"Barcelona" is on Youtube and Chris Eigeman's "pathetic, Bible-dancing goody-goody" monologue still as sharp and funny as ever. Maybe the longest bit of non-stand-up I've memorized through repeated listening.

God, I haven't heard much JD Vance but wow, even for the dopey base is he an embarrassingly bad communicator. The RW wealthy class is so stingy that they aren't even financing their best. Or maybe they are!

Charles Grady is introduced as the guy the interviewer replaced. Then why is he leaving? The job is literally "winter caretaker."

MAD Magazine references I didn't get at the time: "The Shining" name checks baseball player Marv Throneberry when Wendy is waving her bat during Jack's final reveal as fully captured by The Overlook. Marv, meanwhile, had a less impressive MLB career than a guy in my high school. Now you know.

If you ever break your ankle, I recommend doing the sad song routine followed by an Alan Partridge audiobook. Also a good time to remind your employer's HR team how they fucked up for years and are still liable.

I'll just sit here like Ozempic Ironside instead, because I don't know any stunning 26-year-olds to banter with.

Reposting without the weird ad that attached itself to my post like some demented, off-course marketing remora:

Vic Morrow might still be with us if only John Landis had edged into horror earlier, and without glorifying a warped child predator. He could have been diverted into the full Romero zombiverse and thus got his helicopter decapitation verve sated with that iconic Dawn of the Dead shot. QED.

Gaining genuine academic credentials only to prostrate yourself for a glancing blow of fame is maybe the saddest betrayal of the very idea of education itself. The MRS degree for men who fear accomplishment but crave power.

Did we drop the Neo from Nazi out of the usual linguistic goal of brevity, or are they just such cookie-cutter fuckface loser stooges that they don't deserve a special designation?

Maggie Smith and Eileen Brennan were ~42 and ~44, respectively in "Murder By Death," and neither one appeared once on camera wearing a bra. The 70s were truly different.

While I'm idled, does anyone else think that that pint-sized incel Nazi Eagle Scout suddenly making the RW mediasphere tour looks like a malignant growth cut off of Niedermeyer's sack?

Well folks, I finally broke something. I guess I'll be tooling around Rear Window-style for six weeks. Too bad my neighbors don't seem worth watching.

RIP Douglas Adams for the 25th year. A much worthier satirist and far more creative at naming characters. Hell, he probably drew better as well, PLUS he didn't become a reactionary cunt, even after "Mostly Harmless."
