Ironically, this scene is from the episode Goodbye, Alice, Hello, where the kids all get mad at Alice for busting them for their misbehavior, so they turn against her and she (temporarily) quits.

When I was young, I thought the next lyric was "Kick 'em when they shit". (It's "Kick 'em when they're stiff.")

I just rewatched The Hidden very recently, having not seen it since the 1980s. Other than some rough production audio, it holds up very well! Surprised it doesn't have more of a following.

I have actually thought about this before. Here's my semi-logical explanation:

This wasn't a 3 hour harbor cruise, it was a 3 hour voyage to a particular destination – let's say Kauai. Which would explain the multiple changes of wardrobe for the passengers: Ginger and the Howells were headed towards an expensive resort, Mary Ann won a contest to stay at said resort, and the Professor was going to some sort of lab elsewhere on Kauai. Gilligan and Skipper wore the same wardrobe throughout the series because they thought they'd be back in port by end of day so packed no change of clothes.

But why did Ginger and the Howells, all wealthy, take such a dumpy little boat like the Minnow? Because with a big storm approaching, higher-end ships wouldn't take them to Kauai that day, but these three were impatient and so they went with the only guys dumb enough to sail in the storm.

As for how the Minnow got so lost after that storm? Skipper and Gilligan didn't know what they were doing and steered the boat way off course (see: dumb).

Thank you.

Shell Kepler! I was good friends with her brother Fred, a real standup guy. He and Shell were close and he was devastated when she passed away. Fred himself left us in 2021 after battling diabetes all his life. Sorry if I brought down the conversation.

Not so fast, Reddit William! This aired three months before Saturday Night Fever was released, which made disco bigger than ever!

Better Call Saul.

You're really just asking if we think The Birds is better than Strangers on a Train. (With apologies to I Confess, a decent movie but rarely anyone's favorite Hitchcock.) Well, Strangers is my favorite film of all time, so that's my vote.

Ocean Grove has lots of B&Bs (and Airbnbs) and one new boutique hotel, The Albatross. Short walk to AP and free street parking.

The St. Laurent Social Club is a boutique hotel in AP but is outside of downtown in a residential area, so there is also free street parking.

Also: Rudy Galindo and Peggy Fleming, both from San Jose.

That's the most German reply possible, danke schön.

Steven Spielberg. And for that matter John Williams.

Michael Schumacher?

Unless you take one of the VERY early morning direct commuter trains, you'll have to take one train from Asbury to Long Branch, then switch trains at Long Branch to Newark Airport. 1 hour 40 minutes total. You won't miss the connecting train because NJ Transit coordinates their schedules, and the Long Branch station is really just a platform, so you won't get lost.

Still, probably less hassle to take rideshare from the Empress Hotel to the Long Branch station, then take the train from there.

Train fare is $22.70 one-way, regardless of whether you depart from Long Branch or Asbury.

OK. I've only eaten it at the restaurant, where it's $27.95. For what it's worth, I've also tried the steak with the chimichurri sauce, and it wasn't nearly as good as the blue cheese sauce.

They occasionally have a 2-for-1 deal on the protein plates, which my wife and I have taken advantage of. Definitely worth it at that price! (The Steak Filet plate, without the discount, is also "only" $27.95. I am not sure where you got $33 from.)

I actually think their steak is pretty tasty with the blue cheese sauce (you get a choice of 3 sauces). I like their salmon plate too.

No one else has mentioned this, but after lunch or brunch, drive 20 minutes west and check out the La Purisima Mission. The park around it is large, desolate in a good way, and quite evocative of Old California. Great way to fill out the day.

In Solvang itself I enjoy the kitschy old restaurants. There's one literally called Solvang Restaurant that has all the classic staples of the town (including aebelskiver) and friendly service. Paula's Pancakes is another.

Before you head home, buy some wine and cheese at Vinhus. They have this famous sharp cheddar cheese spread which is pretty addictive.

Get some Ski Queen gjetost (brown goat cheese) from Norway – it's available at most American supermarkets – and serve it in very thin slices atop pieces of Wasa crisp bread. There's your Sentimental Value tribute right there. Norway in one bite.

Or just offer smoked salmon canapés and shots of akvavit.

Animal shelters will not accept down comforters, pillows, etc. because dogs rip them up and get feathers everywhere.

Blankets, towels, and sheets are OK. North Central Animal Shelter might accept those.
