Hey NJmid —

You mean "Tito." Theo's chillin' w/Bartman and a goat...

When Crawful signed, "the media" were mostly fawning and quite positive. (Using "the media" to mean the Globe, the Herald, WEEI, etc...and not the cliched knuckle -dragging morons swamping the phone lines, in other words, the "not journalists.") Crawful was pretty "backatcha" — I seem to remember some anecdote —…

With these two paragraphs of yours, you've rendered all other comments and commenters irrelevant. Not only is the logic sound but now we can all go on to read other, less worrisome and irritating shit. I love when that happens, and BTW — many thanks!

Absolutely. Just like Poehler and Fey.

Re. the "Baby Wipes" Howard/"I Love Bey" O blurb: Hey, dammitt, how'd ya know where my late '70s "Penthouse" copies were hidden?

Makeup or no, Poehler is hot. And funny. And smart. Like her buddy Fey.

DAMN YOU! You beat me to OUR meta-burn...

Lady Gator "Probi-aaauughtix" prolly just thought she was filming "Darrin's Dance Grooves Pt. 2; The Fitty Cent Edition."

You gotta stop, you're killin' me! Thou dost go where I would not be able to tread...in both your courage to publish AND your, what, Paltrowphilia? Paltrow and Irony, Dialectical Studies 101? Sorry, that's all I gots right now...

Is that, in fact, true? I'd read (or hell, maybe "misremembered") that gazpacho, as well as Caesar salad and mint pea soup were all Roman lunch inventions served to slaves. Whatever, the Goopster does as the Goopster wants, we all just marvel at her tonedeafness.

You indeed have a vexing avocation; the one who catalogs the Goopster's genius. I both envy and empathize with you. I also thank you for your service, and pray/meditate for your sanity semi-annually...one day we shall have gazpacho before the consuming warmth of my wood-burning oven, thereafter we will swing from…

Ah, Sephora...blessed godsend and Bermuda Triangle/black hole, where the better half will vanish into, thus allowing the lesser half and offspring to saunter off quietly to Gamestop, Barnes & N, Target, take a nap on the bench, etc. Also, the monster-in-law can just get her a gift card and all is right with the…

You're right. I've wasted my life. Good bye, cruel world...hold on, do they play The Band's overrated pop music in Hell?

Holy Christ, '71! Calm down! The Phish site kicked me out, where else should I go? I just said that they (the Band) were overrated, not Ray Lewis fans! Oh, and I took care of that poopy prob, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hippiesteve, I must ask you to insult me...it just doesn't feel right! Re. commercialization — I hear ya, brah.

Quite a while. I appreciate your concern.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Here's my own — I like that one Lips cd "Vs. The Mystics" or whatever. Everything else I've heard, not so much.

You had me at "Despite being 4/5ths Canadian..." Hilarious! I know, right? Those Canadians, they're so polite. See above...

I think that you're being way too generous. Howzabout "dick" instead? Much better....
