Oh wow. I remember reading that in Omni as a very young man and having my mind rearranged. Looking forward to it. Thanks for mentioning it!

Buying that run when it came out is how I know I’m old and also blessed.

My own eye troubles led me to read “percussive exfoliation” which, hmmmmmm. Good luck on the surgery. For me it was like a damn miracle.

When my wife, who is British, and I were still dating, she saw one on a walk through Central Park and asked me what it was. I told her she would t believe me but we call it a robin. Then we loved to the UK and I got to deal with wood pigeons.

When Marty said “Jonestown” I laughed so loud. I needed that bad.

Which reminds me: would you consider a Cyndi Lauper wrestling fan drawing or, better still, painting? I’d be very interested.

Do you think one of your packaged pots would survive shipping, an airplane ride to America, and reshipping? I really want to get a pair and give one to a friend.

Robbie stands out for how little chart success vs how much effort was put forth to crack the US charts.

Text in a picture typically can’t be read by an accessible browser. By eg ocring the picture and then pasting as much of the text as possible into the alt text, you increase its accessibility. A jpeg of text isn’t “text”. This isn’t my best explanation ever but I’m tired! Hopefully it helps.

LSD (as his licence plate read) was bad in the way republicans used to be bad before they all became psychopaths. But he at least genuinely cared about the UW system. Kasten would have been far worse.

I once brought a case of original Leinies in a carryon (this was a long time ago) to trade for some camera gear.

A great moment in Wisconsin history was a governor’s response to a proposal to build a water pipeline from the Great Lakes to the southwest: “they can have all the water they want so long as it’s processed with barley, malt, and hops and shipped in 12oz cans”.

Really?!?!? lol. I just remember the porn factoid from the “get Brexit done” debacle and Rees-Mogg on “happier” British fish.

The British porn industry is bigger than British fishing.

This is a fun list but for me, this spot will always be for the Modern Lovers and “Roadrunner”. But I’m old.

Can also mean “our extremely expensive consultants fucked it into the sun on our poorly specified IT procurement”.

Can't hear that phrase without the voice in my head Twilight Zoning "It's a cookbook!!!"

Hmmm. With novels you have the same “team” every time which I imagine must help. Consider bands. The right edge of that distribution is going to be much hotter than for film but probably cooler than for novelists.

You've posted about fashion / the beauty industry, etc before and its absolutely fascinating to me as a lazy cis het fat dude with no fashion sense. So much I had no idea about! I think you did a thread about how to colour match makeup from different companies and it amazed me. So anyway, thanks!
