Every east bay person I know feels like they’ve met her or babysat her or saw her at the Grand Lake or whatever. So pure.

Wow, Judaism deep cut! Do I get to throw shank bones like Castlevania axes? We should probably be consultants

Oh my god. Vince was a visionary talent and more importantly a genuinely nice guy. Heartbreaking.

It’s hard to describe how you feel after seeing David Byrne. Hopeful? Buoyant? Inspired?

Yes.

Also Discs of Tron. And then maybe the old lightcycle sequence in the Disneyland Peoplemover. But that’s gotta be it.

Found this E3 2004 gem in the storage bin today. No idea if stuff like this is valuable, but sure is cool.

Incredible! I would have instantly shit my pants, and then put the Shit in the Weathered Hat I found inside the hollow of Old Man Tree, and then I would have typed Throw Shit Hat at Leprechaun to get him to drop the Shiny Goblet (that you have to piss in to get past the troll bridge)

Dr. Demento

Dr. Demento is retiring, which is news in that I thought he was dead. But of course he has a website, and of course that site is using tech from 1997, and OF COURSE it’s got an archive of *every Dr. Demento episode*

Anyway a big fuck yeah to Dr. Demento and his demented website

Louis Gossett, Jr. peed next to me during intermission at a high school play, and he loudly farted mid-stream
