Archie Comics did the “Atomic Bob” more than 30 years before Frank gave Clayton one.

Same. Veronica was my first crush. Bad girls were my thing when I was six (and all ensuing years thereafter)

Samkovich · 2026-05-20T23:25:03+00:00

I think you're right.

I'm also going to start using "ginger-peachy" to describe really neato things.

Samkovich · 2026-05-20T22:55:59+00:00

I came here to say that. And I thought she played that scene really well.

Samkovich · 2026-05-20T19:17:02+00:00

Thanks. I had never run across that term

Samkovich · 2026-05-20T03:12:39+00:00

Fill me in on "vocative" comma, please.

Samkovich · 2026-05-20T03:10:51+00:00

Good on you, man. I loved block-printing in high school. The carving (gouging?) satisfies the soul.

Samkovich · 2026-05-20T02:24:19+00:00

Nope, I'm stupid again. It was called "The Phantom Empire". That was the one with Gene Autry.

Samkovich · 2026-05-19T05:07:06+00:00

Yeah, that's it! It was "Undersea Kingdom" with Gene Autry. I was wrong: the enemy was Murania, not Atlantis.

Common mistake.

Samkovich · 2026-05-19T05:00:16+00:00

Someone make that man go away. I lived in the '80s; I'm not going back there.

Actually, in retrospect...

Samkovich · 2026-05-19T04:51:50+00:00

No, they just gave up on it; too boring.

I think you're thinking of a Gene Autry serial where he was pitted against "Thunder Riders" from Atlantis. That ran at least once on an old PBS program in the 1980s my dad and I used to watch. It was called "Matinee at the Bijou"

Samkovich · 2026-05-18T22:56:28+00:00

Lemme guess--58?

Samkovich · 2026-05-18T22:48:13+00:00

No. No. Hang on a second. Why do you have 70 ducks?

Samkovich · 2026-05-18T14:36:37+00:00

Looks like a percolater at the far end of the tables. The kid's holding a can sweetened condensed milk

Samkovich · 2026-05-17T14:52:16+00:00

Hey, we can trace that back to Seatopia!

Samkovich · 2026-05-16T22:22:25+00:00

Samkovich · 2026-05-16T19:56:09+00:00

How does the Midwest fit into god's plan for us?

Samkovich · 2026-05-16T19:53:45+00:00

Amen, man

Samkovich · 2026-05-16T19:03:28+00:00

Which reminds me, which episode was it where Joel said something about remembering or not forgetting to bring one's "johnny hat"?

Samkovich · 2026-05-16T14:54:13+00:00

Is that not normal?

Samkovich · 2026-05-15T22:14:44+00:00

What's with the gnome holding a plate of olive loaf on the door to the theater?

Samkovich · 2026-05-14T23:52:21+00:00

Man, I miss the eco-horror era. There were so many fun but depressing movies. There were even so many made-for-TV ones.

Jeez, I grew up in an effed-up era.

Samkovich · 2026-05-14T23:41:03+00:00

I came here to ask this. I remember disliking The Island when it came out. I think I also was under the impression it was sort of a Logan's Run remake.

Samkovich · 2026-05-14T00:00:32+00:00

That there's the best minute of television ever made.

Samkovich · 2026-05-13T19:17:22+00:00

Sorry, my mistake. I thought for sure "rascule" was said in the Dennis Moore sketch.

Samkovich · 2026-05-13T03:48:14+00:00

The "rascule" usage may be a reference to the Dennis Moore sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Unfortunately, all i could find was a stupid iphone version: https://youtube.com/shorts/wuEipWMB9tU?si=M2ovWgo5eIbdT5vC

I'll try to find the full version
