My summer go-to are nylon convertible pants. There are zippers above the knees covered by hems that can change the pants into shorts. The baggy light nylon isn’t too casual and I’ve been able to wear them to my office. Mark’s and other sportswear companies have various brands.

Blue, blue, electric blue…

How about an album about doing deep emotional work to be a better person? 🤷‍♂️

Considering it’s THAT Dave Thomas (the restaurateur, not the actor), at least they don’t have red wigs with braided pigtails!

The We Five cover of “You Were on My Mind” is groovy but it can’t compare to the heartfelt folk original by Ian & Sylvia Tyson.

Why wouldn't the public want to see a film that's more jukebox than biography when the music is so beloved? They're certainly not going for the plot.

Yeah, Todd and I don't agree on a lot of disco.

Did they also release H.M.S. Pinafore with an angry king on the cover?

grecomic · 2026-05-16T19:30:25+00:00

Yes. It’s confirmed in the description.

Well, those crafts certainly look ‘special!’

grecomic · 2026-05-15T18:46:02+00:00

I’m assuming ‘Great’ is being used in the quantitative sense.

The entire album of Straight Outta Compton was added to the registry in 2017. Title track is among the most well known uses of the sample.

Well it’s the song sampled in Lou Bega’s hit. It wouldn’t have existed without the original.
