Reminds me of the Community Episode "Digital Estate Planning" where in the 80's Pierce suggested his father invest in video games rather than just moist towlettes.

I know, right?! Totally better than Singin' in the Rain....
Also, do you have shares in this Gumball show, Ricky? I don't think I'd have ever heard of it if you weren't bigging it up on the forums/Tirades wiki.
Nope, am just convinced that James and Damien are the true writers of it.
Hey Mike, if I made a Gumball podcast. would you consider it for Earth-2.net?

Not long ago, the Amazing World of Gumball parodied Speed. I find the fact that 20 years later, a children's show pays homage to it is a testament to how great the movie is.

"Do not trust the Amish. They are NOT your friends."
L&C could be really great when it wanted to be.
I just have the image of someone making fun of an Amish person and they wake up the next day to find that their house has a house built around it.

Has anyone experimented with putting games on their website? When I volunteered at the public library, all the kiddies would use the computers to play games powered by Kongregate. Looking into it I have found that all though many of the games are open source, some of them come with viruses. Are there any open source or public domain games that you would recommend?

Bad Clowns, Benjamin Radford - Skeptical paranormal investigator takes a look at the fear of clowns. Ben looks at places I would have never thought about like Italian poetry about Harlequin, or how Ronald McDonald is now seen as the face of corporate greed. This book was published right as clown sightings began. He only talks about a few which start with "The Northampton Clown" in 2013. Being a paranormal investigator he talks about "phantom clowns" a monster I have never heard of.

Gosnell: The Untold story of America's most prolific serial killer by Ann McElhinny and Phelim McAleer - A difficult read. I remember hearing on NPR about a Pennsylvania abortionist who was responsible for the death of his patient, but nothing more for years. Reading the account, I now know that the clinic was dirty, the people he hired were unqualified and under-trained, equipment was recycled and reused. There were testimonies of Gosnell not taking off his gloves between eating and abortions, there were even some that said he would eat during the procedure. That is, the women whose anesthetic wore off in the middle of the procedure. Karnamaya Mongar, the immigrant from Bhutan, whom the staff dubbed "The Indian Woman" was given too many drugs which led to her death. Aside from this death, the charges that put Gosnell in prison were of babies that were above the legal Pennsylvania period.
Ann and Phelim subvert the expectations many pro life readers may have by pointing out that it was not a conservative movement or campaign that brought his activities to light but the D.E.A. tracking down his pill mill operation. I also realized that Gosnell did not give the women choice. The paperwork was set up to go through as quickly as possible so that a woman who may have been forced, would not have time to reconsider. Even in some cases, women who decided to keep the baby were tricked into believing their baby was dead and needed him to extract the body.
The authors pointed out that Gosnell violated Pennsylvania law that said that women needed time and counseling from first coming in before making their decision . Although later chapters showed that this option was given to white women, they were also the only ones who were in clean rooms as opposed to the blood stained ones that smelled of cat feces, for the others. The part of the book that was especially difficult for me to get my mind around was the discovery of over forty fetuses that Gosnell kept in his freezers. As well as keeping cut milk and juice jugs that were used to keep his personal trophies of severed feet.
Your stance on abortion may be different than mine, but I think we can agree that Dr. Gosnell was very dangerous.

Yesterday, in a crowd, I saw someone wearing a blue Zardoz shirt.

Many happy returns!

I don't feel the need to limit myself to mere British outlets for the propensity to insult someone....
Just one of many ways you out class me.

I'm just disappointed that DW no-sold my Dick Togo joke.
As someone who is named Richard I am glad that joke did not carry on. So many guys in my High School class thought they were being so hilarious when they would come up to me and say "Hi Dick."
I think I can count all the hours spent watching professional wrestling on one hand. So when Damien mentioned "The Death of WCW" I remembered that I really enjoyed that book and swiftly bought the tenth anniversary edition from audible.
My last name is Reddick.
Took me a while to realize the point you were making. Every time I hear your name I think about the fact that the president elect of my local Toastmasters club is a Canadian named David Reddick, technically it is Dr. David Reddick. I just am anticipating meeting other Canadians whose last name is Reddick and first name begins with the letter D. Daniel Reddick, Dexter Reddick, Dylan Reddick ...

I'm kinda proud of my MP3 feedback. And, needless to say, my best written feedback yet.
I really liked your question, may I give you a genre I hate but so many others seem to love.

I loved the Hidden Figures movie.

The 1 hour 8 minute Mark inspired me to ship Hanzo with Widowmaker.

Watched it yesterday with someone who did not see the first movie and he loved it. Didn't have to explain anything to him. He now wants to see the first one.

Freaky Fridays ,a blog that looks at bad paperback thrillers, recently posted about "The Glow." Which talks about the dangers of jogging, not heatstroke or dehydration but of geriatric cults which drain the blood of younger people. This is the rare entry that had a movie adaptation.

So he's basically on the ultimate victory lap right now.
...To the extreme!

You had some good choices. While I could not think of any curses, here are some that I would have included on my list.
for good witches
Madame Razz from She Ra: Princess of Power
Kiki from Kiki's Delivery service
Yuuko Ichihara from Tsubasa/Holic
For wicked witches.
Lamia from Stardust.

I have been watching a few of the Max Fleisher Superman cartoons. The animation is beautiful. I did not believe the claim that these cartoons inspired the look of Miyazaki's robot until I saw it now I am convinced. (If you can listen carefully you can hear Miyazaki stomping his feet in protest)
I wonder if Lois had the reputation of being the ultimate damsel in distress when the show came out. In the episodes I have seen her:
- Shoot train thieves with a tommy gun.
- Fight a racist cartoon while her hands were tied.
- Infiltrate a Nazi headquarter in order to give the location of a pending U-boat raid to the R.A.F.
- Tie up terrorists while in a out of control rocket car.
also she totally knows that Superman is Clark.

Brad Bird has only directed one live action movie, that being Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, but I agree. He would be a wonderful choice to direct The Spirt! On that list, I'd also place Jon Favreau (for his serious lightheartedness), Nicolas Winding Refn (for his use of color and music), and Chris Columbus (for his childlike fun and adventure).
Brad Bird actually did make a teaser for a Spirit movie. Here it is in its entirety.

Even though I enjoyed the story of Henrietta Lacks, I have mixed feelings about the show.
Favorite/Best: Joe Johnston
