ReplyDeleteHow can Arrested Development be cancelled?
How can you possibly be in my brain?
ReplyDeleteOver the past 24 hours I had given serious thought to the EIsner, Lopez and Schneider mysteries.
Tonight I will cry myself to sleep.
How can Desperate Housewives have beat out Curb Your Enthusiasm AND Arrested Development for best comedy?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the world hasn't folded over on itself and our bodies turned inside out.
Commence Armageddon.
Love the site: some answers--
ReplyDeleteEl Coyote has great chips and salsa for free. What mystery is here for you?!?!?!? It's not like Mexican Restaurants with long histories so close to the Mexican border are an anathema.
Oil companies charge 3.00 a gallon because China and India are approaching first world status and sucking up oil like a dry sponge. Hello supply and demand? Not a conspiracy. Account for inflation and the price ain't even that high. LA driver bias anyone?
My two gripes. Mostly the El Coyote one. Heh.
Gas is almost $6.50 in Amsterdam, so there's some perspective.
ReplyDelete...though apparently government tax on gas in Europe is what accounts for up to 75% of the cost.
Maybe this will help you Ken:

Oh and:
How can your blog consistently be the highlight of my day?
I need to write more...
Yours is the second anti-El Coyote remark I've heard in a couple of days. All I can do in their defense is shrug and keep eating there once in a while. I've eaten at worse.
ReplyDeleteRe: 24. Nevermind cell phones -- how can Jack Bauer drive from the Santa Clarita area to headquarters in the Wilshire/near downtown district in less than an hour? Is CTU HQ in an orbiting blimp?!?

ReplyDeleteGreat post, btw.

ReplyDeleteYes, we're headed towards a theocracy. Theocracy is a form of government in which a religion and the government are intertwined.
That's us.
* A theocracy is when our President states that the jury is still out on evolution.
* A theocracy is when our President states that he answers to a "higher" power.
You may HATE emotional absurdism; in fact, so do I. But don't wonder what happened to the world when your girlfriend can't get an abortion because you forgot to pull out.
No Neil Sedaka, no Connie Francis. The Hall is a sham.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with El Coyote?

How can a woman be expected to pass a baby through her vagina without screaming, "You did this to me, Cult Boy!"
ReplyDeleteI think I can answer the Bucky question. He's from North Carolina. Between Clay Aiken and Fantasia, it should be clear to su all by now that the Old North State has the most pop-singing talent in America. They don't allow you to be voted off if you're from NC. This time, they're going all in with three contestents left. I foresee and all NC finale.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, how can Clay Aiken possibly be a sex symbol?
Re: Gene Wilder - We had that *exact* issue with the Premiere list. I love Gene Wilder, I don't begrudge him a spot on the list--but NINE? For YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN? Wha? In the end, my parody-writing husband got me to agree that Wilder deserved a spot for a performance that held up against Mel Brooks' relentlessly hammy filmmaking.
ReplyDelete...good point about Gene Wilder. I love YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, but he was much better as Willy Wonka. If anything, that deserves a #9 spot on that - or any - performances list.

How can El Coyote on Beverly Blvd. stay in business?
ReplyDeleteIt's where locals bring outta-town guests that they'd wished weren't here visiting at all and would they, please, just go home. I've, just, been there too often under stressful situations.
How can MAMA MIA still be running on Broadway?

(flash-bang for ABBA/CULT MASS in F minor)
How can Jessica Simpson want to adopt a child?
Probably a really simple reason that makes all the sense in the world, once you know it. but, what's it to ya, bub, anyway? Huh? S'kinda personal, dontcha think? Or dontcha?
How can Neil Sedaka not be in the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame?
He's icky. (Makes my skin crawl?)
How can Barbara Walters be on INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO?
At what episode will it jump the shark and at what # episode before they REALLY begin scraping the bottom of the barrell. IF EVER? This could outlast Face the Nation, eventually. Hmmm?
How can I be the only one who doesn't find David Letterman funny?
It's a geek thang.
How can George Bush not go down in history as the worst President ever?
A lot like my anscestor, J.K. Polk, n'es p'as?
