Claims to be a 'Twin Peaks Historian', but has apparently never read the credits.

I had a biology teacher who regularly used to say he 'should get the Nobel Peace Prize here' for his work in quietening down the class. To my knowledge he never was recognised by the panel.

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

I never normally get any kind of review or feedback but this tour is something people can approach more easily. Here is a lovely, thoughtful piece on our Sydney show last Friday. (though I am not into any kind of karate movement as perceived here) cityhub.com.au/dave-graney-...

When they eventually need someone to play Mike Nichols, Scott Aukerman is surely the man for the job.

Yes, I read her review of 'Blood Simple' recently. Dazzling and perceptive, especially regarding M. Emmet Walsh, but in the rear-view of history, completely wrong. Seems largely motivated by knocking these two young smartarses down a peg. They can't be allowed to be this good too soon.

Noted in the comments, this is possibly the funniest band picture ever taken, with the bloke on the left only managing to get his jeans and hand in shot, and the other one cropped out entirely apart from the tip of his ear.

You all really dug the Harlequin trailer on Saturday, so let's open the vault up again and check out some of the wild international posters...

So that explains the Daily Mail! (sorry, explins)

Apparently there’s a trend on social media outlets where deliberate grammatical or spelling errors are included in posts to trigger user engagement. Frankly I find this ridiculos.
