    RIP Adam West

    I have read many wonderful anecdotes about Adam West in the past couple of days. Someone posted online that all the other actors who have played Batman should attend his funeral the way living Presidents do for one who has passed; I thought that was brilliant, and fitting for a man whose jovial...

    Oh man, I remember the Brothers Brothers. Hilarious. I assume you've seen some Key & Peele?

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    Finding a dark and twisted little story I began some years ago still holds up. Now I'm determined to finish it.

    Happy Birthday D'Snowth!!!

    :news: Here is a MUPPET NEWS FLASH! An arctic breeze was noted sweeping down to the Appalachians today. Scientists are baffled by the unseasonably cool wind. This reporter tracked it to what appears to have been its ultimate destination: a large birthday cake guarded by two weird pink creatures...

    You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if...

    YMBAOMF if you're keeping track of every Muppet reference in the new MST3K episodes (and I can attest there is at least one in eps 1-5, including a Sweetums joke).

    Muppet Fan Confessions

    I detested Piggy for years, finding her eminently irritating and one-dimensional...and then I read Ru's epic "Kermie's Girl," which is wonderful and a thoughtful character treatment; and then "The Muppets" film made me think perhaps Piggy had more depth than previously shown.

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    Ahh. Well...you could always try telling her that...nicely. No reason she can't keep her mom-friends even if you have zero in common with the kids, right?

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    After a long and sometimes irritating work week, came home tonight and scrubbed up with my Foxcroft body butter...and now I smell like a forest floor in early October and it is the best thing ever. (Dying leaves is my favorite scent. Not even kidding.)

    Describe yourself with fictional characters

    Okay, I'll play. As a kid, I was overly serious, bookish, had awful Coke-bottle-lens glasses, and knew nobody really wanted to be my friend, though why was a complete mystery to me; as a teen, I developed the ability to act more supercilious and bluff my way through any mockery thrown at me...

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    A ton of boring stuff, like laundry and bathroom-cleaning and changing sheets and grocery shopping...but also watched the first 3 eps of "Braindead," which is brilliant, and will soon have a mudslide and another episode.

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    The whole weekend has been fairly good. Slept in, had Chinese takeout and homemade flapjacks (no, not pancakes, there IS a difference), weeded in our garden plot until I could feel every muscle in my body distinctly... okay, so soreness isn't wonderful, but seeing the progress in our garden is...

    The last TV show you watched was...

    Started watching "Braindead" on Amazon prime today...hooked. Brain-eating bugs from space are taking over American politicians and that's the reason for our current chaos in DC. Brilliant, funny, well-acted, and so far well-plotted, with good acting and believable characters. Strongly...

    Questions about anything

    I believe Berkley Breathed re-started the strip fairly recently. It's sweet, but not nearly as witty as it was years ago.

    I'm at least a season behind on Sleepy Hollow. That show is mythology on crack.
