1. I don’t have a “Memory Palace” so much as a “Memory Scrambled Pay-Per-View Channel” where I kind of look at a swirl of vaguely shaped colors and, like, let my imagination sort of freestyle rap-battle out an approximation of meaning.

2. I love how THE MUNSTERS chose to have a surf-rock theme song and then everyone just went on, like, “yeah, I guess surf-rock is the theme to light-hearted horror things” and it just stuck. Popular culture is just a bunch of random generations amalgamated together.

4. “Jeppson’s Malort” sounds more like a mid-to-late 19th century ailment than a liquor. Like a man comes back from the Civil War with a lingering ailment. “Ah, poor soul, he got the Jeppson’s Malort at Gettysburg”.

5. All I know is that if Vanilla Ice had been on that rocket Reed Richards stole instead of Ben Grimm, his catchphrase would’ve been “Stop! Clobberate and Listen!”

6. Why say “faster than light” when you could say “sooner than laser”?

7. You know that Bibleman wasn’t cool enough to have, as enemies, seven teens imbued with the magic of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth, respectively, who can then have their powers combine into Captain Sin. But, still, that should’ve been a thing.

8. If a vintner pees on your leg, don’t worry, he’s just marking his terroiritory.
