Red Foreman on “That 70's Show” was a Korean War veteran. I always assumed that the “forgotten” nature of that conflict was one of his myriad sources of resentment. He may have said as much in one of his tirades, but I’m not totally sure.

Here’s the situation: receptive partner in anal sex, insertive partner is longer than average, which makes vigorous insertion painful. It hurts more in some position than others, but those positions are...most desirable. I don’t want to tell him not to thrust so hard though. Not because I don’t want to communicate my…

Not silly to say at all! For me, context adds so much to the arousal factor. Situations and scenarios get me interested very quickly, if they’re the right kind, and often are much more arousing than any actual final consumation.

“Caligula” is pretty much the opposite in every way of the porn musical “Alice in Wonderland”. It’s like Dan just threw out “Caligula” without knowing literally anything about the porn musical “Alice in Wonderland”. It’s like the most random, inappropriate Netflix recommendation possible. It’s like recommending…

Heh missile silos

That’s awesome - what’s really amazing to me is how she leaned into the sexism which was so rampant and just taken for granted. “Dolly Parton jokes”(ie: big breast jokes) were EVERYWHERE around her for a long time, and she encouraged them, and laughed with them, and then outlasted them to become the titan she is today.

“The money is in songwriting royalties”. Perfect time to just throw out Dolly Parton, who had the foresight and tenacity to hold onto complete ownership of her songs as soon as she was able to start doing so. Even to the point of denying Elvis Presley the right to record “I Will Always Love You”, because he got 1/2…

I worked for awhile at a job which was proving to be very very difficult for me to catch on to. It didn’t help that the boss liked to come in and interrupt us regularly, in order to jabber about some meaningless shit that had come into her head, about whatever.

I remember reading an interview with him in People magazine in the late Eighties where he said “If I ran for president now, I would win”. He seemed pretty sure of it. At the time I just kind of dismissed it, but now I definitely wonder if he knew something

I hope nobody minds that I’m going to recap the last week for me. I’m old, and just have never gotten used to the idea of paying! for television!! This means, of course, there’s been a lot of television programming which I’ve read about, but never seen. I finally broke down and subscribed to Netflix in May, though.…

I went to our local indie theatre and saw the B&W “Fury Road”. I’d loved the movie already, and thought a friend would like it too. She almost didn’t go though, once she found out it was in black and white. “Jonnieboyagain”, she said, in a truly condescending tone, “I SEE in color”. What? I don’t know. We’re still…

The real difference to me is that Mike Myer’s bits have an undercurrent of “This is genius, and anyone who doesn’t think so is an idiot and a loser”. Whereas Martin Short’s bits are more, “I can’t help myself! Come along, or don’t, I won’t blame you either way! But it’d be great if you did!”

He drove me crazy on “Schitt’s Creek”, but in a very good way. By the end of the show’s run I was involuntarily screaming “Shut up, Roland!” whenever he’d start to say anything. Then laughing my head off.

Cary Grant always looked gorgeous of course, but to me, he looks best, BEST in “Charade”, when he was sixty. 

I don’t know about all of the movies, because I read the article at work and therefore couldn’t watch the video with sound - just subtitles.

THAT was funny. I still remember laughing.

98 minutes, to be precise. Seriously.

Blackface/minstrel caricatures never do, though. It’s kinda their raison d’etre.

I genuinely, unabashedly loved “Borat” and thought it was hilarious - truly hilarious. Though even there, some things made me think - um, what’s the point of this? Like the dinner party. But some things I laughed at so hard - the little “cluck” when he threw his satchel down, his finally getting the point of “Not!!”.

Yeah, easy shots at easy targets
