I watched it happen.

I hesitate on Missouri personally, but yeah, I get it. I really like the term and it explains a couple of "cousins" I had growing up.

Oh, hey.

V/H/S/Halloween, released recently, is in my opinion one of the best entries in the series.

Was your grandma Southern or Southern-adjacent, by any chance?

Why does this make me angry‽

RIP D'Angelo
and I'd forgotten about Angie Stone.

The world can be unkind sometimes. I feel bad for their son. One year, two parents gone.

Portland is the only city where I've read, in reference to an establishment there, "dangerous vegan strip club."

I've only been once but it's a city that is hard to forget.

It's still weird to hear NFL broadcasters embrace Napoleon Dynamite references

With the right mustards?

That's how you wind up with those pick-up artist guys who turn to selling you their books

Still not Gary Danielson, the worst to ever do it

Damn, I miss Keith Jackson sometimes

I really like ELO!

"Can't Get It Out of My Head" is my favorite. But Do Ya and Don't Bring Me Down are both solid rock jams.

THAT SAID, a huge caveat:

I'm fuckin' tired of the NCAA letting almost EVERY team have their BYE week before playing Bama.

One year, I think FOUR TEAMS IN A ROW had their Bye week and Bama had none. Maaaaaan....

A lot of teams see Alabama on the schedule & in their head they're down two scores before the first whistle blows.

Missouri playing a home game vs Bama said, "toe up and bow up!"

Just realized I said "honesty" system instead of "honor". In my arcade, it wasn't a system you HOPED work. The guys all liked each other, so they'd say things like, "Go get Frankie, he's up next," or "Naw, naw, back off little man, it's him, then me, then you." They kept EACH OTHER honest.

This makes me think of Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive"
