  • Bernadette Peters made The Golden Girls Gay Before The Golden Girls Did

    No explanation necessary.  Just sit back, turn up the sound and enjoy. (And by the way, those pants… are amazing.)

  • The GOP Debate I Want to See

    Imagine this scenario… just a full-on, high school wrestling match style debate with Christie as the referee.  And, of course, in my fantasy there are no GOP winners.

  • Christmas Crud & Exploring Youtube (4 Things You Should Watch)

    I’ve had this horrible sinus/ear/throat infection for days now (herein after referred to as “the crud”) which means I’ve spent a majority of the last three days in bed or on the couch. It just struck me that it’s odd we don’t say “in couch” as we do “in bed”.  I suppose that’s because we…

  • Miss Piggy and Rudolph Nureyev – Baby It’s Cold Outside

    Because of the Holiday crunch I’ve been low-key on the site except for some Instagram pics. Until I can get to a full-length post (any day now) I hope this clip from The Muppet Show featuring Miss Piggy and famed dancer Rudolph Nureyev will suffice. While the song is all Christmas, Miss Piggy makes the…

  • The Muppets GOP Hearing: From Green to Red?

  • VIDEO: The History of English in 10 Minutes

    Saw this on The Awesomer and loved it. I’m a nerd for etymology (not to be confused with entomology (the scientific study of insects) or entenmology (the non-scientific study of cakes).

  • How Do You Get Into Mordor?

    Overheard this conversation on the A train today between two 20-something coeds (who may be closeted sci-fi nerds). Coed 1: Oh my God, did you hear about Kelly? Coed 2: Kelly? Coed 1: Yah, Kelly! Coed 2: Who’s Kelly? Coed 1: You know, Kelly Kelly. Coed 2: Oh yeah, Kelly Kelly, from Jenny’s? Coed 1:…

  • Liviu Ciulei: Remembering the Romanian Theater Director

    In 1997 I was attending The University of Tennessee, pursuing a degree in Theatre, with an emphasis on performance (more specifically, musical theatre performance) but had dabbled in stage management… exactly once… as the assistant stage manager on a production of Grease.  I suppose I did a good job because I was asked to stage manager…
