These reruns on WUAB were a formative part of my childhood.
Old cars
Amen. I read some old Klan newspapers from the 1920s, and they were saying the same things about Catholics that people say about Muslims now.
This does not help.
The summer wind
Came blowing in
From across the sea...
And for the record, I had a hard time getting edited early on. (It didn't help that I worked for sadists.) It took a while for me to realize it's a collaborative process. In theory, editors are there to make your work better. Sometimes the starting point is farther back than others.
"50 Shades" fascinates me because it seems like the ultimate devil's bargain. You write a book that becomes world-famous, you make zillions and it gets turned into movies. But it's widely regarded as a terrible book.
You're at the right age...
Hey, I've been there!
Far Side cartoon showing a liner with a party taking place on board sailing towards some floating mines and a small boat apparently manned by pirates with a machine gun. There is a warship in the distance. It’s dated 12/6/87 and captioned “Through a gross navigational error, the Love Boat steams into the Strait of Hormuz”
Unexpected bit of pop culture prescience…
Someone told me I should probably get a colonoscopy.
Instead, I pooped in a box.

That was the reaction in the newsroom today.
Sumerian, not Babylonian.
Didn’t recognize him without the glasses.
Title screen for "Barney Miller," showing the Manhattan skyline.
I just refer to it as a fear of heights, but yeah. And I know exactly the guy you're talking about, and THAT made me lie down on the floor for a little bit, too. (Also, the opening sequence of "The Dark Knight Rises.")
Without fail, there is one scene in every Mission Impossible movie where I have to lie down on the floor.
“The neeeeeew Kelly! Wait, other hand!”
You never studied.
We're talking like Albert Brooks in "Broadcast News" here.
i couldn't resist defector.com/i-will-never...
Ah, I see I’m not needed here.
One thing I learned covering high school sports is that there are so many different ways to spell names. I didn’t think had that many different spellings.
Five O'Clock Charlie!
Frank: "Who controls the sky, controls the war." Herman Goring said that.
Henry: Yes, but Herman Goring liked to wear tutus and eat whole bakeries.
