If he’s like every old guy I’ve ever known, this just means he wants those events moved to 5 a.m.

There was legit bad blood between them! Mays thought Vince Offer was ripping off Zorbeez with the ShamWow and QuickChop with the SlapChop. Here’s Billy, in happier times.

One of these men is a talented artist and canny promoter with a gift for presenting weird counterculture to the masses as popular art, and the other is Andy Warhol.

I thought my reflexes were slowing down, but my son said “Did you know MrBeast has a sister?” and I *yelled* “SISTER BEAST!” before the words were even out of his mouth.

I’ve been digging back into CanCon to find more things Forbes hates, and was also enjoying the shoegaze sounds of Mean Red Spiders and Southpacific.

Culture was so fast moving that people like Del Shannon and Chubby Checker seemed to be of that previous generation despite their success coming barely a half decade earlier, so their genuinely good psychedelic work flopped. Nowadays they’d barely qualify as legacy acts.

One of the very few things I don’t like about Bluesky is that there are currently less than a dozen search results here for “Grunge Frasier.”

This will not stand. In honour of my brother Jon, who created it and who is not on Bluesky, here’s “Grunge Frasier.” youtu.be/jl1vN-3jiT4

I’m pretty sure that in this case, “they” means “historians, contemporary accounts, the general public, his own writings” etc.

Coincidental or not, he’s beating the hell out of guy nicknamed Macho Man who has all of the camp of the Village People song of the same name without any of the queerness.

The Barbarians’ original is tediously overexplanatory, but the lyrics really cry out for an interpretation that says “Its not a deal-breaker either way; I just want to understand my own desires a little better.”

I wouldn’t have one because I’d tell them to lay in a course and speed and then be halfway to my ready room to lie down before they hit engage. I’m not just sitting in that chair and staring blankly at the viewscreen until we arrive, like a chump.

The more I think about this, the more I wish they’d followed through on giving the show its own shark-jumping moment right at the point where it actually does start to go downhill.

Something I just learned rewatching The Office is that the big dance scene at Jim and Pam’s wedding was something they scrambled to come up with at the last minute to replace the original plot: Roy crashing the wedding on a horse to win Pam back, and then Dwight jumping the horse over Niagara Falls.

Every now and then, a friend who has much more in common with Freddie than I do politically sends me one of his takes on popular music, and I painstakingly take it down with a point-by-point rebuttal longer than the original article, thus exposing him as a jejune, vapid thinker.

Besides playing Johnny here, Timothy Bottoms is famous for playing George W. Bush in multiple projects, so it makes me feel better to imagine that this is one of them.
