I remember all this in the 80s since Baby Gothick was born in 1980 and I followed these cases keenly. One rallying cry from accusers was that “We believe the children! Children don’t lie!”

Girlfriend looks like she’s been run hard and put up wet.

I would bet the rent that family was American. Because we are mostly dumb in this country, and treat other countries like our own personal footstools.

This sad story, along with many other terrible things our age is subjected to (see: Trump et. al) makes me wonder if the Internet will be the end of civilization. I’m serious.

Conan the American!

Conan the American!

OK I’ve been wanting to ask this and this seems like an appropriate place: WTF is wrong with one of her eyes? They don’t seem to track in the same direction. What my dad used to call gotch-eyed. You’d think with all that money she could get that fixed?

I remember the one from the early 80s. Kind of meh. I made one of those cardboard box pinhole things, and beheld a tiny circle of light that became halfway obscured. I for one am failing to get excited about this one, and I live pretty close to the path of totality.

If you don’t pay your subcontractors, sure you can!

Oh yeah! That last scene of Perfect Storm. *shudder*

He was amazing in Blade Runner!

She was in a little throwaway movie in the early 80s called Flesh + Blood, with Rutger Hauer (who I’ve had the hots for ever since).

My dear departed paternal grandmother, a great lady in the Melanie Wilkes vein, used to say, “I do not care what other people do with their little pink private parts.” She would then go on to say something along the lines of not doing in the street and frightening the horses. It would be a better world if more people…

You can always tell when Trump learns a new word or phrase, because he repeats it several times. By tomorrow he will have forgotten it and/or moved on to a brand new word or phrase., which he will repeat for awhile.

Also The Book of Eli, for a lovely foretaste of the landscape.

OMG Threads. How well I remember that devastating ending.

The children have supposedly never been to school.

Jesus God, and here I was thinking the only problem was little wax droplets on the buttercream icing. Must you ruin everything, science??

A terrible pain that was mercifully brief- when I was in ICU for a week with congestive heart failure, arterial blood gases had to be measured daily. This involved sticking a large needle deeply into the underside of my wrist and poking around between the wrist bones for the artery. Maybe this particular medical…

Overgrown leprechaun?? That is an insult to Mad Sweeney, one of my favorite guys!
