I've reached the point where I'm pleasantly surprised when somebody is RIGHT on the Internet.

I don't want to be the one to say this, but nobody else has yet. Lafferty is obviously white, since, after the stuff he did, he's still alive with no reported major injury.

You don't have to horse me to read xkcd.

This reminds me of an early Smothers Brothers comedy album titled "Tour de Farce", which, being 9 years old, I needed my parents to explain to me was a take-off on "Tour de Force" (or, today, Tour de Horse). That was pivotal in starting my interest in wordplay and puns, do blame Tom & Dick Smothers.

(psst: the link goes to page two of the list.)

Also, as another B:BatB lover, I wondered why you referred to "golden age" Batman when most of what made this show fun was the "silver age" elements (which the first page of the linked article pointed out). I like that it included two of the 'meta/wacky' Bat-Mite episodes among the Top 10 (well, the Finale was a slam dunk), but while noting many of the stunt castings on the show, it failed to mention that Bat-Mite was voiced by Paul "Pee Wee" Reubens, in one of his finest performances.

That theory is now getting some serious debunking, but then, it was in the Daily Mail, the British newspaper moist likely to frame a foreign immigrant for something.

Yes, I moved from L.A. to San Luis Obispo County (up the coast 'tween L.A. and S.F.) a few years after the Rams moved to St. Louis. I halfway expected a cadre of Rams loyalists here, since San Luis IS Spanish for St. Louis, but by then, the love had migrated to the Raiders, since then to be replaced by the 49ers as the Raiders' reputations as 'the bad boys of the NFL' faded into vague memory. Remember that? When the Cowboys were "America's Team", the Oakland Raiders were "Counterculture America's Team". At least they didn't do what a majority of teams named "Raiders" do (according to a recent survey): use a Native American warrior as a mascot.

I put this post in my oven at 450° (Fahrenheit, of course) for 45 minutes and it STILL came out half-baked. What am I doing wrong?

"Larry the Cable Guy" (not his real name, if you didn't know) was born/created for the role.

Good collection, but the 11 missed one of my all-time favorite buildings, the headquarters of the Longaberger Basket Company in Newark, Ohio, built to look like a giant woven-wooden basket (and very successfully so). Although intended to resemble one of the company's gift baskets, it looks to me more like a pic-a-nic basket that would throw Yogi Bear into shock.

It can't happen here, right? Uh, right?

If I had any kids (which fortunately for the world's gene pool I don't), my first would've been Weird Al (or Weird Alice). After that, I would've p'd off every teacher my child would ever face with a kid named Yes, and just confused them with Bonzo Dog Band and Oingo Boingo with one touch of relative normal from Steely Dan.

...well, it certainly would work better than what they used for "Two and a Half Men" or "Friends", but I would never want anything replacing the openings to "Star Trek" or "The Twilight Zone" or "Gilligan's Island". Heck, I'll even add "The Big Bang Theory" to that list of Irreplaceables; it's the only thing about that show I love. And replacing the incongruously low-key opening of "Hill Street Blues", which came at a time when all cop show themes were over-dramatic, would be just plain wrong. Of course, I also think the ongoing revisions to the "Doctor Who" theme are not good... bring back the '60s synthesizer, please!

This brings back lots of memories for me; there used to be a Free Font site named FamousFonts that had dozens of these, and most of the sites that catalog free fonts still have a section for "Famous Fonts". I'm surprised the article didn't include...
The Simpsons,
Mythbusters,
IBM,
Porsche,
MAD Magazine,
Dummies (the books)
or Yahoo!

What? Coke but no Pepsi?
Gilligan's Island but no Brady Bunch?
Snickers but no Kitt Katt?
Star Wars but no Star Trek? (that's original series, but there are fonts for most of the other series and movie logos, as well as for the Enterprise decals).

And Panera Bread but no Pizza Hut or Taco Bell or Kentucky Fried Chicken or Burger King?

What I find most notable about the "Yellow Submarine" font is how many places besides the Beatles' movie it has been used. In fact, there's another version that, noting its ubiquity for sci-fi titling, named it Asimov. (That's the version in my ridiculously large font collection.)

Yeah, fonts... Don't get me started on fonts... oh, you did.

In the suburbs of Los Angeles (Pasadena. Sherman Oaks and Panorama City), I have visited two 2-story Targets and a 2-story WalMart, all put into the shells of former traditional department stores and they all have Cart Escalators (which always run slightly slower than the Human Escalators so you can position your cart and watch it take off, then go up and meet it at the top). They are cool. Those stores all also have regular elevators bigger than some of the Freight Elevators I've seen elsewhere, also to accommodate shoppers with carts.
