And...who the heck is 'Sloopy' anyhoo? Makes no sense to me...but then, I like Whitecastles so...

Somebody whose life stood to be bettered by his making a game effort to hang on, that's all I know.

Somehow the temp on my mini-fridge got turned all the way down.  My oranges could literally kill someone right now if I chucked them at someone's head.

Attack of the Killer Oranges does have potential......

Sloopy was a girl. Even as a kid, I saw her in my head as one of those lean, slightly tall, willowy blond hippie girls. Kinda like Peggy Lipton on THE MOD SQUAD.



Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town
And everybody here tries to put my Sloopy down
Sloopy, I don't care what your daddy do
'Cause you know Sloopy girl I'm in love with you
And so I'm singing
Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy hang on
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

It's quite ironic that the Blue Beetle would go to DC, since the Blue Beetle was made to a Green Hornet rip off, and that the Blue Beetle was made from Victor Fox Studios, who was sued by DC for Wonderman, a Superman rip off. And DC won that sue.
yeah no.

If they ever remake Crocodile Dundee as a gay rom-com, I hope they bypass the obvious pun on the title.

It confuses me when I read that a TV channel or streaming service "orders" a series. Ordering from who? Is there a company out there specialized in making series based on orders?

Ordered from a production company, like broadcast networks do. Only a small percentage of series are produced by the individual networks.

So, apparently you can buy seeds that'll give you RAINBOW colored tomatoes and carrots.  Uh.. did anyone else know this was a thing?

I mean, look at this...



Is this real or is someone screwing around on photoshop?  I mean, red, orange, yellow, green.. seen all those tomatoes before, but blue and purple? 

And here's the carrots...



Dunno, a lot of them look less like carrots and more like peppers...

I mean, I knew potatoes could come in some funky colors (including a bluish-purple) but carrots and tomatoes?   


Leah

Carrots were originally purple until the Dutch got involved and became orange
yeah no.

So I wasn't totally off with my guess. It's just that most articles never mention where they order from. Series here in Germany are mostly produced by their own network.

I wonder how the cast of 90210 feels about the album 90125...

I believe my elder sister won't be seeing most of my family, she threw a house phone and boot at me after a fight to get my mom's car keys from her. :/
yeah no.
