got to Fantastic Four #300, saw a wedding officiant introduced as "Gurdon Brewster," and thought "that is way too specific to not be a reference," and it is! a neat one! Gurdon Brewster (1937-2017) was a chaplain and sculptor, making him a perfect choice for the wedding of Alicia Masters.

Gurdon Brewster giving Johnny Storm and (sort of, real heads know) Alicia Masters pre-nuptial advice in Fantastic Four #300 (1987)

whenever I see the word "bioscoop" on a foreign movie poster, I imagine a crane scooping up a huge sloppy pile of Li'l Lisa's Patented Animal Slurry

Man, I like every Cowsills song I've heard, but I don't think I have it in me to get into this particular band It's kinda like how every now and then I want a blueberry muffin but I don't want to try every single kind of muffin, much less learn to bake them (I actually love to bake, but)

man they simply do not make theme songs like the old one for Monday Night Football I think we've become too afraid, as a culture, to just go all in on saying THE TV YOU'RE ABOUT TO WATCH IS GOING TO BE FANTASTIC, like there's some ur-girl that's going to look down on us for our sincerity

because I am who I am, I often find one part of my mind arguing with an imaginary person a different part of my mind made up to insult the gestalt; I only mention that to provide context for this rebuttal: "I got a mid-90s public school education in Texas so I'm 70% sure I know a pun when I see one"

if you wanted to be a real dick to an amateur improv group, you would say something like "Chim-Chim from Speed Racer and, uh, Rodin". and yet

I do not care about the halo, everything about that portrait says Rasputin to me

another modern convenience I adore and try not to take for granted: 10-hour-long YouTube videos that are just an ultra-specific type of noise and/or visual wallpaper the sound of a thunderstorm from inside a car? we've got it, sweet dreams the sound of a merrily gurgling aquarium? oh do we ever

one part of my brain is mashing up a Boards of Canada track (if you think I have those song names memorized you are out to lunch) and "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League and the rest of my brain is reacting like a cat seeing a mirror for the first time

I love filling in the gaps in my video game history knowledge, and the 80s micro scene in the UK is one of my bigger blind spots. Now, that said. Every time I see the name Artic Computing I get that same "you are looking at something deformed" reaction I also got from Infogrames. "Artic". Come on.

analog horror is great and all, but every now and then you discover something like Chris Crawford's GOSSIP (Atari 8-bits, 1983) and your brain lights up like a pinball machine and says, ahhhhh, that's the *real* stuff

so this conversation about something that happens in BEETHOVEN'S 2ND (1993) reminded me that the SNES game is based on that film and not the original, and now I have some *questions*

so I put one of these black cherry flavoring packets into my mug full of hot water this morning instead of a teaspoon of instant coffee, "just to see if I'd like it," and talk about a case of I Don't Know What I Was Expecting still drank the whole thing, though

a box of Kroger Black Cherry "Fitness" enhanced drink mix, but don't look for it in stores - this box had a sell-by date of mid-2019 and is at least two design iterations behind the present

you simply cannot leave a USB drive plugged in around here lest one of my ding-a-ling cats come along and shove their faces against it hard enough to break it maybe I should just have a bunch of knobs and rods and things installed at cat height all over the place (The Texture Pleasure Emporium)

there have been many albums I've loved but only a few have been my go-to comfort listening in a way that's both endured over my lifetime and, probably, have made themselves self-fulfilling prophecies: ladies and gentlemen, STARS ON E.S.P. by His Name is Alive www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

man any fears I had about the new Boards of Canada album being a letdown were completely exorcised and I've listened to this thing probably about two hundred times there have been times at work when I've looked forward to going home and listening to it, something normally reserved for video games
