1.) be longing, belonging, be, longing

2.) A middling all-female Weezer cover band would cover their entire catalogue and be called “Sheezer”. A GREAT all-female Weezer cover band would ignore everything after the second album and be called “Louiser”.

3.) How great would a poster of vampires piloting a UFO with the caption “I VANT TO BELIEVE” be?

4.) I kind of want to write a spoken-word parody of “All-Star” about Batman but only if we can get Kevin Conroy. I can hear his voice start off “Some butler once told me, as if to gently scold me, we just fall down to get up again…” in my head.

5.) I sure hope Popeye’s Italian cousin Pesto gains his power from basil instead and when he hulks out for a fight with Brutus’ Italian cousin Cesar, he screams his battle cry “PESTO CHANGE-O!”

6.) What if they’d gone with a musician spokesman instead of a jock? What if instead of the Foreman Grill, it had been… oh… Bo Griddley?

7.) No one would enjoy a parody of Nine Inch Nails’ Mr. Self-Destruct about Bob Villa called “Mr. Shelf-Instruct” more than me but, like, I still recognize that almost no one else would enjoy it at all.

8.) Yes, at beautiful Mount Airy Lodge all you HAD to bring was your love of everything but also bringing clothes and money and stuff was quietly strongly-recommended.
