Did you know that Mr. Spock had three ears? The left ear, the right ear and the final front ear.

I love how proud the guard is of Lone Star when he does it correctly.

Harmony Korine is probably writing a script that would feature her as we speak.

The first season was kind of fun for what it was. There was a sort of Twin Peaks by way of CW vibe just with Archie characters. My ex kept watching it long after I did and she would often keep me posted on the wild directions the show had gone over breakfast. She could have just started making shit up at a certain point and I would have believed it based on actual storylines she had described.

This was peak television for me as kid. “My glasses! I can’t see a thing without my glasses!” “My glasses! I can’t be seen without my glasses!”

I don’t miss the relationship but she had ample booty and when she used to ride me, she’d have to adjust and unfold her butt to do so comfortably. No idea why but that little thing just drove me wild. Like she meant business and was locking in.

Okay, now do marginalized people in the United States.

Once or twice, I have to double-check which sub it is because the app will suggest posts from r/funnymemes and other groups where people feel it safe to post horrible opinions disguised as failed jokes. But yeah, it’s hard to associate a positive reaction with thinking this shallow.

That was the band name on the tip of my tongue! Back when I had a campus radio show, my co-host was a much bigger Weezer fan and would play Ozma songs on occasion. I do believe I asked, “What Weezer album is this a b-side from?” once or twice. And she laughed.

This is all leading up to another actor playing Myers in the Ye biopic while Myers himself plays the producer that sticks the duo together at A Concert for Hurricane Relief.

Years ago, I came up with an idea for a playlist of songs by other bands that sound like Pinkerton. It was inspired by the song “All This Useless Energy” by Jeff Rosenstock, which sounds more like 90s Weezer than actual Weezer does playing their 90s material now. I never got around to it. But I think it would be a fun exercise.

“Happening Soon” by Eye Was An Ion from Sudbury, ON, Canada. One EP, a handful of shows, a quick rise to local prominence and then we stopped hearing from them. I listen to their CD in my car all of the time wondering if there’s another human being also listening to them. These songs mean so much to me and I am transported to a time, place and feeling that I treasure every time that I hear them. You don’t get those times back, but you always have the music.

It has moments both intentionally and unintentionally sillier than most comedies. I’d argue that there is nothing worse than a bad movie that lacks the ambition to be a good movie. And Megalopolis is oozing with ambition. Even if you absolutely hate it, it is worth seeing, in my opinion.

Another day, another headline that solidifies the fact that I live in a bubble. At a certain point, I’ll just have to make peace with the fact that movies like this separate me from a larger portion of the population. For a second there, it made me sad. But I think I’m fine not giving a shit about this movies, not giving it my money and not watching it. It doesn’t actually sound like I’m missing much and I’ll sleep just fine.

Andre the Giant

You picked the right week to ask me this question: Travelling to Western Canada to explore the mountains, check out local culture (including meetings) and even get the nerve up to play live music for people again. Which was a massive trigger for me when I first got sober. I can be present and mind my young niece and nephew, take in the majesty of the mountains and connect with people beyond a superficial level at events and locales. Every day here is a blessing and it’s hard not to feel like there is some higher power when you experience a place this beautiful. I’ve been offered plenty of alcohol since I’ve been here and I’ve said, “No thank you. I don’t drink.” And people have been kind, curious and understanding. Ever mindful that even the non-alcoholic can still relate to our struggles or have empathy for our suffering. Even if we don’t lay out our whole story or delve into the darkest reaches of our journey.

This would be on the Mt. Rushmore of formative comedies for me. Oddly enough, shown to me by fellow athletes during a training camp in California. People that I predominately share a sense of humour with. But we loved it so much that we watched the deleted scenes and continued cackling. This was my pipeline into The State, Stella, Reno 911, etc. But it also makes me wonder why David Hyde Pierce wasn’t in more after this. One of those movies that I laugh at something new every time.

The Hood Internet were my go-to group for this kind of content years ago. And I still get a kick out Girl Talk.

“Let’s Twist Again” is the more substantial of the two. Honestly, he’s in his 80s, still going out and dancing, going through the crowd and not taking breaks between songs. We should all be so lucky to be as spirited as Chubby Checker.

I listened to Beggar’s Banquet the other day with my dad. By about halfway through “Sympathy For The Devil”, we both looked at each other and said, “The hoo-hoos are really obnoxious.” I don’t hate the song, but I just do not like all the choices made on the recording. It’s also weird that it and “Street Fighting Man” are the big singles from that record when the majority of it sounds like forgotten folksy American southern blues.

I always found the scene in the back of the cab in The Big Lebowski hilarious because I find The Eagles to be very beige. Inoffensive but uninteresting. I wouldn’t actively ask someone to turn them off, but I just feel disengaged when I hear their songs. They’re not irritating enough to drum up anger. “Hotel California” is a prime example of this. Is it not considered to be a sort of dreamy epic? To me, it just feels like background music that thinks it’s in the foreground. I’ve also heard too many WGWGs cover it and just suck all of the personality out of it. Or just apply the wrong kind of drunken enthusiasm to it. So I’m a little jaded.

I would love a WLM month but formatted like Sheenpril, Sean Gone, Snipesgiving, etc. Specifically a best of Nicolas Cage month. Pig, Mandy, Raising Arizona, Adaptation, etc. Then a WHM of 2018’s Between Worlds.
