performance art - it's closer, in one sense, to stand-up comedy than to an athletic competition. Great athletes do not make great pro wrestlers.

It's especially weird because I've just come to grips with the media of the Bush era and what IT meant for me/for us/for America. Like, looking back on Battlestar Galactica and The Shield and how all these shows are 9/11-Iraq metaphors to one degree or another.
