@kirkhamilton.com Lovely interview with Jerry Granelli (from around his 80th birthday in 2020), being replayed now to mark 60 years of A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...
@kirkhamilton.com No doubt this has popped up in your feed already, but just in case…
Ever been to the museum in New Jersey?

Emily Elizabeth presents her Big Red Dog, Clifford, with a cake. Clifford is still a puppy, only twice her size, and he’s lying down in the opening of his enormous yellow doghouse (which probably only lasted a week). Emily Elizabeth is wearing her trademark outfit (pink long-sleeve shirt, black skirt, black-and-pink striped knee socks), topped with a pink heart apron. Both Clifford and Emily Elizabeth look very happy. As they should!
@kirkhamilton.com I do hope you got your wife a Big Red Dog. (No doubt she got a bunch of these jokes as a kid…)

Hey Jack, here’s what happens in The Village, Year One.

Even though science fiction writer Robert Heinlein was a lifelong champion of libertarian ideals, he still managed to see the dangers of ‘freedom from civilization’ in his short story, “Coventry” (1940). (Unfortunately it also inspired aspects of Hubbard’s Dianetics.)
A Flegg in its natural habitat
Another Flegg deciding how to tear down a wall.
Apropos of nothing, spotted these in the wild…

@billsimmons.bsky.social Kids on the beach in the ‘70s = Rush’s “Lakeside Park”. A better time.
“Everyone would gather on the 24th of May
Sitting in the sand to watch the fireworks display
Dancing fires on the beach, singing songs together
Though it's just a memory, some memories last forever”
Loved the episode, and the project as a whole.
A little surprised no mention of WEDDING CRASHERS, perhaps Ferrell’s ultimate man-child turn. Could have been on the “Recommended if you like…” list. (Fun aside: first R-rated comedy to gross over $200M)
“MA!! THE MEATLOAF!!”
I respect and support your decision, and the difficult process that got you here. It’s disappointing but perhaps unsurprising that some portion of AMCA’s listeners responded poorly, but this franchise attracts all types. Don’t let a vocal minority get you down! Also, Austin made a golf analogy. 😮
Who’s the man from the clan, who wants to eat you and me?
L-E-A, T-H-E, R-F-A-C-E.
Leatherface, Leatherface, forever he will wave his chainsaw high! (HIGH! HIGH!)
Etc.
I can imagine. I’m a typical WASP, families have been here from Scotland, England and N. Ireland for generations, and still have that affinity. Canada will try and reaffirm its connections thru the Commonwealth to offset this nonsense, but every country is going through it these days.
Loved the repartée with Yasi and Amanda. (You were okay too. 😉)
Wondered where you land on the James McTiegue-directed Wachowski adaptation of Alan Moore’s V FOR VENDETTA (2005). Film itself has flaws, but still compelling and features some terrific performances. Feels increasingly relevant.
…and we thought the US was disliked around the world before. 🤯 This new era of utter abdication of moral responsibility is achieving record lows every day. I wonder how many decades will pass before they accept accountability for the damage they are doing right now.
A cat rests its head, their face a portrait of a deep despair.
when you realize that life is meaningless and you still have eight more to go
Slellwreck ruins all my jokes.
Nothing to do with me not being very funny. Definitely not that.
It’s self-cauterizing. Like love.
I’m petty like that. 🤷♂️ 😉
Nah, happy it’s out. I’d just never encountered the word “skelf” before, and with “tiny wee” in front of it, it sounds like you had a pixie in your finger.
Sometimes the grownup in the room just has to say “No”. There should be people in every arm and office of the US Government taking similarly principled stands against illegal executive orders and their enforcement.
A Valentine’s Day gift for the fans.
… that’s “Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Infantile Paralysis” to you.
…starting with the dingus who invented it.
Toad is my spirit animal.
A sweet kid for years. When did he get so MEAN? 😭
Apparently your Valentine’s date is the Bubonic Plague. But hey, you slept! That’s good.
THIS is how it’s done.
“Tiny wee skelf” made my day. 😊
I mean, such a fragrantly (and flagrantly) ripe fake should be obvious to anyone, but yeah. Critical thinking, folks - let’s use it!
… named for the Marquis de Sade, famously an Englishman.
(But really, those are excellent. 👍🏼👍🏼)
