Whoa. New Doug Tuttle elpee? Where the heck have I been?

JakeGould:

@DanneD: If this means anything to you, I work near Barclays Center and there’s an Islanders game tonight so I hate to trudge through the crowds to get home. One guy said, “Who the fuck are they playing tonight? The Devils?” Response, “No…” to which the guy retorted, “Good, I hate the fucking Devils.”

I remember laughing with my teenage friends (all already confirmed prog fans) at how overboard the slamming of "Love Beach" was when it first appeared

I dunno, John! But I'm glad you're here now - you and Danne posting back to back reminded me that I need to recruit a new player for the efd fantasy baseball league!

Have you noticed how much "King of the Hill"s Hank Hill resembles Dave Berg's "Lighter Side" surrogate self, and the whole comedic tone and visual style of that show is influenced by Berg?
