Olive ditched me for a Sailor Man
Where a plane strafed the clouds like a finger in the sand. Also love a morning like this where you can make out the spherical “firmament” encasing us.
AMERICA 250 Photo Album 01 We happened to be traveling during America's Semiquincentennial so I had US on the brain when I was snapping pics. All are found compositions that I felt told parts of our nation’s story. 1/x
CODA Loyalty to Trump has unmasked any romanticized version of a Congress of cordial opposition as the same monster with a barely genteel veneer. What “values” do Republicans have other than the wealthy white Christian male supremacy that was always at their core?
When you go to a bar (or restaurant) and discover that the bathroom is in the BACKROOMS
"SAY YES AND NEVER DO IT" - Mel Brooks Sharing the man's wisdom in honor of Mel Brooks' 100th birthday. Creatives, how have you stood by the convictions of your expertise in the face of production scrutiny?
My first movie in theaters at age 4 and it immediately hit as MY sense of humor but especially “You ain’t got no other pants.” which I realized was meta because he was a puppet who never changed his outfit. Happiness, Miss Piggy.
I haven’t been won over by “dirty sodas” but this Creamsicle Icee with Cold Foam is sunshine through a straw.
Y’all come back to Cooter’s in Nashville, your BACKROOM to 70s/80s southern fried pop culture. We’ve got rugs made from Burt Reynolds’ chest hair, and endless staircase of tin lunch boxes, and the orangutan from Any Which Way But Loose fused to your grandma’s side chair.
WIDOW’S BAY truly delivered as an impeccably produced horror comedy (Parks & Rec by Stephen King) but also increased my esteem for MIDNIGHT MASS if you have a taste for even pulpier small island intrigue. There’s a closing scene to one ep that bleeds into the credits that continues to haunt me.
Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. ROOMIES, 8 eps 1987 Corey Haim as a 14 year old genius and Burt Young as his retired drill sargent college roommate. I don’t remember a single plot but I’ll never forget that Haim turned their closed into a floor to ceiling aquarium
Andy Ogles - the same “Family Values” politician who had his wife & kids arm up to pose for their Christmas card while we were grieving those murdered in the Covenant School shooting in HIS district. Same Trump loyalist who proposed an unconstitutional THIRD TERM for his master. VOTE HIM OUT, TN
SESAME SHRINKING! (the pairing of Oscar with “Paul” as grouches is fitting) “Eat a bag of cookies, Pam!”
I got to visit sweet friends at our local Nashville PBS and realized my profile looks like the logo. Also featured, a shrine with actual Big Bird feathers and their slick PBS Kids wrapped ride.
