That's entertainment.
I do it too. I'm pathetic. I need more friends. Claude, how do I make more friends?
The show was often silly, but the intro was wonderful.
Siri, tell me a joke.
Pitch-perfect parody of every college administrator who ever lived.
Yeah, but it's the martial arts choreography that really comes through for me.
His birth name was Krekor Ohanian (an Armenian name). He hated the name "Connors," which his agent gave him. In his early appearances (like "Swamp Women," 1956), he was billed as Touch Connors. ("Touch" was a nickname given him by his high school basketball teammates.)
A bit above average.
So that's Dave Sim. That explains a lot.
Cover detail from "Tom Swift and His Giant Robot," a 1954 novel featuring Tom Swift, Jr.
It's true: Mannix got slugged or shot before a commercial break in every episode. Often both.
"Rattle Hymn of the Repulsive" has a certain lilt. "Gory, gory hallelujah" must be the chorus.
I understand there are factories & workshops there.
"Uh... guys? Could you pull us up? Like, real soon? Guys?"
An antique game board for "The Wonderful Game of Oz," featuring elements of "The Wizard of Oz" and its sequels.
I found this reassuring: "My drafting process is pretty chaotic, and it can sometimes take me a long time to “get in the pocket” with a voice on the page that I want to move forward with."
Will Ferrell in the title role of the 2003 film "Elf."
Honest! I lived in Reno for 2 years. The magazine we printed in Elko included a story about a female cab driver in Reno and how the famed Mustang Ranch brothel handled things when she brought fares there and had to wait there until they finished.
There was a printer there who was a friend of the journalism professor.
These are wonderful. I overnighted there once too, in 1976, for a journalism school project. Genuinely glad to see it hasn't changed.
Country Joe McDonald (1942-2026), whose protest song "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag" was a highlight of Woodstock.
Come on all of you big strong men
Donald Trump needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way over yonder there in Iran
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fightin' for
Don't ask Trump, he don't give a damn
Next step is bomb Tehran
Ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! They're all gonna die
He's been that way for years.
Cover of "River of Crime," a 2006 album by avant-garde band The Residents. Knives and other deady projectiles zero in on a shadowy figure whose hands cover his face.
1. I always have a pair of 3D glasses by my bedside for situations like this. I agree.
2. I wonder if this inspired the 2006 album by The Residents?
I was going to post that this was the best Os Mutantes song Os Mutantes never recorded. Then I discovered that Rita Lee, formerly of Os Mutantes, was half of Cilibrinas do Éden.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in "Son of Frankenstein."
This, not Dracula, is Bela Lugosi's best performance, IMHO.

Do you suppose that when Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon and Hunt Bowman and Spurt Hammond and Adam Strange and Flint Baker and Gale Allen got together for beers they'd point and laugh and say, "Here comes good ol' Barney Carr?"
And five out of ten I won't understand.
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
