Disney, Wear OS development, Kubrick, bluegrass, the Oxford comma, and who knows what else. I contain multitudes. At the Vatican pavilion at the 1964 N.Y. World's Fair, when the guard wasn't looking, I licked Michelangelo's Pieta. AMA.

Got a coupon in the mail 2 months ago for a free chicken biscuit at Jesus Chicken (you know the chain). I'd never gone there before, because fuck them. But I went this morning. Got the biscuit and nothing else, and paid nothing, because fuck them. And won't go back, because ... fuck them.

How did it get a shot of a crescent moon, since it's currently a full moon if you're anywhere less than a couple hundred thousand km from earth??

Ok. I thought maybe our northern mockingbirds got Milkshake-Ducked or something.

Do they have a second refrigerator where they actually store their food? Where there isn't room for everything, and so you've got a hard-boiled egg on top of 2 stacked Tupperwares on top of three wrapped slices of pizza? And your wife crammed in two enormous 26-inch zucchinis from the garden?

I really need to check the mirror before I leave the house. But on the bright side, I got to cross out "Shop in Costco while wearing my pajama bottoms" off my bucket list.

I had a reservation for this, but when we went to leave for the city service on our LIRR line was stopped due to something (flooding? Fallen tree? Who knows). VERY sad I missed it. Did you do any meet & greets afterwards? (Say "no," don't make me feel worse)

I thought I was prepared for how bad "Wonka's The Golden Ticket" was going to be. I was not prepared. I couldn't make it through episode 1; the overacting, the artifice, the total awfulness... And that's not even counting the "Gene Wilder voice."

I think it was during the late Eisner era when Disney's doctrine changed from "Give the guest their money's worth" to "Don't leave any money on the table."

... auditorium. My cousin and I would run in first, and find two tickets -- which gave us a ride in the "Chrysler Turbine Car" around a track that weaved through the pavilion grounds. Real car > Magic Skyway car!

I loved the Magic Skyway; I was 9 years old, and I got to sit behind the wheel and pretend I was driving! But my favorite was next door, at the Chrysler pavilion. There was a Bil Baird marionette show (which I was uninterested in) where they hid golden tickets under some random seats in the...

As a Long Islander, I've always felt that you shouldn't be allowed to say "Nor'eastah" unless you dress like the Gorton's Fisherman.

I like the old Narcoosee's, but haven't been back since the redo. You can see the castle from your table; we saw a beautiful rainbow over it just before my wife had a severe allergic attack from something in her Magical Star Cocktail. It was gone after the EpiPen.

Leave her alone, kids. Gertie's on the toilet.

The Magic is still my favorite ship. It's smaller and feels more personal -- like Disneyland compared to WDW.

Hello do it anyhow, because he knows there'll be no repercussions. He doesn't even GET anything out of this, but he'll do it anyhow because he thinks he looks weak if he doesn't.

That has got to be the stupidest, worst-written, most poorly-conceived episode in 60 years of Trek. Including "Spock's Brain."

He's going to tear it down. He had the willows cut down to facilitate bulldozer access; same reason he's having this sculpture removed. He's a petty little bitch because they made him take his name off it. And Roberts and Congress made sure NOBODY can stop him.
