This does not mean you should expose yourself to more girls. That's bad! Bad Char-Vell!

whatchoo talkin' bout willis?

Our fisherman, who art in rhombus,
wookie be thy name.
These hippies come,
with guitar and drum,
on tour as it is in Stonehenge.

Give us this day, our daily Fred
and forgive us our post stats,
as we forgive metalheads who go to Phish shows.
Lead us not into the biscuits, and deliver us from ospreys

I just do not like Phish.

Seconded......

I see they're making a movie about Sherman and Mr. Peabody. That's cool. Characters like that need to be kept in the public eye for the younger kids to continue enjoying.

I hope they do Beany and Cecil next.

Not Tennessee Tuxedo??

Wait, I guess the Go Go Gophers are what's stopping that from getting any airtime ever again. If that's the case, it's a shame. Yeah, you could see that as stereotyping and offensive, but the Indians always got one over on the soldiers, so you could also see it as groundbreaking.

Unfortunately, the Mr Peabody and Sherman trailer is laugh- and charm-free. Makes me sad, as I loved the shorts.

I would love to see some Gophers again but I'm afraid you're right. Again. Dammit!

Agreed. I think what made Peabody so great is lost in this new iteration.

I was teaching a student on the ice this morning when it dawned on me:


The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have finally shown me the way to get people to realize that Lou Malnati and I are right about pizza and they are all wrong.


(For those of you who have never seen this conversation before, there are things that ARE pizza, and things that are NOT pizza. Personally, I can't stand onion OR green pepper on my pizza, BUT I recognize them as appropriate pizza condiments. Chicken does not belong on pizza. It has stopped being pizza and started being something else at that point. BBQ sauce sure as hell does not belong on pizza and certainly turns it into something else.)

In the new Turtles show (that you should all be watching because it's so great and even a comic-loving-80s show hating-old stick in the mud like me loves it) a sushi chef makes Pizza Gyoza for them.

The only way for them to know it's PIZZA Gyoza is for it to be PIZZA flavored!

If one used the ingredients for BBQ Chicken "pizza" then it would just taste like BBQ Chicken Gyoza, NOT BBQ Chicken "pizza".

Also, if someone gave a scratch and sniff sticker (remember those??) to you but it didn't have a picture on it, and asked you to guess what the smell was and it smelled like pineapple, you'd guess it was your Aunt's Lime Jello Marsh-Mallow Cottage Cheese Surprise "dessert" instead of thinking it was pizza.



This just in:

Lou Malnati's courting Chase Bank for funds to build new sit-down locations across the Chicagoland area. Chicagoans rejoice! (Unless you'd want chicken or pineapple on your "pizza", because Lou's will tell you "Tough luck".)

I hate these sorts of statements almost as much as I hate font or linguistic style snobbery.

1. Who makes this determination?

2. Why the hell ought I care?

What if I use all Italian toppings, but use a big flour tortilla for the crust?

I was all ready to hate it when I saw the poster for it.

But when I saw a commercial, I was thinking of giving it a spin.

(Yes, this IS me. No one has hacked my account. I know this probably seems out of character for me.)

I liked the shorts. I'm not certain if they had enough material from which to make a full movie. So it's possible that they will go in a direction that, to you, doesn't seem like Mr. Peabody, and I'd fully support your dislike of it if you've already gotten that much from the trailer.

Remember the last round of "We're Hollywood We're Out Of Ideas For Movies So We're Rehashing Old TV?"

Coneheads?

My Favorite Martian?

Flintstones?

I was thinking the other day about asking you about where you (and The Captain) are on The Phantom and The Shadow movies.

I saw them both on video back in the 90s. My response was "eh". But I guess I didn't hate them. BUT, I also really like Cliffhanger back then and despise it now, so maybe I was young and stupid. They get fairly bad ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.

You guys and I are the resident Old Guys around here from what I can tell, and I don't know for certain that you have the same exposure to the source material, but I thought I'd ask.

Where is the line between decent spelling and grammar (which, to the best of my knowledge, you display on a regular basis) and font or linguistic style snobbery?

1. Me. I'm being a pizza snob. Are you new?

2. You ought not.

3. Your Numbered List is not long enough to be cool.

4. Numbered Lists are cool.

Nice one!

I'm thinking that there are so many differences in crust, that this has got to just be pizza. I'm fairly certain the the ingredients for a flour tortilla match, almost exactly, the crust of several pizza recipes.
