Yeah, I got drip. DRIP COFFEE. Just gettin’ some lawn adornments from the Gnome Depot, is all. If you want to show awful ads on that little screen with the tinny blown-out speakers when I’m...

Less purchases of muscle-cars at mid-life, more existential Chryslers! Relax! You’re getting a massage at The Spa of The Living Dead! Enjoy the zombiance! If her stage name is Charity, your...

I want a Home Alone where Kevin is now a serial killer of neglectful parents and The Wet Bandits are offered time off their sentences if they help the FBI find him and bring him down. THE SILEN...

If you think about it, a Bollywood musical number about a cheating lover could devolve into a Frenchin’ Indian War. Jedis and Sith alike get the crystals for their laserswords on Kyber Monday...

I feel like if we start naming COVID strains to sound like rare Transformers figures, we’re going to end up with the internet WANTING to collect them all. He claimed he was beaten up by a mys...

Eminem rapping about the Spider-Man trailer: “And Doctor Strange says / NOTHING, YOU IDIOT / he’s with the villains he locked in the basement!” NEW RULE: You can only tell origin stories in t...

So DC Comics had a character with power to control rocks & dirt who was European royalty & they called him “Geo-Force” not “Landlord”? Do I have to think for everyone? Did they have a w...

Calling the minor X-Men character Jamie Madrox “Multiple Man” missed a trick. They could’a done “The Divisible Man”. A book about the insane economics of social media and viral video called M...

Middle November. Out the window, in the streetlight, the first flurries of wet snow in the sky. Every single mind born in the Lake Effect Belt looks out, clenches their jaw, balls up their fist...

Maybe conservative parents would be more comfortable with sex ed. classes if we called them something different like “Pubic Relations”. Do people take a short break in No-Nut November for Cra...

“Don’t go eat the Applebees with anyone else but me, anyone else but me” would be the weirdest song parody ever. Asshole bottom JEANS, boots on the FEET If Disney really wanted to get their...

Do you think anyone ever broke up with Geordi LaForge, was like “I think we should see other people” then, like, was so embarrassed by the faux pas that she rescinded the break-up? He’s the o...

A three-way mash-up of Sublime’s “Badfish” (remember that brief period where alt-rock songs all started with party muttering? good times!) 4 Non-Blondes’ “What’s Up” and Bee Gees’ “I’ve Gotta G...

You would figure “the place where the bugs lay all their eggs” wouldn’t be a name for a food delivery service and yet “grub hub” exists. A weird thing about being a person: nothing teaches le...

If you start calling ducks “honkies” eventually you are going to get around to some fun conversations. No, the WEIRDEST celebrity mash-up would be Crispin Bale. So apparently facebook doesn...

A reverse “It’s A Wonderful Life” where Chris Pratt is forced to realize he was a better human being as a “failure” stoner beach bum than as a rich and famous actor in deep with a cult. You j...

The good news is that the music played in heaven’s waiting room is the theme to TAXI. The bad news is that the music played in hell’s waiting room is “Take It Easy” by the Eagles. So, like, cho...

Only in COVID did we finally fulfill the prediction of “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. One nation, stupid and contagious. A remake of MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE, directed by Guillermo del Torgo and s...

Plot’s uninteresting to me. Character, theme, tone, plot’s just the necessary skeleton they hang off. Do you look at a handsome man or a beautiful woman & think “what a tibia!”? No, you app...

In “Rocket Robin Hood” was the female lead “Maid Martian”? It should’ve been, anyway. A Toto “Africa” parody built around the line “Throw bless-ed rain on DRAC-U-LA”. Some people get pretty...
