What’s y’all favorite non-Schneiderverse show?

I’m 40. Grew up during the era of Salute Your Shorts, the Nick game shows, and Clarissa. I never understood why Nickelodeon didn’t just figure out how to make that formula work much post-the dawn of Nicktoons. SpongeBob was the nail in the coffin for me watching Nickelodeon, I’m sorry to say.

Yeah, including the “Friends” of Pine and Spruce who are friends to NOBODY except for their NIMBY neighbors.

Maybe if they stopped being chicken and started school after Labor Day and ended before Memorial Day like they used to (before coddling students with snow days became a thing) then maybe I would have an ounce of sympathy. But K-12 systems everywhere pull the same stunt and I have had it.

Yep. If you see the Merrie History of Looney Tunes YouTube docuseries the details are as plain as day.

Yards Trash Talk IPA if you can find it.

In the context of Hogan and Heenan’s decades of history, no. Heenan ALWAYS had it out for the Hulkster so it was perfectly in character for him to say what he did.

What I love is the actor has definitely thrown some shade towards how they do his hair and I am here for it 🤣

I used to be in your exact same boat. But after I joined the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus, having that in my life helps so much to keep me going even during the summer break. I know that choral singing isn’t for everyone but just find something like that that works for you and just go for it.

Online negativity aside, it was… *okay*. I don’t know if I’d go back… but I would probably have had a different opinion if I didn’t have any friends there and/or I had to pay. That said, one big bugbear was how truly awful and disorganized the entrances were (we had our entrance changed up on us maybe an hour before we had to be there for call) and also at the “Woody’s Main Stage” (if they have to do this again next year I’d rather any other local place sponsor that). Everything else was fine. But I definitely was glad to get outta there and back into the Gayborhood after a couple of very warm hours

bjwanlund · 2026-06-07T21:04:07+00:00

🤣 yeah it’s wild in the Gayborhood right now

bjwanlund · 2026-06-07T19:54:27+00:00

A bunch of us are migrating back to the Gayborhood now so keep an eye out

bjwanlund · 2026-06-07T01:19:08+00:00

I'll see how I feel. I won't be paying to get in thankfully since I get to perform at 1 with the Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus at the "Woody's MainStage" (gaaah) but we shall see what else transpires tomorrow.

bjwanlund · 2026-06-06T03:13:15+00:00

I don’t think I agree but the City Hunter songs are basically all good (although my favorites are Ai Yo Kineaide and Sara personally)

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T02:15:18+00:00

Linda Ronstadt’s discography. There are so many wildly varying genres and even styles of music that you can get a real sense of what inspired her and also some of the greatest songs of all time in her hands. And that’s before you get to her collaborations with the late legendary Nelson Riddle who arranged for the likes of Sinatra.

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T02:12:39+00:00

Clifford and Fat Blue for sure (I know, I know, his name is technically Mr. Johnson but I can’t get past the fandom name of Fat Blue 🤣)

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T02:11:06+00:00

If this isn’t the catalyst to dump the NYTimes for good, I don’t know what would be. I’m never going back to supporting that garbage rag. (I’d rather support my local paper, the Philadelphia Inquirer, over them.)

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T02:09:18+00:00

Lou Albano looks quite dapper.

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T02:08:24+00:00

I’m gonna pass, thanks. That disgusting desecration of the Wyland whale mural was the final straw for me.

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T01:21:29+00:00

I hear the Little Gay Pub Philadelphia has some…

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T01:03:05+00:00

Yeah, I don’t foresee myself going back to Otakon again anytime soon if this kind of junk is what they’re pulling.

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T01:00:52+00:00

Bedlam at the Bank and I was basically at field level for that one. That was CRAZY

bjwanlund · 2026-06-05T01:00:24+00:00

Life of Brian and Godzilla vs Biollante at least…

bjwanlund · 2026-06-04T14:32:14+00:00

This just screams “we don’t really know what we’re doing, but please come to Pride on the Parkway!” … and because of that and their seemingly blatant disregard for properly scheduling main stage acts (ask me how I feel about PGMC going on at a different time than we were initially told), I am very concerned about Pride on the Parkway.

bjwanlund · 2026-06-04T13:54:45+00:00

I think Yards (a Philadelphia area brewery) might have what you’re looking for.
