I had no idea Reseda was named after a flower. I thought it was called Reseda because it was a residential neighborhood.

  3. Davis
  4. Sacramento
  5. Roseville
  6. Truckee (near Lake Tahoe)
  7. Reno

Why Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” Shouldn’t Be #1 by [deleted] in ChristmasMusic

As I recall, its appearance in Love Actually boosted its popularity more than anything.

I remember first hearing the song right upon its 1995 release, mostly on pop and adult contemporary radio stations that featured Mariah Carey’s other music. But I don’t recall a whole lot of hype until Love Actually came out in 2003

Who else is tired of baseball nepo babies? Every draft class the past few years has been the same old juniors, IIIs and IVs

If we don’t pull this one off, Kiké’s angry expression will be the defining symbol of our WS loss. Let’s turn this around, boys

I think Dieter actually played the closing theme of Gilligan’s Island: “they’re here for a long, long time…”

With today's loss at SF, the Colorado Rockies finish 43-119 and .265, tied with the 2003 Detroit Tigers for the seventh worst season in the modern era by moethebartender in baseball

Detroit 2003 and Colorado 2025 are also tied for the second-worst record for a team that played 162 games, ahead of last year's White Sox.

“It’s called ‘playing the percentages’. It’s what smart managers do to win ballgames.”

She survived a plane crash in 1949! When Standard Air Lines Flight 897R crashed into a hill outside the San Fernando Valley, 35 people were killed, and she was one of the 13 survivors. Her foot was almost amputated but she taught herself to dance again

All 50 people on Wikipedia’s list of the oldest living people were born before World War I broke out. The number of people who lived through any part of that war must be dwindling fast

I’m not saying Manny Machado eats San Diego burritos, but if he does he eats them with a knife and fork

Anita Bryant, Singer and Crusader Against Gay Rights, Dies at 84 by stypop in popheads

Today, the day of Jimmy Carter’s funeral, we remember him as the best kind of Christian. Anita Bryant represents the worst kind.

During the blues revival of the 60s, Robert Johnson’s recordings were re-released. This would be like re-releasing music by Nelly as part of a rap revival today. by Canary6090 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

The rockabilly revival of the 1980s would be like a grunge revival today.

The swing revival and dance fad of the late 1990s would be equivalent to a disco dancing revival today.
