My Miami born husband claims it's a NE colloquialism, and that he can't hear it without being transported to listening to men in Ban-Lon socks with sandals at the old retirement hotels on Miami Beach in the 1960s.

That whole interchange said as much about British-Australian relations as "Gallipoli" did, Morgan reached an apex of that "I'm better than you" shit when he made the remark about convicts.

I agree with you. They were more "stoned hippie I don't like my parents," but that was the zeitgeist of the generation (of which I am one) who watched those segments.

SCROTUS is a man who believes his own bullshit, isn't he?

I never understood why fake meat was supposed to taste like meat, except to appeal to carnivores who want to dabble with meat free meals. I spent summers on my grandparents' farm, and never really liked meat after how I saw a cow slaughtered. After I started avoiding it, I lost my taste for it. I never really got it…

I read that Marti Noxon came up with that story line as a way to show how depressed Buffy was. And that writing it helped Noxon deal with some bad boyfriend stuff in her past.

Just when I think I cannot love this show more, I get an episode where Christine goes on a date to the Reagan Library and Chip has an escapade involving a pan flute.

You'll age, too.

How fortunate for you! I bet he was fun, because he is a guy I like for his lack of filter. I can only imagine how he would have been as a teen in a private school.

Piers Morgan seems to think of himself as an agent provacteur, but the truth is that he's a smug, self-serving bigot. He hogged the airtime on the show with nothing but empty bloviation when I would have really liked have heard more from the other panel members.

Great reasoning!

It's relevant for the first real rime since Bassomatic, Land Shark and Velvet Jones. fuck you for everything else, Trump.

I haven't been able to get the song out of my mind since 8 November,

I think "bulbous alcoholic red" might work better.

Less than a month of the Trump presidency has brought an attack on the press, the judiciary system, the education system, our best international allies, the healthcare system, women and an entire religion. Most people don't care whether the response is artful or not. They just want to get rid of him, and, absent that,…

I'm so old I remember when David Crosby was a hot rock star and so much older that I didn't know who Fleet Foxes were.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

www.grabyourwallet.org started the boycott of Nordstroms (which is regularly on the boycott list for everything from employee overtime to real fur) which may have contributed to the drop in sales. Or Ivanka could just make really shitty products in China. Or people would rather wear pajamas to work than be associated…
