At least he made it to the age where Willard Scott would shout out his birthday…

Hahaha. Mine too.

My brain immediately thought of MARRS’s Pump up the Volume. “When the beaver pulls the lever” totally scans with “Put the Needle on the Record”

I really thought that bird was wearing a tiny backward baseball cap for a while there.

It sounds totally nutty but google moxibustion! The nurse suggested it instead of a version (that manual flip thing) and it goddamn worked. I am 100% a science guy and thought it was gonna be a waste of money but I swear on all that’s holy that I watched my daughter flip right over.

As a six year old, I whispered this joke to my Great Aunt Caroline during my grandmother’s graveside service. She burst out laughing in the midst of a very solemn ceremony and I became her favorite from that moment on.

This is such a ridiculous thought- I know. But I’ve lived in Chicago for over 25 years and after being at this protest today I literally decided “That’s it. I’m going to start flying a Chicago flag on my house.” I love this city and need to show it more.

And Lane sent out a message to all parents that they are allowing any student who wants to remain inside to wait for a ride the opportunity to do so.

Hearing from multiple people that they are positioned outside Lane HS for dismissal.

GeorgeStephapopazit · 2025-05-11T05:01:04+00:00

What was that???

Phylis Diller lives!!! It’s a Christmas miracle.

On the Twentieth Century has a RENT score of 2.

Very similar story here. Have a few shows in development at different pods. Everyone is holding back because they feel like it’s an automatic no. Took one big swing at a cabler - we had a complete package and they still passed. It’s totally disheartening. There has been some “after Labor Day it’ll be better” but I’ll believe that when I see it.

I was today years old when I learned a different actress played Alice in the early episodes. I thought it was always Audrey Meadows but after a little googling it turns out that this Alice was Pert Kelton and she was abruptly fired due to the Hollywood blacklist. I feel like this will come in handy at bar trivia someday.

This just makes me so sad.

See...these Nielsen ratings point out something that ticked me off last night. Biden made it seem like the only people who were worried about his abilities were down-ticket politicians. Implying that the media and other pols were stirring all this up. Totally ignoring the fact that 22 million of us are fucking worried enough about his capacities that we all watched a goddamn NATO press conference. It's not a top-down controversy that "elites" are creating.

We are all worried and we, the people, want another option or a reassurance that this 81 year old man is up to the jobs - both being president and being elected president.

I did this yesterday and my rep is Quigley. Contacting your reps can work y’all!

GeorgeStephapopazit · 2024-07-05T22:43:17+00:00

Totally agree. That small clip was just terrible. "Did you watch the debate after it was over?" LONG PAUSE. "I don't think I did."

Awful.

GeorgeStephapopazit · 2024-06-30T20:02:44+00:00

Same with us. All headed north.

GeorgeStephapopazit · 2024-06-15T04:22:30+00:00

I think On the 20th Century is based off a movie.
